Who knew how important postcards, or "postal cards" used to be. While it seems as if texting is todays quick postcard, the original postcards seem much more efficient. Lack of emotion is often a problem with text messages leading to misconstrued opinions of meanings etc. You would imagine that with postcards the same problems would occur, but from the reading you realize this is not the case.
"Question marks occur in curious places~ like a knowing wink~ and the special positioning of the stamp meant something in secret code that the addressee alone could decipher." That is soo special and unlike any text that can be sent nowadays. Postcards have greatly diminished, but their use should resume. They add much greater originality and personality to messages and are of much greater one on one status.
