Cat Mail from Deadwood City

Meow! Brad Bradford sends his cat's paws!

BLUE Point Siamese cat it is :-)

with a "not coronavirus" USPS postage stamp,

(...but it was issued in 2020, you see! ;-)

Thank you Brad!

Buying USPS postage online yesterday I noticed that their Lunar Year Tiger stamp looks rather coronavirusy. Yes, a tiger! Scary. I couldn't buy it. Where will it end. And this is Bradford's fault.

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Maybe Brad is trying to tell us to "paws"? :-)

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Well it's clear why you'd think so (and the postman). SOME days EVERYthing looks like it + makes my skin crawl. Those styrofoam balls we poked with decorations for Christmas in kindergarten could've been forerunners. Brad's cat paws are a nice antidote, by the way.

I know, I know now...it is a red chrysanthemum flower...

(or is it ??? should it not be mellow yellow?))

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Well when USPS issued these "flower" stamps, it was just the start of the pandemic in 2020,

and I first saw it as the Covid bug! My Greek postman also had asked if it was the "virus"! :-0

His "this is not coronavirus" by the stamp is hilarious.
