I received an awesome postcard with photos of idyllic New Jersey scenes from Emily Litella, and an equally awesome postcard with an outhouse (“South Carolina’s Official Rest Stop”) from Labtrash. I’m 99.99% sure I received a postcard from someone else a few weeks ago, but I seem to have misplaced it now. So I think I got all three for this round. Thanks! ---

I got a lovely vintage-looking postcard from **faithfool** with a pic of the Mercantile Bank Building in Dallas. This time the post office even avoided obscuring the picture with stuck-on bits of paper! ---

I got postcard #3 today. Yay! Thanks **HowieReynolds**! And 2 of my cards are on their way to a couple of the people who are waiting patiently upthread. I mailed them last Saturday, so I would think they’d be there tomorrow or Monday at the latest. ::crosses fingers:: ---

The Stampede is a big deal here. We have a BBQ every year Stampede week, everyone invited type of thing. 40 or 50 people show up, beef on a bun and lots of beer. Great fun!
