As of this post, 30 postcards have been accounted for! This represents 14 unique senders, and 17 unique recipients. If I could figure out how to embed a table, I would show you who has received what from who. I grid it all out. ---

Postcards sent! In defiance of the partial postal strike… who knows if and when they will get to their recipients. It might be like the time my mom went to Margarita Island and sent me a postcard back and she got home three months before the postcard did… ---

When I went on vacation, i bought a bunch of postcards then and if i go out of town or anyplace that sells postcards like the museum, i try to pick some up, so have many different cards. ---

I had 3 postcards left over from last time - just enough to get through this round. But I did see more at Borders, so I’ll picking some up tomorrow when I swing by there. I got a bonus postcard from **needscoffee** yesterday. Beautiful pic of Seattle! ---

I got mine from **Time Stranger** (at least that’s who I think it was from; your name was a bit obliterated - cool card! Mine are FINALLY acquired and going out at the last possible moment - sorry for the delay. ---

Well, Canada Post is totally locked out, so nothing’s going anywhere. Sorry about that. Your postcards are… somewhere. ☹ ---

I have still only gotten my two and am anxiously awaiting my third! Here’s hoping it’s not coming from Canuckistan…that would be really really silly, too, as Canada really isn’t far from me at all. ---

FINALLY sent my three this afternoon. Actually handed them to the clerk at the post office because I had to buy stamps. 2 of the 3 will get there by Saturday, I hope. 4th one is going…out of the country…but I’d think it could be there Monday or Tuesday. ---

So - last week, a postcard arrived from **Arrogance ex machina** , bravely slipping its way through the rotating postal strike here in Canada. Lovely shot of a fellow in a dory on a Finnish lake, looking at the sunset - thanks! I’ve put my three in the post box on a street corner, but no idea when anyone will be by to pick them up. Canada Post has responded to the rotating strikes by a cross-Canada lockout, which means that **ShelliBean, Anya marie & Tapioca dextrin** may be waiting a while … at least I won’t have **Elendil’s Heir** glaring at me with his gimlet eyes and tapping foot. ---
