It only took a year for the postcard I sent my Mom from Antarctica to get to her. From the postmark, I’d say it was stuffed in the bottom of the outgoing mail slot and finally got deposited in February 2011… so maybe it only took a little over a month to get up from the bottom of the world.
And as long as we’re opening the ol’ mailbag, my brother sent me this birthday card way back on the day but I only just recently received it. It’s a charming card… puny and thereby infinitely funny. I don’t like my birthday but I did appreciate the card. Thanks, Steve!
