			:::::Well, I've learned from sad experience that there's no point in beating a dead horse. Maybe I have a broader definition of "home", but that's fine. I do agree that there are certain characters that we can't be sure of (like [[Eden's driver]]) - but I think, in general, it's okay to call a city "home" if you work there.

	:::If somebody works in a particular city, I think it's pretty safe to assume that they're not living ''too'' far away. Midland/Odessa is a great example - they're basically the same area. And then we have about 4 or 5 different locations grouped into [[Las Vegas, NV]] - there's Vegas, Primm, Lake Mead, the desert, and possibly Carson City. With the exception of Carson City, the others are all ''pretty'' close to Vegas. I think it's okay to name one's "home" by the closest major city, though they might actually live at a different address. (When I lived in Maryland, for example, it was easier to just say "I live in D.C.") Waiting until exact cities are named would also cause a problem for our places - for instance (and I might be wrong with my example), are we completely sure that Primatech is in Odessa? It could be a differnt city. But it's close enough that I think it's fine. <p> That said, if there are any specific people whose homes should be questioned, let's talk about them.
