Kasia from Hungary wrote on her postcard to me: "After a very hot summer, autumn has finally come and I couldn't be happier about this change. Soon we will be able to see views like the one on the postcard during weekend hikes in nearby forest." (I'm so jealous!!)
And a young woman from Ukraine wrote this message on her postcard: "Hello Chris! I'm 19 y.o. Ivanka from Kyiv, Ukraine. For me, Arizona is associated with 5C: cotton, climate, citrus, copper, cattle. This is also the state with sent McCain to the Congress. McCain Str is the one I love walking here in Kyiv.1 As Russian scumbags destroyed most of Ukraine's energy generation, we spend long hours without electricity. Hence, this postcard is dedicated to energy workers who against all odds manage to keep the grid afloat. With best wishes, Ivanka."
Meanwhile, here are some of the emails I received in October from Postcrossers who received cards from me:
Kristina in the United Kingdom wrote: "Thank you so much for a spooky Halloween card! It reminded me that now's the time to compose a Halloween watchlist -- I'm not a horror person, but I do enjoy my fair share of Halloween-themed fantasy movies and TV shows. Happy Halloween to you and the cats!"
Satu in Finland wrote: "Thanks a lot for your nice Halloween card and stamps. We have quite nice weather now, but weather forecast has promised we will get snow soon. I hate winter. We have 4 Cairn Terriers and they love snow. Take care!"
Huang Yanju in China wrote: “I'm glad to receive your postcard. I really like these beautiful stamps. The building in the picture is very beautiful. It's also autumn here, which is my favorite season, but the climate is still hot now. There is no Halloween event here, but I really like to eat pumpkin. Good day.”
Footnote
1. Kyiv City Council voted in 2019 to rename Ivan Kudrya Street as John McCain Street. "John McCain, a U.S. senator who was a member of the Republican Party, was a strong supporter of the EuroMaidan protests in 2013-2014. He also visited the front lines in Ukraine near Mariupol after Russia launched its war on Ukraine in the Donbas in 2014," the Kyiv Post reported at the time.
