enjoying the sunset the other day a neighbor walks up and asks, did you notice the sun setting further north?...

... I asked, isn't that because it's getting closer to summer? He said no, the earth has tilted and everything is off. He said the sun rises and sets further to the north these days.

The first thing I thought is this should affect navigation so I thought I'd ask here. Has anyone else noticed what he has? Is there a noticeable difference in the tilt of the earth compared to years past and if so, how has that affected your navigation?

BTW, he told me that this has to do with the recent earthquakes, volcano eruptions and bad weather.
Is he full of it or is there something going on?
