[Remind-Fans] Sun info & day|night times

[Dianne Skoll]

The following statements:

> ## Western  #### RANDOM PICK ON GOOGLE MAP
> SET LatDeg(58) ## -58.421753 58°25'18.3"W
> SET LatMin(25)
> SET LatSec(18.3)
> ## Southern
> SET LongDeg(-34)  ## -34.632117 34°37'55.6"S
> SET LongMin(-37)
> SET LongSec(-55.6)

... have no effect.  Or at least, not the *desired* effect.  Instead use:

SET $LatDeg 58
SET $LatMin 25
SET $LatSec 18

SET $LongDeg -34
SET $LongMin -37
SER $LongSec -55

Note the "$".  Note also that Remind does not support floating point.
Saying SET LongSec(-55.6) should have given a syntax error.

> ##  SUN STUFF ##
> SET sunrise(date)
> SET sunset(date)
> SET dusk(date)
> SET dawn(date)
> SET sunrise(date)
> SET sunset(date)

The above statements are not only unnecessary, but I'm surprised they
don't throw a whole lot of errors.

> FSET noon_solar(dt) frommins(( \tomins(sunrise(dt)) + tomins(sunset(dt)) \) / 2)

Better to use:

FSET noon_solar(dt) sunrise(dt) + (sunset(dt)-sunrise(dt)) / 2
