[AT] way-WAY off topic Toyota vs. Toyoda???

[Larry Goss]

I'm in a hospital rehabbing from knee replacement surgury, Charlie, so I'm not going to go into the details, but the entire eco-system of the Baltic has more to it than just the N-S latitude.  The Baltic moderates the entire weather pattern of the region.  The tail end of the Gulf stream flows between Sweden and Denmark.  It has no tides, and northern Poland has more moderate winters than other portions of the country which lie farther south.

It's one of those "Mr.  Science" things.
