Hi, Ken -

Thanks for the pointer to the boulter.com/gps site.  Unfortunately, if
you have any unexpected (by their program) punctuation, it garbles the
result.  I simply took my first set of coordinates below (that have a
comma separating the two pieces) and stuffed it into the little
coordinates pane.  According to the result, I live at N34 08 02 and E5
40 07. Ahnold might be upset to find I was living considerably south of
his former home town instead of just east of his current hometown 'cuz
California wouldn't get my state income tax (can you tell what I did
last weekend?).  Otherwise, it's lovely.
