I freaking finally mailed mine off today - I know i said I would do it many days ago, but apparently my life conspired to make me a liar. That, and i couldn’t find the postcards I had! I have gotten all \*four \* - I got two from Algher! One work view and one home view. Very cool, thank you! ---

OK, so I couldn’t find any postcards that I like. Instead I printed up some of my own. They’re not glossy and pretty, but they _are_ photos of my own shooting! I’ve also received all three of my postcards and will describe them to you all once I’ve got mine dropped in the mailbox this evening. ---

All three of my cards seem to have been received. And I’m actually enjoying the winter theme at the moment, in New York, awaiting the arrival of snow. Hooray! I know that the locals are sick of snow, but I can’t wait. ---

Good news! Canada Post is still in the delivery business. I got an envelope from **Baker** today! A fun picture of her dog with a great name. I will put it on my fridge next to the other puppy pictures I have. People give me pictures of their dogs. The cards featuring Kansas will go in with my collection after a stint on the mantle. Good times. Thank you 🙂 ---

I’ve received a postcard from someone - was in a rush, took on the mail, noticed a card, and then went out right away on an errand. Will report on who sent it later , when I get home again. ---

I got my second card(s), from **mortal wombat**. One features the Welsh National Anthem, one is a watercolor of a market in Wales, and one is a cartoon of a rabbit sawing at a rope. If he succeeds the two trees he’s tied to will…well, why spoil the surprise? Thanks! I really enjoy them. ---

Glad you like 'em Baker. I’m glad they got to you okay 🙂 Tbh, I had visions of the mailman just taking them home and putting them up on his “Wall of stolen mail” 😛 ---

> [@mortal\_wombat](#): > > Glad you like 'em Baker. I’m glad they got to you okay 🙂 Tbh, I had visions of the mailman just taking them home and putting them up on his “Wall of stolen mail” 😛 I googled “bunny suicides” and found a website with other pictures similar to the one postcard you sent. I liked the one with the corkscrew. ---

Aha! Yesterday’s card came from **Silenus** : a heap o’poker chips, from Las Vegas, which **Silenus** claims is the happiest place on Earth. I have to respectfully disagree: as any follower of the wisdom of Krusty the Clown knows, the happiest place on Earth is Tijuana. 🙂 ---

Just got my third card, from **raventhief** , showing a field of clover in Colonial Williamsburg. Thanks! I have indeed been there, and enjoyed it (although it was brutally hot that day). ---
