Of course I technically could say I moved "down" here, as the parts Massachusetts (home state) and West Virgina (last state) I lived in are higher in elevation than The Space Coast.

Heh, well I'm one of those common-fools who always says "down to" no matter where said location is relevant to mine. You'd think the annoyance of constantly being corrected would get me to change that tendency, but somehow the word "down" lost it's orientation-meaning and gained a fictious "means somewhere other than here" meaning. I never actually mean down OR south when I say it, just tack it on for no good reason at all.
