Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on November 3, 2020 at 4:18am: Thanks everyone!

Nancy: I have a chapter called "Wish yiu were here -- Not." It includes Boring Postcards including a young offender's prison, someone being treated in a hospital, a hospital ward, an island on fire, etc. I was considering using "Wish..." as the title, but with the word "Not". I like your subtitle too.

No decision yet.

"Wish You Were Here? : A Compendium of Boring Postcards"

Comment by John Gayer on November 2, 2020 at 8:28am: Nothing like contributing to a brainstorming session:

Postcards Past Their Best By Date: A Collection

Commonplaceness and Uninterestingness: A Postcard Collection

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on October 28, 2020 at 8:29pm: We live and learn, Alan. The Hills are about 80 miles from where I was born and bred

Comment by Alan Brignull on October 28, 2020 at 11:05am: Never mind cars or actors, the original Chevy Chase is a ballad about a fourteenth century battle in the Cheviot Hills of northern England

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on October 28, 2020 at 10:54am: Chevy chasing to "Lewis and Clark" info for Valentine...

(or "Clark and Lewis"? naw)

Google up Lewis and Clark Expedition, during the time of Thomas Jefferson?

And 'would like to know what "wheels" has Brad :-)

Comment by Bradford on October 27, 2020 at 4:03pm: VMH - A "Chevy Chase" is not an automobile, but rather, an action known as a police pursuit.

Comment by John Gayer on October 27, 2020 at 11:23am: Having drifted in and out of the Washington DC, I recognised The National Museum building. It is now part of the Smithsonian Institution and called the Arts and Industries Building. Regarding Chevy Chase, there are 3 that I know of. One in DC, another just across the district/state line in Maryland, and the American comedian/actor, who's real name is Cornelius Crane Chase. Could there be others?
