To be more specific, the last time I checked, my IP address is 
registered to a location over 1000 miles away.  And it's not a dedicated 
IP address, so it could very well be used tomorrow by someone 200 nmiles 
the other side of the registered location.

Further, I sometimes use other ISP's with different addresses, even when 
I don't leave the house.  And once I leave, anything's possible.

The only things that travel with me and my machine are the cookies.  So 
if someone has asked me my location, and if I told the truth, then that 
information could remain available till I flush my cookies or change 
Virtual Machines or even browsers.
