OK - this is REALLY embarrassing. Did **Iggy** from the Grand Cayman’s participate this round? I just found a card from Iggy in my tax records (yes, filed an extension, still haven’t paid for 2011). I can’t tell when I got this. But it is a really nice card! ---

So, am I the only one who still hasn’t received a card yet? There’s a well known Australian phrase “the tyranny of distance” that springs to mind. ---

> [@raventhief](#): > > I got one from Algher, a black and white pic of a lovely oldtimey Soda Fountain & Drug Store in Orange CA! With an Aloha stamp!

I assumed it was a standard postcard rate - I hope my others make it (I found a stack of them and sent them out). ---

I received a card from **Atomic Mama** that made me want to go visit Maine - blueberries! - and also a bonus card from **Algher** (with a crossed out postage due stamp, oddly). Thanks to both of you! ---
