Although my first postcard never arrived, my postcard match, luages, who lives in Trinidad, made sure to send a replacement. What a thoughtful reddit-gifter! As you can see from the photo, the trees here are leafless, so it's wonderful to receive some tropical imagery -- even if it is a bit torturous!

Luages blamed the original's non-arrival on the Caribbean postal service; however, considering I live pretty off the grid in the states, I'm willing to bet the blame also could be on this side, which is why I was horrified to discover that, because of the mix-up, he was "banned for a while from any exchanges."

Dear redditgifts moderators, this man (or woman? -- if so, my bad) has followed through with his promise, so please give full credit where it's deserved: don his profile with the proper flair and award him with the rightful credits!

Thank you, luages. Your postcard found my joyous, because it made me joyous.
