This is a list of fairly definite locations and addresses at fairly definite times.  There are lots of repetitions of addresses.  I don't know what more I'll do with it.  Someday I'll get an inspiration, and wonder why I didn't think of it before.  And then it will be a huge amount of work to implement the inspiration - more work than if I had the inspiration right now.  Oh, well.
