Another professional slacker checking in. I already have hundreds of cards, so I will be selecting some extra special reserve cards to send out to make up for being so late. I will sign up for round two tomorrow after I drop the first ones at the Post Office. I received my first card today from The Blue Sighted Shadow. It was The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, somewhere that I actually have visited. Thanks aplenty! ---

I mailed my three cards on Monday the 14th, one was going to a notorious procrastinator in Canada. The other 2 are far far away, so if anyone is still waiting for a card, please have patience with me. I couldn’t find cards for New Jersey either so I went with a view from here. Please sign me up for round 2, I promise I’ll be faster next time. - Oh, and I haven’t receiced any cards yet. Should I start giving my mailman dirty looks? ---

Ha! When I got home from work I found a postcard from **Fish Cheer**. Your city looks beautiful, it looks like a wonderful place to live. I checked it out on Wikipedia and it’s got some great history. The map seemed familiar, then I realized you’re not far from where the Jomsvikings supposedly came from. ---

Since I mailed mine out a while ago, I wonder if my other two recipients have received theirs yet? ---

I got my first postcard today from **HowieReynolds**. It’s from the Austin Bat Colony by the Congress Avenue Bridge and has a picture of bats at sundown that would make Batman shiver in his undies. Thanks, **Howie**. ---

You are welcome Tako. I’ve gotten two of mine, from Algher and CherryBlossomGirl. Thanks to both of you. I’m in for round two as well. I like getting mail. ---

I got my first card from **Emily Litella** today with a great view of New York. It was quite interesting trying to explain to 'im indoors why someone was sending me a postcard from somewhere we visited last year! ---

> [@CherryBlossomGirl](#): > > Got my first postcard today. Thanks, **VunderBob**! Wow. That was a long haul, too. Sorry about the bad handwriting; now you know why I type. I got one today myself, but I admit that I can’t read the signature. The front was about Austin, TX ---

So I broke out my secret agent decoder ring, and figured out the Austin TX card came from **HowieReynolds**. What I really can’t read is **Howie’s** IRL name. :smack: My previous card was from **Elendil’s Heir** , a while ago. Two down, one to go… ---

Well I sent mine out today - I mistakenly bought a Canadian domestic stamp for one going to the US, so to make up for the difference I had to buy an additional 25 ct, 10 ct, 5 ct and 1ct. stamp. However that card is going out to: hope you like stamps! I got one card so far (thanks **Gardentraveler** so I don’t feel so bad about only sending them out today 😃 Anyway, I’d love to sign up for round II. Thanks, **melodyharmonius** , for organizing this! ---
