One of the online forums that TSG frequents has a postcard exchange a couple of times a year. People sign up, names are picked out of a virtual hat, addresses are distributed and the fun begins. Some folks send your basic souvenir-shop cards (which are perfectly fine), but others get a little more creative. We were quite pleased yesterday to receive this one (shown here in a dramatic re-enactment) from a member in Finnentrop, Germany.

The The James Museum in St Petersburg is must-see for anyone interested in artistic depictions of "The West"--the land, it's history, and it's human and animal denizens. One work that caught our eye in the New West Gallery was Billy Schenck's King George, which portrays a modern-era cowboy and his mechanical steed.
We were a bit disappointed that they didn't have a postcard of King George at the Museum Gift Shop. However, they did have something a little larger for this California Tourist to take home as a momento.
