Hi,
Didn't like yesterdaybut today sure makes up for it hot and sunny. Have my windows down. It's 1:30 Sat. Hope they let me drink in Ga tomorrow. On Sunday they don't in some states. If I can't, I'll play golf. I'm only 120 miles from Atlanta. Easy from here.

Seriously, I can make out every word except for the writer's name.
It was postmarked at 6:30 PM on Sunday, December 24, from Chattanooga. Looks like H. didn't make it to Georgia the next day after all.
Some years after this postcard was mailed, I ran across this bridge. I did not golf or drink in Georgia on a Sunday afterwards. I was 2 years old at the time.

Ha ha. The book I'm reading right now takes place in Tennessee. Maybe I should go there soon. It looks cool.
Swinging bridge...well I don't like the sound of that!
I do always like seeing your cool postcards though, so thanks :)
Some 40 years ago, my great aunt lived in Chattanooga. On one of those trips to visit her, I went to Rock City Gardens. I clearly recall walking across that bridge and being terrified out of my mind. I don't like heights -- especially when the surface of my feet keeps moving.
I don't remember running across the bridge, but others do.
Funny story! I like to watch others cross swinging bridges, but not a big fan of crossing them myself.
What a strange dialog on the back of this postcard. Drinking must have been pretty important to that guy. Maybe its the reason he decided not to go to Georgia the next day... so he could stay there and drink.
I don't know from experience, but I don't think drunkenness and swinging bridges would go very well together, either.
I love a good view as much as the next guy but damn. I think that I'll probably stick with the post-cards.
Swinging bridge! Too scary! There's always some joker who intentionally makes it swing, too, just to freak out other people.
Winter! Time to look through old postcards again! Maybe I'll do that soon.
I keep finding more and more postcards. This one is actually from a book entitled "Revenge of the Son of World's Tackiest Postcards". Many in this book have been removed, and many advertise Holsum Bread. These are all real postcards, and as I said, this duck race card comes up for sale a lot.
