As much as I loves me some blogging and some digital photos, I still adore postcards, getting them, writing them, sending them off.  I love them so much that I&#8217;m going to send one to you. But you have to send ME one, too. Tacky, gorgeous, vintage, just plain used, a picture of some place you&#8217;ve never been or went 12 years ago and still have postcards from, send &#8217;em my way and I&#8217;ll send one to you.<\/p>\n<p>In a nod to technology, we first have to trade addresses via email:  [pam (at) nerdseyeview (dot) com] Send me yours, I&#8217;ll send you mine. Don&#8217;t be shy; I won&#8217;t send you anything inappropriate and I&#8217;m not stalkerish or weird. (Well, not weird in a scary way.) I have some postcards that we&#8217;ve made ourselves over the past view years, some that I never sent out, and, if I run out, well, who knows what I&#8217;ll send you.<\/p>\n<p>Long live the postcard!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The postcard, that cheap and venerable souvenir for the last 120 years, is slowly but inexorably fading from the scene.
