I know it doesn't require much math.
I'm just lazy.

Its also problematic if (as some places do) the hours are as follows:
Sun: 1-4 PM
Mon: 11-1, 4-7
Tue: 11-1
Wed: 11-1, 4-7
Thur: 11-7
Fri: 11-9
Sat: 11-3
It takes kind of long to first find out what day of the week it is,
then find what time it is (neither of which are easily accessible
from the built-in Names application when in "All Info" view), then
look up the right place in the above list of hours and find the right
time, and then factor in travel time, etc....
Of course, it'd be nice if the Newton could have GPS and use it and a
map to figure out the travel time, but I won't ask THAT much of the
Newton - yet. :)
