Yeah I've been aware of (and annoyed by) that fact since I was a kid. I guess when I saw direction = W, I just assumed it meant the direction of the wind is west. No biggie, it literally took me 25 seconds to fix it in the database. That is why I prefer building my site off a database as it makes recovering from an error like that almost painless.
