My cards are in the mail. And I received three cards over the last few days. A nice punny card from a German restaurant from **romansperson** , a card with interesting sights and facts about Maryland from **FairyChatMom** , and a 50s election ad featuring the well dressed politician and his family and dog from **Biotop**. Thanks, guys! ---

Got my last card today, from **txobbin** , from the world’s second greatest Paris, Paris, Texas, as she writes :), with sights like an Eiffel Tower with a red hat and Jesus with boots on on the front. I love receiving a card from Paris, Texas, because I like the film by Wim Wenders so much. Thanks, **txobbin**. ---

I am SO sorry for the delay! I finally posted my cards yesterday! And I got an envelope with three (!) cards yesterday from **Helena330**. 🙂 Thank you so very much! I especially like the one with the old train! I would love to ride a steamtrain like that! 🙂 ---

I got two postcards from **EinsteinsHund** either today or yesterday (I didn’t check my mail yesterday) that are respectively, the legs and stomach of what appears to be a brown animal with a long tail. Einstein’s hound, perhaps? I’m looking forward to when all is revealed. Thanks, **EinsteinsHund**! ---

Sorry, but I just dropped off postcard at the post office. Checking the mailbox, I have a card from Maus Magill, sent from Music City/Mordor! ---

Yesterday I got two postcards from **Baker** , showing different views of the Kansas Capitol dome - one from floor level, and the other from above that, showing the inner dome. Very cool. My FIL is particularly interested in state capitols, so I’ll be sure to show these to him. Thanks! All postcards should’ve gone in the mail two days ago. Please send yours ASAP, if you haven’t already. You know who you are! ---

I received 2 cards from Baker. One is of the state of Kansas, the American Bison. It’s so hard to imagine what their numbers and range used to be! The 2nd card is of the Kansas State Capitol with its copper dome, recently redone, topped with a statue of a Kaw Indian warrior. Many thanks, Baker!
