Thanks Laszlo, you've prevented another thread from being created:

‘Can you wear a Rolex watch in the vicinity of MS-13 members?’

I once made a joke over dinner about them while in a Salvadoran restaurant in MD outside D.C. and my father in law immediately told me to shut up

I had no idea they were in that area but apparently it’s flooded.

Anyways back to the card...

Good point my friend.

So the card should get to DM by this Saturday.

I think we're about half-way through now, yes?

PS, I noticed that Tim put on 2 Forever stamps to make certain it would not get returned to sender!

So I followed suit and added 2 Forever stamps.

Rick and I are counting the days to delivery... shall be interesting, since mail takes forever just to get out of my area, and then proceeding "over yonder and beyond"... Pony express may be faster, or having its own payload to hasten the trajectory...

Glad you posted!

At what point does the list end; it'd be nice if Padi56/Peter got it while he was still alive.

It's weird seeing that card get passed along. It was in my hands, in my home, eyes on it from my wife to son. Now seeing it making it way across the globe. Wow, very beautiful indeed.
