Nice try Dan'l--Sylvia has it right now and her e-mail isn't working...but
I'll talk to her soon and mention that it is needed elsewhere!
It doesn't exactly pinpoint where you are--I tried it at my house (which is
about 1 1/2 miles from the starting point of the Duck Creek boxes) and got
exactly the same reading I had gotten for the boxes.
Or maybe I did something wrong...I dunno.
Cool thingy though.

art gallery run by women)
Want to buy a book? I'm trying to make a life-long dream come true and
open a bookshop. It's tiny, but it grows now and then. Come see!
