I just need to get stamps so I can mail out my postcards to replace those placeholder ones I sent. Although for all that, I was disappointed in the selection, so they won’t be what I was hoping for. ---

A card showing a school bus unloading small school buses arrived from phouka, with its message in German! Well done! I am wondering what happened to my cards - I put three cards in the mail on the same day, the one addressed to faithfool arrived more than a week ago, but I haven’t heard anything about the other two. Phouka, Algher, did I miss your feedback, or did my cards get lost on the way? ---

I had a lovely card from **jayrey** in Oregon. I was in the Pacific Northwest for three months, in 1977, while stationed at Ft. Lewis Washington. If I had to leave my home that’s where I’d head The card shows several lovely scenes from Oregon. I have two cards from **Lsura**. One is apicture of a huge dam on the Tennessee River, the Chickamauga Dam. That thing seems enormout, longer across than many others. The second card is a picture of CNN headquarters, and **Lsura** asks if I can see them waving! The last card is from **Cunctator** , and is an aerial view of Sydney. He says you just might see his house in the lower right corner! Thanks to all for the cards to add to my collection. ---

My house guests have gone home and I have a few minutes to post an update. I received a fun, glittery card from **silenus** on Monday. I like Las Vegas too! Yesterday, I got a sciencey post card that is 3D and awesome from **Norther Piper**. I have officially received all three cards. So far, only one of my sents has arrived. ---

I have commented before that I believe notice and service requirements, as well as filing deadlines, are _strictly_ enforced in **Elendil’s Heir** ’s courtroom. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-sdmb-spring-2014-postcard-exchange/686739.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-sdmb-spring-2014-postcard-exchange/686739.md?page=9)
