I'm just too tired to post anything more today, mostly because I am working on tomorrow's post, which has sucked me under like quicksand. Check back in tomorrow for an interesting story.
Nice postcard. The humour almost passed me until I realised that in the US you spell tyre with an "i" instead of a "y" ... and then I found a whole wikipedia page devoted to english vs america spellings ... good to learn something new every day :-)
I had forgotten all about that spelling difference. I always remember color and colour and some of the others, but not that one. Does make life interesting.
Christine - Thanks so much for stopping by with a bit of art encouragement .. . I'll look forward to your post tomorrow (though I really like this card,too!) -
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!

ReplyDeleteThey look "wheely, wheely" tired out. I'm a little past punster age, but, yep, irresistible. Jack/Youngstown
