These are both pretty neat!

This one I have to use frankfort_ky or it will show me Frankfurt, Germany.  :)

This one works with a simple '/Frankfort'.  I wonder if it uses my location
info.

This one is interesting.  Using "Frankfort" seems to give the correct current
conditions.  However, if I ask for "Frankfort" and use the -F command (for
forecast), it says that the high for the next 5 days will be around 90F!  I
tried "Frankfort_KY" but that gives an error.  

I will have to work on that one some.  ;)
