 Perhaps I missed this -- but how does one CAST from geography to geometry
 without going thru ST_AsText

 I can do this  geography(somegeometry)

 but no equivalent geometry(somegeography)

 and when I do this:  a.the_geog::geometry
 I get this:
 cannot cast type geography to geometry

 Also by the way your tests are failing again.
