The Language Police managed to let this one get all the way to production with the phrase “you know your from Texas” uncorrected. Oh well, what can you do? As Christ said, if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out — but instead I think I’ll just let this one pass.

I can’t help but notice that these qualifications aren’t unique to Texans; I’ve met a number of people here in Georgia named Bubba. Some of them even hold public office.

Thanks are owed to Kris for increasing the size of my Alaska postcard collection by 50%.  A fellow collector, he writes: “Found your site and thoroughly enjoy it…. Like yours, my collection began at the behest of my elders.”  Hey it saved us both the trouble of starting from scratch!  Be sure to check out Kris’s collection which, like mine, spans over a hundred years.
