[TowerTalk] TowerTalk Digest, Vol 169, Issue 89

[Patrick Greenlee]

Thanks Jim, I don't know why I messed that up.  I have used the shadow 
to find true north and local noon several times.  May I plead a senior 
moment (era?)

Thanks again.  Hopefully anyone interested in true north and or local 
noon would have noted my error and would have done the right thing.

Oh and I have two slightly used but still in good shape owls!
