envoyer une carte

Bienvenue sur la Poste.fr – envoi de courrier et de colis, services financiers

I sent this card to Eric, for his 30th bday, and I only put a 37 cent stamp on it, for aesthetic reasons, because it was a small card and the way I wrote the address, it would have looked all cramped if I had put more stamps on. It looked cramped already as it was. One must remember to put the stamps on first, and then write the address. Next time. Anyway so I put only one stamp, perhaps because I also have a desire to challenge society, yet can only do so in small, meaningless ways, because I am like the man from Notes from Underground.

At the post office, there is just an open slot for the mail. Actually I think there is a drawer below it for bigger envelopes but that would entail touching the handle. So I toss the card like a frisbee through the slot, but while walking home it occurs to me that I might have sent it over the basket that is behind the slot, and onto the floor. So I dunno. After spending the time to glue shiny tinsel 30's to a card my little token of goodwill may never reach its destination.
