39 / m / 35,-80

I am now living in Charlotte, North Carolina (35,-80) where I am on an extended break from Geohashing due to an extremely busy period in my career. But I hope to get back to it sometime, it was a lot of fun. In particular I want to get graticules 34,-80 and 36,-81 unlocked finally.

I was born and raised in the far southern part of graticule 42,-87, and have lived in 40,-88, 22,114, 47,-122 (where I first discovered Geohashing and did most of my hashes), 40,-73 (where I did more of my hashes), and 39,-77 (very briefly), before coming here.
