You should be home free on this one - it is either below the radar or above
the stinger missiles :-)   Now, as long as no one insists on a definition
of "location" - area, town, county, state, country, planet.... Is a label
valid if the location cited is not backed up by a definition of it?   Don't
no body go off the deep end.  I'm just being silly.
