Transportation

Only you city folks are without cars. Pretty much everyone in the Nassau has access to a car assuming they have a license. However, because you live in NYC, you have access to brilliant public transportation. Meaning: Take the subway to Penn and then the train out to the Island if needed. And you know, ride a bike or something. Long Island isn't prohibitively big if you take trains/buses/riding a bicycle into consideration. NoOneButMe 00:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, its not a valid reason to say the algorithm is broken in any way imo. While the city has a bunch of places to explore, the point is (as i see it) for spontaneity in meeting places, not to create preordained meeting places that are grouped around a similar location every week.

Water

We had an awesome time on the water today. I took my kayak for two (you know, the one that travels through time) out to today's location. It was a blast. See you next time.

P.S. I only come to meetings at locations only accessible via Google Maps (Particularly, the blue squares).

Too Much Water

Since over half of our graticule is over water, I suggest a new rule for determining a meeting point:

The .5 Rule: if the latitude right of the decimal is less than .5, then add .5 to the number.
