TWO BLUE ONES FROM KATERINA

1. Avila Beach California

"Year-round seacoast playground, yacht harbour, ideal sailing and water skiing, deep sea and pier fishing. California's Safest Beach"

You can't see much, if any of the beach! None of the boats have any people on them. No wonder it's safe;

2.Nikiti, Halkidiki, Greece

Another empty boat

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: "POSTCARDS FROM THE PAST", by Tom Jackson

Our Group focusses on the front of Boring Postcards. In his book "Postcards from the Past", Tom Jackson looks at both the front of Postcards (many of which are Boring), and the messages on the back -- many of which are hilarious. The latter, he says, are "part of a ghost story, odd messages from the past breaking through to speak to us years later."

Here are some of Jackson's Boring Postcards and Ghosts:

THIS IS A SPECIAL BORING POSTCARD!!

It is the 100th Boring Postcard received from Mikel Untzilla, to whom I owe a 100 thanks.

It's an old postcard from the Soviet Union. I can't make out what it says.

Altogether I reckon that there are about 720 Boring Postcards here.

Mikel has sent me the most, followed by Mim with 93 (and soon to join the 100 Club) and Katerina with 65.

Thanks to one and all....and keep sending me them, please!

Wieruszów - town in central part of Poland. Postcard from around 1975. Captivating is the airplane - cafe. The plane was brought in 1968 to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the city. The Lisunov Li-2P passenger plane, serial number 234 448 04, is a Soviet license Douglas DC3. The machine was removed from the LOT fleet list on November 4, 1968. Inside the plane there was a cafeteria of GS, which made the "non-light" one of the main tourist attractions of the city, and what's more, its business card. The café no longer exists.
