Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
No to nit picks, but do zip codes share the same boundaries as municipalities?
ROTFL... Zip codes, municipalities, voting districts {we have many: State, ergo US Senate, US House, State House, County, City, precinct, school district, special assessment area, etc etc.}, telephone serving offices and geography ALL have unique boundaries. Sometime they share the same one -- CO boundaries and others usually follow say the Mississippi river, for example, but WAIT! The VM-MD boundary is high-water mark on the VA side. That island under 66? It has a foot bridge to VA but is in not part of same. And there are unique voting areas consisting of one house. (As I recall the story, it's in Hooterville for ALL except the school district, where it's in Podunk, since there is no road the school bus can take there...except through Podunk.) And let's not forget Point Roberts, WA. Oh, don't forget 'special' zip codes such as 44181 and my favorite for survey-takers -- 20505. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz () nrk com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
