Postal History: set of four flowers, US postage, 18 cents, issued April 23, 1981. 1. Rose, 2.Camelia, 3.Dahlia, 4. Lily. Flowers...lots of flowers, on a grey rainy day in Greece! Thank you, Val! You do good with all those old stamps...now, what can you do for the hundreds of "windmills"-on-your-mind? coming soon ;-)

Apparently Univac and Watson have been exchanging mail art but it's pretty dull. Mostly ones and zeros. For myself I await the Great Power Outage and the return of the Pony Express and Correo de Brenda.

Mail people -- ie La Poste employees -- are a protected species here in France. They will never loose their jobs, although their civil service (and heavily unionised) positions may be redefined in various ways.

'Soon there will no longer be a need for letters, postcards and parcels' Haven't I heard that before somewhere?

It reminds me of the rubbish that the computer company came up with at the start of the internet. 'We'll soon have a paperless office and a paperless society'; And what happened, Well in that particular company paper consumption went up by at least 600%!

I'm all for protecting Post people. And white rhinos; And pandas. And honey bees. etc.

Bon weekend, mes amis!

I know! Robot with an attitude maybe? I've definately sent stranger things that arrived just fine through the mail. I hate to put it in an envelope. I might just try to resend it -darken the writing-and hope for the best

Strange, Diane...maybe the "machine" did not read "20015"??? But it is true, your "Love" tag arrived in Greece...and with a mistaken zip code even! It had 5249, whereas my code is 54249! Who knows what lurks in the US Post Office after dark :-0

not sure why this came back undeliverable as addressed when I know one made it to Greece!

That great RED Valentine from Jennie arrived today. Thank you so much! I loved the "vintage" postmen sticker stamps...I remember them as cut-out cards back in the..., well, never mind ;-) some time ago.

Torma: it must be Valentin and not Valentine (MH), 'cos the latter's beard isn't that long -- thank goodness -- and he is only 149 1/2 years old.

Regards. Valeninte (MH)
