Outgoing mail

 The three-day holiday weekend gave me the chance to catch up on some Postcrossing postcard writing.  Over the weekend, I wrote, stamped, and addressed over 50 cards, which are now ready to go out to the world in Monday morning's mail.  Get ready, USPS!  In addition to the hefty stack of postcards, there will also be my usual personal correspondence to family and friends.  July is a big month for friend's birthdays, as it happens.  I am currently ranked 28th among all USA Postcrossing members (more than 76,000 of them) in terms of number of cards sent.  And I still cling to my #1 ranking in Alabama.  So I hope this weekend's efforts will help to cement my position.  It's also the last flurry of activity before the USPS raises the cost of stamps once again, on July 13th.  What's become an expensive hobby will become a little more so.  Regardless, I have no intention of giving it up.  Write on!
