This returns the slice from character 85 to character 3 in the string, read 
forwards. Basically, as Python slices are forgiving (because the borders are 
actually "illogical"), this amounts to nothing, but could also amount 
to: "your indexing boundaries are invalid."

Basically, what you want is:

district_combo = line[85:88]

where 88 = 85 + 3 (3 being the length). Read up on Python slices...
