Who Knew?



Okay seriously... who knew about this already?! :-)

Here is my interesting fact about zip codes across the U.S. that I realized yesterday... while thinking about where all we have lived... so far!

Burien, Washington (state) 98166
(Nolan's home town)

College Station, Texas 77840
(where we attend TAMU)

Pensacola, Florida 32508
(where we live now for flight training)

Stafford, Virginia 22554
(where we lived for 8 months for The Basic School)

Notice how as you travel from West to East... the first number in the zip code decreases...

To test my theory I looked up a few others...

Salt Lake City, Utah 84101
(between WA and TX and it does start with an 8)

Branson, Missouri 65615
(between TX and FL..)

So really, who knew?

And if you did... how did you discover this? :-) Yay for random thoughts!

You got too much time on your hands, Snookums! (Which I seriously doubt) Some other interesting traveling trivia is that north/south freeways are odd numbers and east/west freeways are even. This will give you something to do as you drive back and forth to Florida instead of slug bug.
