I should mention that I went with postcards from my hometown. I wasn’t sure if anyone would want postcards from Radiator Springs (Cars Land at Disneyland). ---

Mine are stamped, addressed and filled with the usual goofball writings. They will be stuck in the mailbox tomorrow morning when I go out to run errands. 🙂 ---

My cards will be going out tomorrow. They will come in a manila envelope. I bought lots of cool cards on my recent vacation, so each recipient will get four or five. Cool cards from Kansas. ---

So after a week that’s been kind of on the super end of crappy, I got an envelope in the mail today from **blondebear**! One postcard was an alien family on vacation in Roswell - I have this super odd fascination with Roswell, so I may have actually made a noise when I saw that one. Also inside was some kind of super-postcard from Hannibal, MO. That’s the boyhood home of Mark Twain, don’t ya know? (and if I hadn’t before, this would have informed me). Inside is the story of Hannibal, and among many other things, teaches us that “Hannibal’s interest in education is evidenced by the fact that modern schools are operated in every section of the city and in 1932 an new senior high school was erected”. There is also a fold-out set of pictures that show various sights around Hannibal. Very neat! Thanks, **blondebear!** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-summer-2014-postcard-exchange/693312.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-summer-2014-postcard-exchange/693312.md?page=5)
