Default Serendipitous Observations

Puzzle: Estimate my latitude.

Brian, you overestimate my intelligence by several magnitudes. However,
playing with a globe, a ruler, the Scalnate Pleso Atlas, and a trig site
on the internet, (I don't know trig...) and hopefully remembering the
distance of the geostationary satellites as 22,000 miles, I'd crudely
guesstimate around 35 degrees...??
