Don’t post a lot, but I am an ole fart with a different (possibly sick) sense of humor. If folks outside the US of A are invited, open the gate and let me in! ---

Right this way, Senor. (Or is it Senora?) No geographical restrictions at all. In fact, if memory serves, Yucatan is due south of Tennessee (for the most part, anyway.) How close are you to Longitude 87W? ---

How close are you to Longitude 87W? For an ole fart (I assume you met the qualifications of the group?), you get around. Never thought I had anything in common with Tennessee, but indeed I am at Longitude 88W. And señor suits me fine. ---
