Thanks Juan - I probably should have thought about the Ivy League first.  I wonder if I can still get a stick with a dog's head on the end like that one

By the way don't under
stand what you meant
by referring to the card.

I've seen them postmarked again on the receiving end, but I don't recall it saying 'Received' before.

Decoration Day was changed to Memorial Day in 1868, although the original term continued to be also be used

I think you are right!  Very good

Cities have canceled St. Patrick's Day parades across the country. So many disappointed bagpipe players.
My first attempt to post a postcard. It is up to you to figure out the address and message.

The pre-stamped post card from the 1870s posted by Rikki a week or so ago was pretty cool.  The second series ever issued by the US Post Office.  I found a few older ones in my collection, not nearly as old as that though.

I think a lot of people and businesses bought them in bulk, because there seem to be a ton of unused ones around.

You nailed it.  Thanks PB.

Thanks for posting the card, FISH.  August 13, 1932.  That was the day that Adolf Hitler turned down President von Hindenburg's proposal to become vice-chancellor of Germany.  Also, 1932 was a leap year.

I love this McKinley card.  As I've mentioned before, I'm color blind and have difficulty seeing the color red.  But I can see it here.  It is red, isn't it?

Hi!
  Stayed overnite in Sioux
City, Iowa.  Ate breakfast at
5:30 A. M. there.  Ate dinner
in North Platte, Neb.!
  Beautiful sunshine!  Warm
out too!  We are in Colo now.
180 miles from Denver.
  Trip has been real good so far.
Am glad Uncle Jim is along.
Wish we could have you along
too.
  Have seen a few cowboy hats
around and lots of beautiful scenery.
It's pretty hard to write this while
in the car.
Don't know when I'll see you.
Take care & write soon.
                              Love - Linda
