   Latitude is a measure that divides exactly into nautical miles, 60 per   
   degree, which is one reason why metric never caught on for navigation.   
   The other is because metric was defined incorrectly in the 1790's. The   
   Earth's circumference was meant to be 40,000 km but it isn't, by 75 km   
   around the equator and 8 km around the poles.

   The solar system installers around here have zero interest in systems   
   as small as mine, and I suspect yours. They require all the   
   electrician's labor of larger systems without the profit.
