I had meant to send out a letter today, but I didn’t have time to finish it.  Thus, a postcard!

This is a postcrossing postcard to Fresno, CA.  Not very far away.  The recipient had a list of preferred postcards but most had to do with the geography of the area I live or the culture of the region, etc.  Well, we both live in California.  I’m pretty sure she already knows all about it.  But her list also included requests for “athletic, good looking guys” and “pinup girls.”  I think this postcard qualifies, yes?  Superman is definitely athletic.  I suppose he is good looking.  He was designed to be that way, anyway.  Supergirl could be a pinup girl, I guess.  Normally pinups are quite glamorous, but Supergirl is having some definite problems in this one.  Oh well.

Did you forget that yesterday was a holiday?  I did.  I had to take my mail in for the night and put it out again this morning.

Postcard!  And a couple of bills.

A postcrossing postcard again, this time to China.  The recipient requested a postcard of something that was related to US culture and I thought maybe he’d like something regarding the Justice League.  That has a lot to do with US culture right?  Incidentally, I think his address was the longest address I’ve ever had to write on a postcard.  The entire right side of the postcard, excepting the stamps, is taken up by his address.

An anecdote about my bills: I’m pretty sure I have brain problems.  I managed to stuff the envelope with the payment stub backwards, seal the envelope, and stamp it all without noticing that the payment stub was backwards.  I didn’t notice until I put it in my outgoing pile of mail and noticed that I saw the amount enclosed staring at me though the address window.  Doh.

I had to gently pry apart the envelope and flip the stub around so the address would show through the window and then glue the envelope back together.  I would have just used a new envelope except that I had already stamped the original one.  After gluing the flap down, the envelope looked pretty sickly, so I stuck a big piece of packaging tape over the flap.  Normal people don’t have to do these things, right?
