There are other privacy issues, not the least of which is phishing.

Kirkland Lake, ON, then Peru SA, then British Columbia, then...oh, too many places that I have been "from". If I were a Newf, I'd say where I've been to.

These days, Vancouver Island, a ferry ride and a 50 minute drive north from the City of Vancouver, BC. Dark, wet, and howling for much of the past week. Not like the Gulf states, but we routinely get 60+ mph winds coming off the chop not 100' from my seaward door.

Bedford, Massachusetts, 01730. We're the little town between Lexington and Concord, where the Minutemen with names we remember went to get enough musket-toting drunks to start the Revolution. More than 2 centuries later, and some of us are still revolting.

We had a very early narrow-gauge railroad up to nearby Billerica, and later a full commuter rail line running Budd cars. Now, they've all gone back to bike trails, although one of the old Budds is being restored as a park/museum attraction. My LHS is Maine Trains in Chelmsford, one town to the north beyond Billerica.
