A jewel by any other name

offices. and

All, including La Jolla, are San Diego post offices. It has been 38 years since I worked at the main post office here in SD (college job in parcel post and international mail sorting), but North Park is 92104, Hillcrest is 92103, I forget Grantville (it may be 92116), 92115 is Rolando-College Area, 92105 is City Hights, I think Point Loma-Ocean Beach is 92107. Rancho Bernardo used to be 92128 I think. My memory is a poor thing. As for La Jolla having 5 codes, I imagine that UCSD may have one of them. Getting 5 codes in La Jolla would mean expanding what most people call La Jolla.

We have Paradise Hills and Logan Heights, but both are too poor to have a remember. Logan Heights shares 92101 with parts of downtown I think. Its been a long time.

Charlie, having fun

OB FOOD: I made this recently after an absence of a few years on my table. It was as good as I remembered it.

Reduce the heat, add the potatoes and simmer for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender. Check the seasonings. Serve warm garnished with parsley.
