I will be buying cards either next week, or the week that ends June 12th. They will get sent out before the deadline. However, based on recent experience, it seems that mail between Switzerland and the U.S. is taking longer than usual. So I will be patient. And apologies in advance for those who will have to wait a bit longer. ---

Mine are in the mail. Two of the addresses I got are US, one is UK, so I expect the USians will get theirs in 2-3 days; UKian will probably get theirs end of this week or early next. ---

I already got some postcardy goodness today, all the way from California! 😃 Is this the first one? I forgot to say - mine are ready to go and I’ll mail them today or tomorrow. One is going out of the country so I don’t know how long that will take. ---

I have put my supplemental group postcards in the mail. I had to buy more international stamps. Is it just me, or on first glance do the new international stamps look like a giant coronavirus? ---

Hooray, just received my first postcard, from **dbygawdcapn**! It’s a picture of a work of art from the Glenstone Museum in MD, a museum I’d love to visit. The [artwork](https://www.glenstone.org/art/exhibition/charles-ray/) in the picture is fascinating, and I’m certain it would be quite mesmerizing in person. Many thanks! ---
