Broadcasting live from New York,
the city that's so nice, they had to name it twice,
New York.
Childhood in Brooklyn, younger adulthood on Long Island, spending my later years in the land of the hurricanes!
Guernsey, Channel Islands, just north of France.
Born: Oxford, England
Live: Wichita, Kansas...No Dorothy jokes please.
Raleigh NC.....God's country.
"Where is everyone from? ... "
Hmmmmm .... Sorta reminds me of a joke. A five-year-old comes up to mommy and asks, "Mommy, where did I come from?" Mommy, taken aback some, but nonetheless impressed by and proud of her child's precocity, decides its time for "The Talk". Steeling herself for the ordeal, and wth all appropriate reverence and tasteful detail, she delivers a worthy exposition on the role of sex in relation to the miracle of life. The child follows along attentively, seeming to understand, but saying nothing. Wrapping up, mommy asks, "Now, do you have any questions about any of that?". The child says, "Well, that's pretty neat, I guess, but I still want to know where I came from. Billy says he's from Philadelphia, and Sally says she's from Los Angeles, and Tommy says he's from Atlanta. Where did I come from?"
Oh, and over there under my Avatar, my location is disclosed. To narrow it down some, its 45:40:36N, 42:06:38W, give or take a few seconds of arc.

Those are aeronautic Latitude/Longitude Coordinate notations. I drive an airplane from time to time, and its good to know where to point the puppy when you want to get home from wherever you happen to be when the mood strikes ... particularly when there are lotsa clouds between you and your desired landing spot. Its even handier to know when night time is tossed into the equation.
I don't usually name the city <ahem> but it's the island of Hawaii. Famous for its active volcano and next week the Kailua-Kona Ironman Triathlon.
I am amazed about the spectacular volcanos in the recent issue of National Geographic.
Besides my more broad information :wink: under my avatar, I'm -when online- sitting under
