I have my postcards and am looking forward to going to the local post office for one out-of-country post card stamp. Nobody there knew how to do it last time I was there, I thought it was pretty entertaining. (I’m retired and we live out in the sticks. I’ve gotta take my entertainment where I can get it.) ---

Time’s up, and PMs have now been sent. Thanks, everyone, and my particular thanks to **Karen\_Lingel** , who offered to send extra cards since we’re one person shy of an even twenty. Enjoy, all! ---

In the post a couple of hours ago, headed North, farther North, and definitely not North at all. ---

Excellent. Forgot to mention, we had enough non-U.S. Dopers that every group has at least one. I also put our two Swiss Dopers in the same group, to save them both a little postage. 😉 ---

Three postcards are leaving PA this morning. Two are winging their way west, one goes east across the broad Atlantic. ---

I put my US-bound postcards in the mail last night. I intended to buy international postage today during lunch break, when WHAM: lunch meeting. Boooo! (And I had to eat a cheese snack for lunch.) I have high hopes for tomorrow’s lunch break. But some of my domestic postcards may arrive tomorrow, and I don’t want those people to be confused. (Although I get the feeling most Dopers are brighter than the people who call lunch meetings at the last minute!)
