Still in the Time of Covid
Well the mail has certainly trickled down a lot this past few weeks, cards are getting scarce. Of course a good collector can always come up with a card or two. So I have a few for this time.
Let's start with a card sent from Arizona but showing a bridge in Omaha, Nebraska. It's the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. The 814 m footbridge crosses the Missouri River between Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha. It opened on September 28, 2008.
Leslie used a 2019 Railroad stamp. It is 1 of 3 in a set Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad.
My second card for today is from France. It's a look at the House of Associations and Culture of Bischwiller, France. It is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.
Dominique used a stamp from 2015 on this card. It is issued to highlight a yearly Stamp Festival , this one shows a couple dancing the Tango.
Very similar to the couple I saw dancing the Tango in Buenos Aires a few years ago.
Today's 3rd card arrived from Grevenbroich, Germany. The town is situated on the river Erft, about 30 km from both Cologne and Dusseldorf. Isa's card doesn't tell us anything about Grevenbroich or the area but maybe the women of the area are as fine looking as the one on her card.
Isa used a couple of the regular Flower definitives along with a 2019 stamp featuring Emoji.
Well it's not often that my updates don't have a airplane / airline card and today will be no exception. This time it's an Air Pacific B767, registered as DQ-FJC. It's shown in Sydney in 1994.
Air Pacific was the flag carrier of Fiji and was based in Nadi, Fiji. In 2012 the airline was rebranded as Fiji Airways. This aircraft , DQ-FJC is 25.7 years old. It flew for Air Pacific from 1994 to 2012. Then from 2013-2020 if flew for Blue Panorama Airlines of Italy. It is now stored at FCO.
Jean Pierre used a Gandhi stamp from 2018 on this card. It is 1 of 4 issued to Commemorate the 150th Anniversary in 2019, of the Birth of Mahatma Gandhi.
Well I think that's it for this time. Thanks for today's card go out to Leslie, Dominique, Isa and Jean Pierre. If you're reading this , thanks to you.
Remember - Wash your hands, Don't touch your face and stay home if possible. If not - stay 2 meters away from others. Stay safe.
