Maps

It is a well-known psychological fact that people tend to think that those far away from them are close to each other. When I started sending a zine out around the world, I had to deal with a feeling that I had a number of readers on the same block (Australia), with a few over across town in New Zealand. Some people have political maps where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are neighbors.

24k is considered a small town? i grew up in a small town in new hampshire in northeast usa of about 1,400 people. now i live in a 'big' town of 15k. i realize it is 'relative',and i find that interesting.
