Mail Call: Banana Slugs, Queen Elizabeth and Texaco Dealers in all 48 States

From Dad - London

I’ve kind of been slacking off in the deltiology department, so this edition of Mail Call is a little smaller than previous ones (here, here and here). I got a pretty good “shipment” in from London/Nairobi, so now seemed like a good time to update.

From Kirsti - Finland (Who knows how it got torn in half.)

The reverse of Kirsti's card above. It just barely had enough of the address to get here. Of course, my goal is to "train" the local letter carriers to simply put all postcards in my mailbox by default, even without and an address. I achieved a major milestone a few weeks ago when my sister's mailman delivered her a postcard actually addressed to a neighbor. He's so used to me sending her postcards, he didn't even look!

From "Bellatrix" - Hong Kong (This one is so cool, I wanted to share what Bellatrix (LeStrange?) wrote: "... This is a photo of the 'Wishing Tree.' People write their wishes on a paper, and tie the paper with a rope and then throw them to the tree. If they hang on the tree, that means the wishes will come true. Unfortunately, the tree is strained from years of use, so the government has forbidden anyone from doing that again. They made a new plastic one to replace it.")
