Or buy houses adjacent to a freeway and complain about the noise/dirt...

You're not *that* close to the freeway!

Define ...*that* close. :-)

Google Earth
N 45.08.38.40
W 93 15.39.24

45°08'38.40"N, 93°15'39.24"W
White vehicle in driveway.

White (westbound) semi, in the middle lane (of the freeway) can be seen over
the TOP of the freeway wall ...if one is at the keyboard in the computer
room, looking out the window. g

I don't know how to make my keyboard get the little (45°) circle, so I
cheat. I grab a coordinate off a quick Google web search, paste it
somewhere, then fill in my data around the little circles. Lame, but it
works for me!

On MS Windows, there is a utility called "Character Map" that allows you to
insert unusual characters while typing. It is probably under
"All Programs" - "Accessories" - "System Tools" - "Character Map".

103° here yesterday. Hold down the ALT key and press 504 on the numpad.

I've always used Alt-0176. 104° -- not normal for Denver, thank goodness.
But it's a dry heat.

°THAT IS NEAT!°

I'll never, ever remember it, when I need it -- but it's cool, nonetheless!
