Comment: Thanks for the chunk. .temps here have been all over too. High 30s one day, low 60s the next and then back to 30s. Can you tell me what movie it was? I have a picture of the address side of the chunk, from my informed delivery, but never received the chunk. Please, do not resend. I don't see most chunks anyway and I got your message, which means more to me than the picture.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely Door County postcard. It sounds like the best of both worlds to live right outside the city but also to have a place to go to that’s more laid back!
