Note also that the coordinates are now in Melissa's maroon-on-white font, neither white-on-black nor white-on-white -- so I guess we know who's in charge now.
(Hey, shouldn't this be in the "Update" forum?)

ACTUALLY THESE ARE NEW COORDINATES, or at least they've changed... the Bensenville, IL location, is NO LONGER ON THE LIST!
(It's time for me to do a OMGWTFBBQ! )

maybe they're all closer in location, or closer to where we are....
let's get these mapped and plotted....

Note that the times are Pacific STANDARD Time.
Could this be a mistake? Most of the country is on Daylight Savings time right now.

And the coordinates are now precise to six digits, instead of just four. (So much for http://www.maporama.com... )

I'll eat crow here.. the Bensenville location is there...
However, it now points to directly across the street from where I thought it was, which is a MARATHON station...
(I originally thought that station was a coincidence...) Funny if it still is...

These areas are MUCH more populated and closer to many things... trying to use some of our earlier theories.
