SPOILER ALERT -- ADDICTION! WEIRD POSTCARD FROM FROM HELEEN DE VAAN (bedankt, Heleen)

It says: "The average person checks their phone 85 times a day. And you?"

Heleen reckons that this postcard is not just (or even not only) boring, but ugly - and I agree with her.

But it's interesting in it's own way -- a white, tattooed girl (I think) with  a . big brown non-humanoid ear. Does this represent the future of politically correct (boring) postcards?

Heleen wonders what we did 15 or so years ago when we didn't have smart phones?

(I'm not smart enough to have a so-called 'smart phone.', and I only look at my antique phone about 4 or 5 times a day.)

TWO FROM PETER WILSON -- THANKS PETER!

1. John J Donnelly Rocky River Nature Center, Cleveland Metroparks, North Olmstead, Ohio;

The Center is 'world-renowed for its ancient fossils'. And this is DUNK! -- 'the 360 million year-old Dunkeleosteus armored fossil fish unearthed in the Center's shale rock'.

Dunk like an occasional cup of coffee into which he duked his donuts...but that was at another place in Ohio where there is a Dunkin Donuts chain 360 million years later.

2. Pier W Cleveland's specialty seafood restaurant, Lakewoood, Ohio, USA

"You'll find more than you expected here. A stunning view of the lake and Clevland's skyline. Service so polished it's almost invisible. And a first-rate menu."

And a very ugly cantilevered restaurant building beneath a very ugly highrise. Maybe lots of architects go there for the view, the invisible service, and even the seafood.
