I had a good idea of where most where from working at UPS here in SLC, and working on the heavy loading trailers. I got to know area codes too (from doing dialup techsupport for MSN for 2 years )

Wow, that is cool! I never realized there were so many zipcodes that weren't taken. And look how rectilinear the dots are in the midwest. In one part of Kansas I explored, the numbers were assigned alphabetically to towns, within the district covered. That was odd. It makes a rough kind of sense but it's not consistent from state to state or region to region. What a strange system!
Does one zip code always equal one post office? Or is that only a rough rule too?

I always wondered why Montana zip codes start with 5 when the rest of the country seems to be more or less east to west. It looks like they lumped us in with Iowa & Wisconsin. Type in 8, though, and check out what a huge geographical area it covers!
