Hooray! I received a cool looking Palm Desert postcard from our illustrious Algher. We lived in SoCal for a couple years, and I loved the desert. Second was an amazing cool postcard from a classic car exhibit. The picture was an Art Deco roadster. I adore cars like that. Thank you romansperson! Mine official went out today. ---

Cape Cod is in the (Algher) House! Lovely card from **davida03801** hit my mailbox today showing it from above, and a mini-map on the back. Never been, need to go. Note - traveling through the rest of this week, so won’t be able to check mail until then. ---

I too got an Algher card, though I need an explanation about where it came from - a work conference, perhaps?? Thanks!
