Interesting about the coordinates Steve. I'lll have to
see what mine are on Buckmaster, haven't tried that 1.
My mailing address says I live in Lancaster, but I
live 5.5 miles away and can't even call Lancaster
without paying for it. However I can call Everest and
Huron for free. I'm in our phone company's Huron
exchange, but certain web-sites think I'm in Everest,
like the get local site on I-touch. What a mess, eh?
