    It guessed Seattle and Spokane for me, so it definitely got the right state.
    Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

        I took this and it was right. It pegged me as Milwaukee/Madison/Minneapolis.

          It got the right coastline.
          Hmm, yah that's all I'm gonna say.
          life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

          Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

          "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

          John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

          "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

            It said mine was because of the word freeway. And I have no idea what you call that road that goes along the freeway.

              Was way off on mine. It guessed Phoenix, Tuscon and Louisville, for me. Never been to Tuscon or Louisville and I've only stayed in Phoenix for one weekend in my early-mid 20s (can't remember the exact year).

                It's totally a frontage road.

                    I thought access or service road. Only because I think of Service Rd in Las Vegas: Aka the road I take to get through traffic since I've been there enough times!

                      It nailed me... it guessed Lubbock/Amarillo, and I grew up about halfway between those two cities... then lived in Lubbock for about 10 years after I graduated from high school.
