Mine went into the mailbox about ten minutes ago. And about five minutes ago the mail carrier drove up the road and picked them up. ---

Another @Reeses_Monkey card recipient reporting in. I got a Amy Hwang (New Yorker) cartoon of an office worker discussing career aspirations with his cube mate. Thanks! ---

> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > I’ve seen the movie with Richard Gere and a documentary, so I know the story, but I don’t believe any of it 😉 I wouldn’t be so sure…I’m firmly convinced that Dr Herbert West was born in some holler deep in the Appalachians. The Appalachians were raised up before blood, there’s gotta be a lot of old magic back there. The US folks have more postcards to expect in the weeks to come, I just have to do more tourist stuff to get them. ---

A few cards have arrived! Two from @silenus , one with a Dork Tower comic panel showing Mud Bay, Wisconsin, and another showing a bizarre sea monkey with an orb apparently mind-controlling a pair of scientists - nothing odd going on there. One is from @romansperson apparently trying to sell me a house One from @Die_Capacitrix of the Brunswick Monument in Geneva, on which she claims Geneva has better pastries than my home town. Shots fired. And finally, a non-post card from @penultima_thule in Australia, showing a Kookaburra. The bird, not the cricket ball. ---

Bit under 48 hours to go on the original schedule for the 2026 PCE My second supplementary list was posted today. As it’s a long weekend on Monday here they won’t be going far for a while. I may have missed a notification but there would seem to be 7 sets still to go out. “Keep those cards and letters rolling in”. 🙃 ---

Two more from @romansperson, including one from her trip to Britain. Thanks! FYI: For those of you on my list, those bizarre cards are illustrations from pulp Sci-fi magazines back in the day. I’ve got a stack of them! ---

I also got a card from @Ulf_the_Unwashed in yesterday’s mail - a painting of the Mid-Hudson bridge, showing a beautiful summer day (or perhaps is that a bit of sunset showing on the bottoms of the clouds?) Thanks for the postcard! ---

@needscoffee and @Elendil_s_Heir - your postcards have been received! I have finished filling out my postcards and will head out shortly to mail them. I have lots of extras (I ordered a set of NC postcards) so if anyone else would like one - PM me your address and I will drop them on their way. The last few weeks have been filled with all my 6-mos remission checks (so far, mostly good news) and a few job interviews, and those have worn me out - sorry for the delay! ---

@liirogue sent me a striking graphic of the Skydance Bridge in Oklahoma City. Sorry your Thunder didn’t quite make it to the NBA Finals, but they’re still the current champs for about one more week! ---

Today in the mail I found a postcard from @Mollie_Magill that kinda hurt my heart. It was a beautiful picture of the White House as it was Before Trump. Visiting DC was on my bucket list and I was actually planning a trip last year, but it will probably never happen now. Thank you for sharing that memory with me Maus, I’m glad you were able to make it. ---

> [@pjd](#): > > Makes my cards look very boring.. ☹ I knew you had to be wrong but didn’t know how wrong you were! I received your packet today with the wonderful pictures of a statue and a tower. I still don’t understand bowling greens, but assume they must have been very popular back in the say. ---
