Ok - sign up for round 2 is ended - i’ll be assembling the final list and working on the splits today. If you don’t have your postcards or postcard stamps yet - now would be a good time to get them 🙂 ---

\*\*Incref \*\*- you signed up but I don’t have your address, and I can’t send you PMs - please send it to me right away - if I don’t receive it by the end of today, I’ll have to drop you from this round. Also, if anyone else has received postcards, please be sure to post them! I’ve got a few people who signed up for round 2 - but no one has reported receiving round 1 cards from them. And I want to make sure only active participants are included. Thanks! (I realize round 2 still won’t be foolproof - but hopefully our success rate might be a little higher!) ---

**Ellen Cherry** - “Sa-wick-lee.” If you say it fast, it blurs together … that’s right! Rumor has it that the word means “sweetwater” in a native language. Hey! I just checked Wiki to see if I could verify that, and found that Sewickley has its own page! Cool. Looking forward to Round 2! ---

You’re all very welcome. Now if only I received another postcard, but alas, I’ve gotten nothing since **gardentraveler** ’s card came in the mail. Oh, the bitter-sweet sorrow of pining by the mailbox day in, day out…☹ ---

Got my final card from The Terrible Tako (I had one of his brethren for lunch, which is kinda fitting 🙂 ) The awesomeness of the card stunned me for a bit. There were geeky jokes an observatory, and to top it off, all written in the most beautiful script. Thanks Tako! (Loved the “not to scale”!!) ---

Yay! Got my first postcard in the mail today (? - just noticed it on the pile of mail on the table today anyways) from **Emily Litella**! I love seeing places of the world I haven’t been to! NYC qualifies! ---

I’m away from home until March 15, so I won’t be able to confirm anything before then. No cards had arrived as per last Saturday, though. ---

You’re far too kind with your compliments. I’m a fan of octopus myself (both for eating and observing), but I’m a female of the species. 🙂 ---
