Draw That Bridge!

Help! 
A bridge is missing, and without it people will not be able to commute back and forth between San Francisco and Marin County. This postcard was printed before the bridge was built in 1937. I can't imagine how people got along without it.

Your super engineering skills are needed to draw them a bridge (crayon is O.K.)  In this view, Marin  County is on the left-hand side and San Francisco is on the right. You don't have to duplicate the existing bridge, but it needs to be sturdy, because recent events have shown that the Oakland Bay Bridge is only semi-reliable.

On December 15th, I will post another view that shows the bridge that was built, but if you think you have a similar or better idea, submit it here. You can print this postcard out and draw or paste on it or start from scratch. Please send it back to me as a jpeg file. Here at The Daily Postcard, we appreciate artistic license, so extra points are awarded for creativity, but if you're able to draw, collage, or paste something that looks like the real thing, then that's great too. The best response (or two) will be posted along with the actual existing bridge. Your response must be received by the end of the day on December 14th. Click here to submit your response.

Owing to Extreme Pressure...

RFD stands for rural free delivery, although it obviously wasn't free. Before rural free delivery, rural residents had to go to the post office in a nearby city to pick up their mail.

This is one of the numerous cards I have to and from the Woodin family. To see photos of the Woodins, see this other post.

Godt Nytt År

This New Year's card appears to have been sent in 1908.
Although this is a Swedish card, the spelling for Happy New Year is the Norwegian spelling, not the Swedish spelling, which would be Gott nytt år.
Maybe someone can clarify this...and provide a translation. There is so much text; I'd love to know what it says.

UPDATE - September, 2010

Thanks to Postcrossing member, Kjell, from Sweden, we have a translation. Here's what Kjell has to say:
Godt nytt år (Happy New Year) is Swedish but written in the old spelling!
Picture side, at the left;
You can write a letter and tell me how nice it is there. We haven’t had any snow here yet so it does not look like Christmas. Do you have any snow in America?
On the right side;
I don’t have anything more to write this time xxx  Karlsson is at my place, he is asking for a greeting. It was that man who was at the train. Writing this in a hurry. Gunnar Best greetings to Georg.
Address side;
Wishing You a Happy New Year. As you can see I’m sending you some one-hundred crown bank-notes as you well need. I hope you have had a fine Christmas. Are you still working at the mines, it’s a hard work. I do wonder why you take so long time before writing to me. I have sent you 2 postcards. Have you got them. It’s very hard to find work. I have got a longing for America.
Some lines to the left are difficult to read!
