Pike Creek Valley Rated "79th Best Place to Live"

OMG, the world must truly suck.

I've lived in PCV for 42 years. It's okay, but if there are only 78 places better than this, then I think I'll just slit my wrists now.

3. It was one of those idiotic magazine "studies"

...which I gather was weighted toward "proximity to golf courses" among other dumb stuff.

But.... c'mon... there aren't 79 places IN Delaware.

Funny story... I work with a lot of internet domain speculators, and I was at a conference a while back and chatting with some European folks who were extolling the market values of the German country-code top-level domain, .de (which is #2 behind .com in total registrations). I was kidding around with them and said, "Germany? I always thought that .de was for Delaware domain names." These guys didn't know that DE also stood for Delaware.

About 15 minutes later, one of them tracks me down in a hallway with a pen and a piece of paper and says, "What are the best postal codes in Delaware?"

So, sure enough....
