I can neither confirm nor deny that any cards have been sent and/or received. Maybe, if the rednecks didn’t hijack the mail truck. ---

Oops, sorry but I forgot to send **Elendil’s Heir** my home address. I am willing to exchange cards with the first three dopers who PM me their address. Question: If I am sending a card outside the USA can I just put 3 “Forever” stamps on the card? Yes I know I would be overpaying the postage but it would save me a trip to the post office. ---

International postage is $1.20, so two postcard stamps and one forever stamp would cover it for 40¢ less than three forever stamps. ---

**blondebear** sent me a couple of neat retro cards: one of Marineland of the Pacific, which I remember from my youth, and one of a lobby card for “El Vampiro Atomico.” Tres kewl! Thanks! ---

I’d gotten three cards from **romansperson** yesterday. My sister agrees that the Guglhupf is a worthy stop in Durham. ---

I got a funny card from **Reality Chuck** today. I’ll hold off on describing it in case he sent the same card to others. I needed a laugh today. Thanks! ---

> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I’d gotten three cards from **romansperson** yesterday. My sister agrees that the Guglhupf is a worthy stop in Durham. No one has ever gotten all 3 cards on the same day! A first for 3. And in response, I got 2 from **Maus** today. I had no idea there was a 2nd Parthenon in Nashville. My mother’s namesake (wife of the 7th Earl of Elgin) was involved in the removal of the famous marbles from the original one. ---

Got a kouple kaiju kards (Godzilla 2000 and Rodan) from **silenus**. Rodan is my favorite of the original Toho/Honda movies. Also, a card from **Elendil’s Heir** –from Cleveland’s Museum of Contemporary Art, a pic of artist Do Ho Suh’s translucent upside down staircase. Thanks, guys! ---
