    Well, very good question!  Now here at home with (newer?)
    elements, I'm not getting those evening passes that I got
    at the office.  So I wonder if there was a maneuver or an 
    elset problem or what.  I didn't do anything special at 
    the office -- just ran my usual evening predictions (i.e.,
    just changed the date from the last time I ran them, plus
    got fresh elements).  Later today I will of course see if 
    I can figure out what happened at the office.  Just now I 
    used these elements:
    
    STS-107
    1 27647U 03003A   03022.25000000  .00062346  69784-5  12426-3 0   265
    2 27647  39.0183 191.8655 0010774  39.3027 206.0050 15.99181374   887
    
    Austin is roughly 30.3 north, 97.8 west.  Time zone is as 
    Kevin wrote, currently UTC/GMT -6.  (I always use UTC for 
    my evening predictions and keep my wristwatch set to UTC.)
