Heather, I didn’t get it??? Checked junk and nothing there. Can you resend? I actually live in St.Catharines next city to the Falls but it’s the Niagara Region. We are only 8 minutes from the Falls and the US border. Niagara Region=Wine Country and we invented Ice Wine here.

Heather,
The card is in the mail. I even over stamped it to make sure I didn’t screw up on this end of the delivery. It should be postmarked tonight from Portland, Oregon.
The USPS website states that delivery times to Mexico “varies”. Well we all know that! Isn’t what you are trying to capture here?
This will be fun to follow! Thanks for the entertainment.

What’s with all the clowns around town lately? Have you seen them? I saw one browsing the DVDs in Wal-Mart the other day and I always see them on the 5th. I know it’s low season and all, but SHEESH! I think they’re creepy, too.

Char, I have no idea. I haven’t lived in the US for almost 4 years…whatever it is, I can reimburse you when I see you next, aren’t you coming in August? Did you get the address?

Here is a bit more information: I sent the card yesterday at 4:45pm from SE Wisconsin. The postage was $1.53…but to note, it required extra postage. I think it was due to the size as well as the content of the card. I was told it would take ‘about a week…to Mexico’ was a crisp laugh and and knowing nod.

Heather, I can see you there…with a wall map and push pins meticulously plotting for your experiment.

And don’t worry, I already know what I’m going to ask. I’m going easy on you. The other questions can wait for another time and place.
