Where are you from?

In Oriental, this question is asked frequently. In fact, in Oriental, strangers will walk right up to you and start a conversation, that often feels like someone is composing a dossier.  A friend said that his parent often used to answer the question with "I am here on a secret CIA mission."  That usually caused the inquisitor to move on rather quickly.

I supposed our lives are a little more complicated that most, but when someone starts with the "Where are you from line of questioning" and continues beyond polite conversation, it gets downright weird. 

Well, we sort of live in Denver, but Ken has been in Oriental at least as much as Denver for the past couple of years.  Gay, well she lives in Denver but has spent more time in other places (not Oriental) for the past several years. 

Sometimes the question gets asked "Where do you live?".  Then we get even more confused since we seem to go from place to place a lot.

But seriously, we are aliens from a distant galaxy sent here to infiltrate Oriental, NC.
