on latitudes

[gregoryness]

Here are the latitudes of places I've lived:

Gouverneur, NY:
44.33°N

Rochester, NY:
43.19°N

Lincoln, NE:
40.82°N

Fairbanks, AK:
64.82°N

Rice, MN:
45.75°N

I'm thinking the 45th parallel suits me well, for it is halfway between the Equator and the North Pole. And you know me, I'm fond of middle paths.
