Actually, I decided to take a ride down to the library this evening to see
if they had "Longitude".  They did and I checked it out.  It does seem to
be a rather quick and interesting read -- I'm already about halfway
through it.

While I was at the library I decided to see if they had anything on Mason
and Dixon.  One book came up:  "The Journals of Mason & Dixon".  I
couldn't believe that the Erie Public Library had a copy of this.  It's a
non-circulating copy (rare book, I guess) so as soon as I've a free
Saturday I'm going to have to go spend some time with it.
