Dear Harry,

Today I saw the world’s largest ball of twine. The photo on the front of the postcard doesn’t do it justice. Don’t misunderstand—it represents the size well, but it doesn’t capture the central essence of “...huh?” that the ball draws out in the viewer.

But that’s what art is, right? According to you, at least. Art is meant to provoke, to create a reaction; it’s not meant to be pretty all the time. Well, I’m sure you’d have quite an opinion on the ball of twine.

Glad you’re not here—AR. [click, static]

So. Yeah. I wrote out a postcard. Harry’s the only person I know alive other than you, but I’m already talking to you.

Not like I’m going to send it or anything, obviously—I couldn’t even if I wanted to. But...I don’t know, it felt odd to write on the postcard without addressing it to anyone.

I’m gonna make this a thing, I think—postcards of the weirder attractions around this country. If and when I can find them at least.

Because it did occur to me that even if I went and got a camera, I don’t know anything about developing film. The only way I could take any pictures would be if I came across a polaroid, so I’m keeping an eye out for that.

Have you traveled much, Birdie? Like I said, I’ve gotten around a little, but I’ve definitely never traveled this much in this amount of time. Now

that I’ve been doing it for a while, it’s gotten...I don’t know, it’s kind of fun again, the way it was the first week or so. My body’s adjusted to driving so much and I’m headed to parts of the country I’ve never been to so it’s beginning to feel like an adventure again. Like a real adventure.

I’m going to cross over into Colorado if I keep driving West, so I’m going to go up to Nebraska first, just so I can say I’ve been there.

Alright, Whiskey out. [click, static]
