For almost five years, I have had an 8mm Olympus lens for my OM-D. I do use it now and again (just to remember what it's like!), but it's a sort of one-trick pony and I have not really figured out what to with that one trick.

Aha! Today, Monday 13/7/20, I received Pablo's Galapagos postcard (with a half-moon in the sky above ). Yay!

It was postmarked 19/6, so it took just over three weeks.

My July card to Scott went out early this week (Monday 6th July, I think).

I've received none in the past few months. (The last one I received may have been in February!)

My June card to Pablo was mailed earlier this week, the 8th of June, I think. Fingers crossed for a speedy trip.

It has been a while since I have received one. . . March month maybe.

I do 95% of my picture taking nowadays with two digital cameras. One is my Fujifilm X100T, which was a slight improvement over my old X100. A better carry-around digital camera than one of these I can't think of. The slight improvement, for me, was the rearrangement of the manual-autofocus switch so...

Here it is the fifth of May and I just remembered I must send Julio a postcard! Julio, I will make the card tonight. How long the post offices take . . . we don't know.

It is Sat 4/4/20 and I will soon walk to the mailbox to drop off my April card to Mike Elek.

We, by the way, are healthy here with pretty good graph-dampening procedures in effect throughout the city. I hope all reading this are well, too.

Philip

And I hope we'll both continue that way for many years, Phil!

May we all stay well, and grow very old.

Welcome, Scott! And thanks, Alex, for the reminder that April month is Mike Elek's. Mike, I will start thinking right away about what to send. Our mail system has been kaput for the past week but I hope by the end of this week it will be running again. I have been relying on prints I made at a kiosk...

Keep up the Good Work, Larry. And stay safe, all of us.
