Trust the Ferret, the Ferret is Wise

I'm thinking about starting up some kind of postcard exchange again. Because I was thinking about letters while at work. See, the thing I realized about the way I write letters is I treat them as artifacts. Not the stupidly powerful magic item kind of artifact, or the dug out of the ground kind of artifact. But I try to make most of it matter, even the envelope. If I just want to send someone text, I can do that over the Internet. So if I'm sending an actual letter, I should make use of the fact the letter's an actual tangible thing. And also make it different from all the junk mail people get. Which usually means neat stamps, doodles, and filling up lots of blank space with complete rambling, including pointless stories. It's fun.

So I wonder if doing a postcard exchange, where people mail each other post cards with monuments or landmarks from where they live would be cool. Preferably where they actually live, not just the nearest city or whatever, but I know a lot of people don't live anywhere worth having its own postcards. I know I do.
