Thanks Jerr.

Makes sense. Don't know if I would want to live in Midwest or Alaska though. I'm pretty happy with my little valley in the mountains of western New York.

We are in a little triangle of forgotten terratory. My house used to be a hotel and post office from 1821-1893. Originally built on a Holland Land Company lot, we still have the same boundries.

Somehow after the Buck Act in '44 and the Zip Code assignments our land got stuck between the lines in a sort of "no mans land". As a result we don't show up on mapping software or GPS's either. Because there are no commercial businesses here.. only farms.. no one has ever corrected the oversight. (thank goodness)

Fortunately our rural mail carrier knows the community (only 12 buildings) so we never have a problem receiving our mail .. with no zip code. Even my state issued driver's license has no zip code on it.
