I can. Near where I am are three small cities. Are they geographically
distinct locations?
At my desk, I'm in Schenectady County. Looking out my window, I see a
river and the land beyond it in Saratoga County. Are these geographically
distinct locations?
I live in Saratoga County, up outside a fourth small city. Is it a
geographically distinct location?
One of the guys in the group here commutes in from Massachusetts. On
his way, he passes through a corner of Vermont. Are those two nearby
states geographically distinct locations?
Russ Nelson lives in the same state, different county farther away,
about 100 miles I think. Is he in a geographically distinct location?
