Today's pageview zip code

Stilesville, IN  46180. (You'd think Julia Stiles would be too young for this town to be named after her. Yuk, yuk.) I've driven through the southern part of this zip code, though somehow I've neglected to mention my first passages through some of these Ohio and Indiana zip codes. The month my dad would die, we passed through by rail, headed west to visit his family in Kansas. We didn't come back that way as we'd planned, having to fly back due to his suicide. The following summer, after taking a southerly route to Kansas, down to northern Florida to visit family in Jacksonville Beach, then along the Gulf Coast to visit dad's family again, with a side vacation with my aunt, uncle, and cousins to and from the Lake of the Ozarks, we returned home more directly, by way of I70. That was my first time passing through the area in which I've lived for most of the last 30 years (though I still think of Maryland as my home). This was also the trip on which I first met the Michigan branch of his family (in the last paragraph) with whom I was reunited a few years ago (first 4 people listed numerically). And of course (if you've been following) I've ridden my bike through the northern portion of this zip code, along U.S. 40, which is still my most recent time through it.
