My TI-89 spit out 1.20533E20....pretty sure that's not right since there's not an upper or lower bound to evaluate it lol, stupid calculator. Can't do it on paper it's just been too long lol...

lol anytime. I'm always on here reading, but don't post very often. Our server will let me read the site but not post for some reason. But I'm teaching in the Cy-Fair district starting in August so I think that may be pretty close and my girl is from Wharton so I know the area pretty "okay"
