When I emptied my mailbox today, mixed in with the ads, the credit card offers, and the other junk mail was a postcard from New Zealand! This is my first postcard from New Zealand ever. On the front is some reptile called a tuatara. I've never heard of a tuatara before. If even a postcard from New Zealand can be informative, just think of all the cool things I could learn if I went there. On the back of the postcard it says that the tuatara grows very slowly reaching sexual maturity at 20 years of age. In any case I felt honored to get a handwritten note in the mailbox. I should send more notes out myself.
