I dunno. I guess it depends on where you have relatives and how
well-traveled in the US you are. I have family in both South Carolina
and Texas -- and I am in Washington (state) -- so I don't feel that
either Texas OR SOuth Carolina is unbearably far away. OTOH, Maryland
and Washington DC feel like they don't belong to the same nation that
I do sometimes. (and sometimes I wish that what I felt was really
true.)
