EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK FROM HEIDE MONSTER
Thanks Heide for this Lost and Found Boring and Interesting Postcard
It got lost amongst the 600 Postcards I'm sorting out and writing about. But I found it!
Do you often loose things, Val?
Yes, all the time. I once lost my 6-year old sister on a beach in Italy. the police found her, she was safe, and returned to the hotel
Why is this an Interesting Postcard, Val?
Because it has a Real Rock'n'Roll US Post Office "Return to Sender" label on the back.
Dear Heide, My postcode is 11130, not 1130 -- just in case you send me something again. Regards, Val
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.
" BOR-riinnngggg Postcards"
"Dear Postcard"
another title suggestion:
"Wish You Were Here? : A Compendium of Boring Postcards"
Nothing like contributing to a brainstorming session:
Postcards Past Their Best By Date: A Collection
Commonplaceness and Uninterestingness: A Postcard Collection
Poetically Pointless Postcards

Never mind cars or actors, the original Chevy Chase is a ballad about a fourteenth century battle in the Cheviot Hills of northern England
VMH - A "Chevy Chase" is not an automobile, but rather, an action known as a police pursuit.
