JAKE CHRISTIANSEN STADIUM

FILIGREE FANTASY
A breath-taking creation of golden symmetry, this unique decoration stands 16 beautiful inches tall. Gilt paint covers unusual pasta shapes on an intricate cone of boucle lace. A garland of golden mesh braid spirals the tree which rests on special lusterfoam base. Silver Filigree Fantasy Tree pictured also available. Another original giftcraft kit by National Handcraft Institute.
CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE-TUNNEL
NORFOLK, VA.
Entrance to Thimble Shoal Tunnel
The C.B.B.T. has four basic components: 12 miles of low level concrete trestle, two one-mile tunnels, two steel bridges, and four man-made Islands, providing entrance and exists for the short tunnels.

None of this week's postcards are available for sending. If you would like to have a somewhat less boring (but still quite boring, I assure you) postcard delivered to your own home, that is your right and privilege as a reader of this online entertainment.
You may demand your card in the comments or by email -- I am (of course) Michael5000, and I use the major web mail service hosted by the Google folks.

Of which my favorite is JAKE CHRISTIANSEN STADIUM.
Um, yeah--the stadium is one of the best I've seen. What IS she doing?
I hope there's a boring postcard bore-off someday!
After some consideration, my hypothesis is that what we have here is a cheerleader caught in an unremarkable moment of working the crowd. Maybe if she had pom-poms, someone in the crowd would look at her. Who are the five women on the mobile reviewing stand? A homecoming court of yore? The world wonders.
I had the same question abt the apparent cheerleader. They wore more clothes in those days...
