Sara said that this postcard came from SFO. As you can probably see, the texture of the card is devine.

Postcard from Shoshone Falls
Friend Tara writes that she and L spent a night in Boise (which she calls “your old stomping grounds”) and are enjoying Shoshone Falls.
She said that they were currently watching shirtless BASE jumpers “prepare for a death-defying act off the cliff.”
No report of what happened after that, so presumably death was defied.
Postcard from Oakland
Zoe sent me this postcard from Oakland, where she and Nick have recently moved. It’s not far from their place in Berkeley, but has a nicer landlord (and, according to her, a backyard with very aggressive squirrels).
She also included her return address on the card, but the post office barcode obliterated everything but the city and the zip code. I had to text her for the rest.
Postcard from the Fruit Loop
Laurie bought this postcard at Smiley’s Red Barn in Hood River when she did the Fruit Loop. She said there were a lot of peaches.
SKS: Protest Postcard
Sara writes that she and Shawn visited the Humboldt County Fair for the first time since 2019, and had a good time, though it was a hard shift from the Minnesota State Fair. I can attest to that being true, as I’ve been to both the HCF and the MSF.
I note that the copyright on this postcard is from 2017. I wonder what the genesis of this card was…. 😉
SKS: Seahorse Shutters from Bermuda
Sara sent this knowing that I was on vacation and asking for vacation details. This postcard came from her summer vacation in Bermuda.
SKS: The Road Less Traveled and Lemonade
I’m a fan of pants, but appreciate this message.
Sara comments that nude from the waist down seems odd to her, and I agree. But it made us both laugh.
This postcard comes from Whistle and Fizz in New York.
Sara reports that, back in Arcata, working with a friend made the work fun and that her first time with students is tomorrow.
SKS: Promo Postcard from Portland
Sara says this postcard came from a coffee shop she and Shawn visited while in Portland. She reports that she attended a welcoming gathering for two new faculty members and that the weather was perfection.
Postcard from London
Friend S. North sent me this 3D panoply from London. It didn’t photograph well, but it is very 3D in real life.
She reports that all the English dogs seem to be very well behaved and that she’s eaten a lot of sausage rolls. Sounds like a great trip!
SKS: Bananas For Me
On the back side, Sara includes a punny sticker “feline good” to round out this fun card. She hopes I’m “feline good” and reports that she’s back in Arcata and easing back into things.
