Post cards

As many of you know sending postcards are my thing. I enjoy sending them. I keep every postcard that I get from someone. It is just a cool thing. None of the postcards have any real information on them. Would you ever say anything real serious in a postcard? Everyone reads them. They are a cool way to keep in touch with people. The best part about them is that they arrive totally unexpected. Well the people that get them from me know they are coming, because I am out of town but usually it all works.
While I was in Canada we were in an area that does not really have postcards, so I had to wait. It was a total bummer. I waited until I got to the Toronto airport and they had lots of postcards. So I bought a bunch of them. Canada has this really cool postcard that has the postage already on it, so you can send them any where in the world. It is very easy and very nice to use. The issue was that I was already through security and I needed to find a mail box. I asked the woman behind the counter if there were any post boxes, she said “no, but I will take them for you.” This is not an uncommon response. Everyone I have asked to do this has been very helpful and really great. While I am waiting for my flight, I speed through all of the postcards and I give them back to the lady. I am stoked because two of the postcards had birthday messages on them and everyone will be happy.
It has now been 2 weeks since I have left Canada and no one has received their postcards. People have received their postcards from Germany but not Canada. I have never had that happen where someone says they will help you out and then just doesn’t. It really sucks. The money is not the issue, it is that the woman said she would do something and then didn’t. If she did not want to do it that is fine, I would have found someone else to do it. Don’t say you will do something and then don’t. So the moral of the story is: 1) send more postcards – everyone loves them and 2) Do not trust Canada.
