Are you going to give them your zip code? at 10,000 Monkeys and a Camera

And here I thought it was a harmless thing to share my zip code with the cashier. Whoops. Yeah, don’t.

Much better to give them a decoy. I liked the suggestion that I use 20500 when asked for my zip code (that’s the White House), but I’d rather use something closer to home. Zips around here start with 37—, so I decided to go with 37140, which is the zip code for Bucksnort, which has to be one of the coolest places in Tennessee.

While looking around for my new zip code, I ran across a few interesting links… US Zip Code Scribble Map… Fun With Zip Codes… Zip Skinny… Ben Fry’s Zip Code Map… Zip Maps…

Happy Saturday!

About

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). We have one kid (that we know of) -- a daughter, Emmie, who plays a supporting role on the blog. She's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant, arugula-eating, progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...
