Well, my local network used to be 192.168.1.* until a client
wanted me to be on their VPN which also had that address, so
I changed mine to 192.168.8.* and it's been that way ever
since.  Why 8?  Because it's fastest to type when the
previously typed digit was 8.

By that reasoning, I guess my gateway box (which is also my
nameserver, web server, mail server, NTP server, etc.)
should be 192.168.8.8, but it's 192.168.8.1.
