This guy said he was going to send me a postcard if I gave him my address. So I thickened my face and gave him my address, and this was what he sent me, together with a handwritten note:

The handwritten note says that he only realized it costs 50 cents to send a postcard AFTER he had bought a “whole stack” of 30 cents stamps. So he was trying to maximize his 2 x 30 cents postage cost by sending the postcard in an envelope PLUS a handwritten note *runs away*

*runs back, panting*

By the way, Merv, I know you ARE reading this.. Thank you very much for the card and the note, will keep them both in the safe :)

Another card that arrived on the same day was this Washington DC night view from Christina, showing the three main features of the Mall: (from left to right) The United States Capitol, Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial.
