It's cloudy today in New York, but I just wanted to make sure that all you
followers of the sun on the horizon (Jim Minton et al.) know that the
"east-west" streets in Manhattan (in the great City of New York) are oriented
so that on this day (June 21), the sun will shine directly (or almost) down
the streets as it is about to set.  Jim, have you ever been in New York for
the summer solstice?  Anybody else?
