Additional NC East Chapter meeting data....
Besides the 1pm Hawaiian time start and the expected duration of two ISS
orbits, I have it on very good authority the distance from the
Smithsonian Station on the Metro can be delineated as approximately
9129.5 femtoParsecs.
Doing another arithmetic conversion, since 1 femtoParsec is
approximately equal to a standard G5RV, the distance from the
Smithsonian metro station can also be approximated as 9130 G5RV's. Give
or take a few "Varneys".
FWIW, if anyone leaves the meeting immediately after the two ISS orbits
and drives directly to New Orleans, you will arrive in time to get a
full night's rest before the first of the parades on Mardi Gras weekend,
which is probably a better choice than going on Fat Tuesday itself.
Just be careful which half of the French Quarter you explore. Exposure
of body parts varies by GPS coordinate from west to east. Outside the
French Quarter, ring-mail is advised to ward off bladed weapons. :o
