Well, thank you and I appreciate your help.  I will remove the
address ;).

So, does google itself use a different method to geocode?  Because,
every one that I search for on their site is always right on the
money, but none of mine have been so far.  It just seems odd.

Anyway, I'm still open to opinions, though I do appreciate yours..

Regards,

Kevin Cornett
