Both of you are joking, I take it. But just in case someone is tempted to take this suggestion serious: The sun position does *not* peak at 12:00 "winter time" or 13:00 summer time. The deviation can be an hour or more, and furthermore it changes every day. Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
