Tried it three times but just gives me the bottom half of the US for a map with no cities. I have moved around a lot though and have a tendency to use the words common to the area I am in at the time.

Eight or nine years in Milwaukee to Reno for about fifteen with stop overs in Utah, Colorado, and Arizona. (BYU to the University of Denver to Scottsdale) Then to California with stop overs of length in Minnesota and Illinois (JD at the University of MN to helping family near Chicago). Then to Florida in 1996 or so and have been here since moving to the Villages from Palm Harbor (near Clearwater) since 2005.
