    At last! The WWII Forums/Forces Postal Service is fully up to date with all 104 postcards and 7 Christmas cards from Bobby (A-58). This includes a few notes sent in myself that I just hadn't updated. I also found @Biak's missing card from earlier this year and posted it. The map is fully up to date as well.

    I sent one from Iceland during my vacation there last month. Did it make it?

    Please accept my apologies Bobby, I'm very far behind. :oops: :_sorry: I did indeed receive these two cards, and three others from you as well. I've sent in a few myself, which still need to be uploaded. I'll get up to date shortly. I'm currently traveling with no access to my scanner, so it will take a couple weeks at least.

    My trip will only add to the postcard workload, as I'll driving across the county into Canada, and I'll be sending a card from each state I pass ththroughMy wife gave me a set of fifty postcards, one from each US state. I'm not sure I'll ever get to send all fifty, but I'll see how close I can get. This trip should knock a half dozen off the list. Alaska and Hawaii will be the harder ones to do, but then again I've always wanted to visit Pearl Harbour, so who knows?

    Not a problem, at times I seem to get anal over acknowledgments of messages, texts and mailed items. They’ll get there when they get there!

    To be fair, it's been long enough to be considered negligent on my part. I'm currently out of the country right now, but these are at the top on my list once I return.

    Nothing exotic CAC. I'm near Toronto, Canada (again) on family business.

    Hey anywhere outside Australia is exotic to me! You have snow and stuff there...Its winter in the southern states here in Australia...They have snow i suppose.

    The dry season in the Territory is SO boring...Cloudless skies, 32C every single day...Top Enders look forward to the wet so we have some action outside!

    As you probably know, I've spent plenty of time in both Oz and Canada. I like snow activities some, but I'd pick the down under over the up North ten times out of ten. Sub-zero conditions lose their exotic appeal very quickly!

    Been a cold wet summer here so far, in contrast to last year's heatwave. Only been up the hills once, getting withdrawal symptoms.

    I'd love to have them. I've got 15+ in the hopper, adding a few more won't can't hurt. :dazed:

    All outstanding postcards from Rogues have been uploaded and added to the map.

    That's twenty (!) cards from Bobby (A-58) so far, not including Christmas cards. Surprisingly, he does not sit alone in first place, rather he shares first place with Owen, who also sits at twenty postcards submitted.
