    if @zip_code == "94301"
      return true
    else
      return [false, "You're in the wrong zip code"]
    end
  end

  # A call to valid? will return false and
  # populate the object's errors with "You're in the
  # wrong zip code" unless zip_code == "94301"

  # You can also specify field:

  validates_with_method :zip_code, :in_the_right_location?

  # it will add returned error message to :zip_code field
