snagged in outlet 3 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Too cold for me. You can get generation schedules here. Just click on the day over on the left. They update around 5PM for the next day except on Friday you can get Sat., Sun., and Mon. I know about the gen schedules and graphs, I just enjoy looking at the actual river on the web cam. It'll warm up soon, I hope. SIO3 PS Sorry for hijacking your thread Denjac. Those are typical questions for those trivia night fund raisers.
David Unnerstall Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 How come the International Date Line is not a straight line? What is up with that?
flytyer57 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Technically I am right. We are often asked the question....."What are the most northern, southern, eastern and western U.S. States?" Well, if you include all 50 states in the answer, and you should, the answers are: (Northern is Alaska) (Southern is Hawaii) (Eastern is Alaska) (Western is Alaska) If you note the map, Alaska is clearly the most northern state, and Hawaii, at 20º North, is without doubt the most southern state. (Note how much further south it is than Florida} As far as the most western state, note how Alaska's Aleutian Islands stretch right up to the edge of the Western Hemisphere at the 180º line of Longitude, thus the most western state in the country. Alaska is also the answer for eastern, as the Aleutian Islands stretch across the 180º line of Longitude, into the Eastern Hemisphere, and up the edge of the Russian Federation. Yes, the Aluetian Islands do stretch across the 180° longitudinal line so I guess in that sense it is in the "Eastern Hemisphere." As for the "International Date Line" though, it's in the "Western Hemisphere." There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
