I don’t sent the email cards either. I like looking thru cards at a card shop. Long long time ago I had a cousin who raised racing pigeons. In fact he sold some to Terry Bradshaw. I remember going to his parents house when they were racing pigeons *& wait for them to come in so they could be clocked & how bad everyone felt when one wouldn’t make it home. Faith C.

As a devoted letter writer (I send about 30-40 pieces of personal mail a week) I am a fan of “old-fashion” communication. Maybe we can go back to pigeon delivery of regular mail ;-)

Some call them “rats with wings” and I’ve heard “flying germ balls” but if you really take the time to look at them you will see some amazingly beautiful color variations. Everything from deep rust to mostly white with irridescent feathers mixed in. They really are a pretty bird. ….. and as just shown ….. faster than some internet providers. Talk about file transferring with style!!
