Back in July, when I got home there was a card waiting for me. It's a pretty stupid card. I suppose it's an "asshole card", but it fascinated me in some way I can't quite pin-point. It has been floating around and cluttering up my desk for months, and I can't bring myself to throw it away
So thought I'd put it out here. Maybe that will help to get rid of it.
You can tell me what you think of it, or the person who wrote it, but please don't tell me not to worry. It is far too ridiculous to cause me a moment's concern. I suppose my problem is that I cannot quite imagine the kind of person who took the trouble to send it.
Here's the front of the card. I rather like it. It has atmosphere.


and here's what he wrote on the back:




I guess I never got far enough into Jim Rogers' book to know that's what he had in mind. But then it's hardly an original idea to go back somewhere after 25 years to see what's happened. If there is anything fresh and interesting to be had, it will be in what we come back with.
As for what this guy thinks "going around the world" means, I don't even begin to understand.
Well, that's done it for me. The card is in the trash. I hope you enjoyed it.
