Oct from Kate and Lynne - nickname for DM


Fall is a good time to bust out the kraft envelopes. There were 3 this month. I already posted Mary's. These are both scanner friendly - and I like the way Kate (above) abbreviated Des Moines to DM. I think that makes for a very tidy name and address. It reminds me of NOLA - New Orleans, LA - I wonder if I could be the originator of an official abbreviation for Des Moines - DMIA. 

OK - this is interesting. I Googled DMIA to see if it was already in use. There appears to be only one other entity using DMIA -- I don't want to type in their name because it is a marketing company with recommendations for consumers on what you need to know about the diamond market. There are probably many similar websites - so I don't want to look like I am promoting just them. 

I don't think DMIA will ever catch on for a nickname for our city. I guess we will have to stick with Duh Moines. But for addressing ease - DM  IA is just fine. 

I am very fond of the font that Lynne used. Note to self - dig it out and use it...
