my postcards were finally officially mailed yesterday. That would have been really bad if I didn’t meet my own deadline! ---

I came home today to the first of my two cards! One is from **Bobbio** ; how did you know I have a fondness for the Harrier? What a neat plane it is. I know it can’t really hover like they show it in the movies, but a vertical takeoff is really freakin cool nonetheless. I see the one you sent me is actually the AV-8 Harrier, which I guess is a redesigned model. Very neat! And I also got **needscoffee** ’s card, which made me laugh. I hope she doesn’t mind me quoting the relevant line: (From Seattle) “I was going to write that it’s a beautiful sunny day but I took too long to make a cup of coffee and now it’s about to rain.” That totally made my day, and then the signature ( **needscoffee** ) was of course even more apropos. melodyharmonius, it wouldn’t have been bad, we would have just mocked you **ceaselessly**. 🙂 ---

**Silenus** is my first received card. Yay! My only time in Lost Wages was a layover in the airport many years ago. **’Mika** , I’m glad you liked the card. Any girl that likes Harriers is cool… 😉 ---

Got my first postcard today; nice Wisconsin lake picture from **Francis Castle**. Went on a field trip to Dayton today and figured I could pick up some postcards. None of the 4 retail establishments we visited had postcards. Boooooooo. So I’ll be going out tomorrow to get and send cards. ---

Received card #2 from our fearless leader, **MelodyHarmonius** , with a picture of Charlotte, NC on it. You trying to make me homesick for Cottonfield County? It worked… 😛 ---

Received card #2 today from **anya marie**. Seems like Indiana is pretty similar to Wisconsin. Oh look, more farm fields! 😉 ---

I got a very cute cow postcard today from \*\*FrancesCastle \*\*of a region I’ve been to (in general), and a cool historic postcard from **anya marie** of a place I’d like to visit (my second one from her - we’re practically old pals now!). I also got a third scenic postcard which says “Smile!” on the front, which, alas, turned out to be a reminder from my dentist’s office. ---
