Yes, I stand corrected. The terminator does run right through Central
America puting NA in darkness and SA in light in winter AM.

And stop learning?! Not on your life! I can be wrong. Fine. But I refuse
to stop learning. If your philosphy is to shut up in fear of being wrong
rather than be wrong and then as a result learn something, then you should
change your approach. My ego is simply not that large that it needs to get
fed by being right all the time.
