Hmm … I could have sworn I wrote about this before, but since I can't find an entry about it, I guess not. Anyway … a few months ago I was playing around with zip codes, and I found out that the zip+4 code for Casa New Jersey only has one address—ours! Sure, it's meant for houses within a certain address range on our side of the street, but as far as I can tell, we're the only house within that range on our side of the street.
I made a comment about this to a few people (Hoade among them) and wanted to do an experiement where I addressed I postcard to:
Occupant > Florida, 33461-XXXX
And see if it gets to us.
Well, when I was in Las Vegas last week, I did just that.
I sent four postcards, addressed as:
So far, two have arrived, #3 and #4.
Sadly, the one mailed from Rachel came with a Las Vegas postmark (Rachel doesn't have a postoffice, unless you count a blue US (United States) Postal Service mailbox a “postoffice”). And the one mailed from Las Vegas came with two postmarks—one from Las Vegas on the 18^th, and one from West Palm Beach on the 23^rd.
We are still expecting two more.
