So, we're sitting here talking about our find counts and whatnot and check me out.

1400 postal finds! What? What? #rockinit

And this number doesn't include my finds in PLB's before AQ was doin' it.

How's yours?

I have a mere 243, and yours is the first one listed in my logbook. I still remember it.

You've given the USPS lots of business!

My mailman is kept busy with all those bubble wrap envelopes I get (380+ postals for me).
Hmm.... I think I ought to do a postal in honor of him, and give him the logbook when it finishes its travels.

I still think about your barn logbook!! The work that went into logbooks!!! The whole package was terrific. Remember when you could mail them for .56 if the stamp and book were little?

I'm just an old cahoot....wobbling along on my cane....

And looking at this drawer full of old stamps, day dreaming about "here is a stamp, you make the logbook..." ring like we did once in the days of yore.

hahahahaha I'm making more coffee now.

If you want to participate in a postal, keep an eye out for a Postal Tracker (set up the "Newest Tracker" widget), since sometimes people don't announce a new one on the Postal Board, and join the tracker if it sounds like something you want to do.

There are different variations on a postal - some where you just make or receive one carve (a single postal), some where all participants make a stamp and log book and those get sent to each other (a postal ring), there are "micro" postals that have weight and envelope thickness limitations, and so on.

Read up in the glossary everything you can related to postals. There is Postal etiquette involved also, so ask if you have questions

Go to the glossary and read up on postals and postal help to get a better understanding on it. It explains the whole concept very well. :)

Here is the glossary entry. It's a stamp and logbook that comes to you by mail. Then you send it out to the next person on the list.

Sometimes they are postal rings so that everyone in the ring carves a stamp and makes a logbook. I've been in three of them.

But the glossary is a good place to start when you have a question about something new.
