Postcard of the day

I bought this postcard at a funky café in Washington D.C. a couple of years ago and just found it now, tucked into an envelope of other things I’d been saving.

Given the amplitude of the seething and whining about having to social distance for two weeks from a couple of my “south-pointing compass” friends and acquaintances online, it seemed appropriate. C’mon, guys — and yes, they’re all guysAnne Frank was tougher than you. Hell, the eggplant I had for lunch was tougher than you.
