I like postcards - especially from foreign countries (like California or Alaska, for example).

 

[Evo]

Maybe you could take a picture of it?

I'll do that tonight when I get home.

 

[OmCheeto]

Out of curiosity I have entered all addresses that you have sent me into Google Earth. Wow. It works. You can even tell who has a black car

I have a quantum car according to Google Earth

It is both at work, and at the boat launch. But not at home. hmmm... can particles go through 3 slits at once? Ooops! Off topic.

Being a philatelist, I would greatly appreciate exchanging post cards with the international PF community.

Borek, you are first on my list.

And what a great way to properly stalk my local PF'ers(instead of endlessly driving around their neighborhoods): lisab, Ivan & Tsu, Integral, et al.

I can see Russia from my house!
If I use Google Earth.

Cool - I need a quantum car!

I guess they only update images a few times a year. I've been looking at Galveston and it seems to be all pre-hurricane images.

 

[Borek]

I guess they only update images a few times a year.

Depends on place, but in general few times a year is a very high frequency.

 

[Evo]

Some places get updated more frequently than others. The view of where I live is about 2 years old, but a friend in DC was under a year.

 

[Evo]

MIH, here is your card, it's the best shot I could get of it. Now the surprise is gone.

The message inside says "May cosmic bliss come down and scratch you on the belly" Happy Birthday

 

[Math Is Hard]

oh, Evo! That is so sweet! Is that a Beagle? I love Beagles!
Thank you. This makes my crummy day into a good one :)

 

[Evo]

Yes, it's a beagle. I'm glad you like it. I guess it will still be a surprise if you get it. Oh, and Dr Foofer just signed it. Your card now has claw marks on it. I should put it back before he hacks up a furball on it.

Speaking of postcards... I came across this website/blog and I am fascinated with it:
http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people
mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.

for instance:

I bought MIH a really adorable birthday card a couple of years ago. It's sitting on the table in the hallway. I see it almost every day and it makes me think of her. She'd love it.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does things like this. Yet another PF support group forms. I have CDs with the photos from my nephew's 3rd birthday party that were supposed to be sent to my sister and mom. They're still on my desk and my nephew is now 5. I just found Christmas cards from last year that I meant to send to a couple of friends. They weren't just regular Christmas cards either, they were fancy ones that happened to remind me of them, so they're special, but needed extra postage and I didn't know how much. I guess I can still send them this year. Oh, and there's the present stored with my Christmas stuff that was supposed to be sent to my mom, oh, probably 3 years ago or so. It's clothing and she's not the same size anymore, so no point sending it now. I guess I should just give it to Good Will or something, but again, that would require making a trip to their thrift store and remembering to bring the clothes when I do it. I desperately need a personal assistant to run errands to the post office for me.

for instance:

One of my students is still a bit ticked off that I busted him on his flirting in class. Actually, I thought it was WAY too obvious to be real flirting and thought he was just goofing around, but by the shades of red he turned when I told him he would get more work done if he wasn't spending the lab period flirting, I think it really was flirting.

OUCH!

 

[Evo]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one!

Oh, I just remembered we had a US Post Office at work. I hope it's a real staffed one and not self service. I will have to try to find it tomorrow. Oh and we have an employee store somewhere, maybe they sell postcards and there is a custom graphics store. I need to get my little map out and look for these places.

 

[Borek]

OK, bought postcards today

 

[wolram]

I decided i am crap with photography, so i will send a plain one with some added interest.

Draw me a doggie on mine.

Too bad Zooby is not playing. He has made some lovely postcards out of his abstract colored pencil drawings.

 

[Evo]

That's beautiful. He made some really great drawings.

I'm wary of giving out me address.

 

[Math Is Hard]

I'm wary of giving out me address.

1) Talk like a pirate day is over.

2) I agree. I'm only going to exchange cards with people I know pretty well here and have known for a while.

 

[wolram]

Yep watch out guys i am coming pillaging, i can not promise the other.

 

[wolram]

I sent my cards today Monday.

 

[Andre]

Your card is in, MiH. Nice beach.

 

[Evo]

Yep watch out guys i am coming pillaging, i can not promise the other.

I will gladly be pillaged by Wolram. I am going to attempt to find a store on campus today that sells postcards.

 

[Math Is Hard]

I am glad you liked it! I look forward to checking my mail this evening. Maybe your card will have arrived.

Today I sent two more postcards out to U.S. PFers.

 

[wolram]

Yay i have my one from MIH thank you, i am not sure why every one is looking at that wedge thing and the big oil drum though.

Poor MIH. Dejectedly checking her empty mailbox, wondering where her postcards are.

Do they deliver mail on Columbus Day where you live? (This has to be the stupidest holiday of the year. I broke out laughing the first time I worked somewhere that gave me Columbus Day off.)

We celebrate Columbus Day, but not Constitution Day.

Arrrggg the pirate comes out of me sometimes

How long is, "awhile" ?

Yep watch out guys i am coming pillaging, i can not promise the other.

Don't you have enough coins, wolram??

 

[Evo]

I actually went to the card store and the post office and neither had post cards.

 

[Borek]

I told you it can be difficult.

 

[OmCheeto]

I told you it can be difficult.

Lisab should have her card by now.

And Wollie should have his by this Friday or Monday(I sent it today).

Borek? Where is my card?...
