A woman's postcard bearing greetings from Montana has finally arrived in northeastern Ohio — 47 years later.

That is one heck of a bunch of rain, snow, sleet, and hail!

Did they ask for the additional 19 cents due? These are hard times, you know... :-)

re: postcard may have been stuck in equipment or lost behind a mail chute

Or maybe it was taken back then by a practical joker and put into an envelope marked “to be opened after my death” and the joker just recently died.

It would make a great ‘Snail Mail’ example.

Perhaps a lazy Postman stashed a bag of mail in his apartment and recently passed?

You just never know how this stuff happens. I subscribe to a computer magazine which means I get it a bit later than the news stands already. In my mail route, I was delivering the same magazine I get, only a month after I recieved mine.

I can’t understand how it can get mis-sorted for so long with addresses printed right on the front. Makes no sense. A post card I can see getting stuck somewhere and lost, but a freekin’ magazine?

If you like the Post Office, you’ll LOVE socialized medicine.
