Default Sunrise, Sunset -- the real data, for anywhere in the world

For those interested, this URL allows the calculation of sun rise and
sunsets anywhere in the world.

Only those interested in factual information need look.

MX might ask, "What would the US Navy know about such things, anyhow?"

My flight planning software includes this same algorithm, and you can
use it to find the sunrise/sunset time for any location:

I seem to recall he claimed that US military sites singled him out and
prevented access. Maybe he'll come up with a less paranoid excuse this time
around.

Personally, I like the name of the entity responsible,

The Directorate of Time

I always expect The Doctor to pop in when I check that page.

If we're talking about he who nshould be ignored, it would offer the
opportunity to find, among other things, those days when there are in
fact 12 hours of daylight at the equator. Of course, doing so would be
a demonstration of an error on his part. I'd challenge him to admit
it, as the first small step in returning to within a standard
deviation of what might be considered 'normal'. But what do I know,
I'm only a psychologist.

And not a pilot.

And a woman!

Well... okay, I'll try and find that time, but let's get back to you. What
would you say was
the most challenging part of working for the Ambassador of France?

MRS. HARRISON
The pliable relationship the French have with time.


THE WEST WING (Season 4)
"20 HOURS IN AMERICA PART II"
WRITTEN BY: AARON SORKIN
DIRECTED BY: CHRISTOPHER MISIANO

JOSH
Let's get to the train station.

TYLER
You ever love so much it hurts? Like, physically hurts?

TOBY
Get in the car.

CUT TO: INT. AIR FORCE ONE, PRESIDENT'S OFFICE - DAY

BARTLET
There's a tremendous amount of informatin you need to keep track of: dates,
names, number,
things I'm not good with.

MRS. HARRISON
That's unusual, isn't it?

BARTLET
What's that?

MRS. HARRISON
A man of your intellect not being good with names and numbers. Especially an
economist of
your stature.

BARTLET
It's not intellect, it's memory. It's a different gift. A wonderful one.
I've never had it.

MRS. HARRISON
There are excersises you can do.

BARTLET
Well... okay, I'll try and find that time, but let's get back to you. What
would you say was
the most challenging part of working for the Ambassador of France?

MRS. HARRISON

BARTLET
Mm.

MRS. HARRISON
Yes, sir?

BARTLET
I make fun of the French as much as anybody and I don't even know what that
meant.

MRS. HARRISON
I meant...

BARTLET
Nah, that's okay. I think you're terrific and I appreciate your coming in
and talking to us.

MRS. HARRISON
Thank you, sir. I look forward to talking to your office.

BARTLET
Thanks again.


Paul-Mont :-)

That is a problem that cannot be cured

And not a pilot.


Now that problem can be cured in no time at all

You're right about that, I get about 50 hours a year as second in
command of a Mooney. I have know idea what it would feel like to fly
from the left seat, though.

My favorite organization name was the IERS: International Earth
Rotation Service and I speculated about the dire consequences if they
ever stopped providing this service.

Unfortunately they have since changed their title to the lengthier but
more mundane International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems
Service while retaining the same acronym.
