Hate to be a downer for all the people with high hopes about the postcard having stuff on it but I'm holding mine in my hand right now and there is nothing there. Sorry

Yet it's the only thing that hasn't really yielded anything so far, isn't it?

I'm still thinking there's gotta be something to it. I even tried overlaying it with the Long Walk graph, and got nowhere. The graph does begin and end at the same points as the rotor axis - if you flip vertically.

^ Yes, it could have also been made by someone scribbling on a piece of paper laid atop the post card, leaving a indent that was picked up by the scanner. It would be interesting to compare scans of different peoples postcards to see if the scribble image is on all of them.

There's something that just strikes me as odd in the paragraph on the front of the postcard - like either they were just bullshitting and trying to use as many words as possible in order to fill space, or maybe there's a coded message in there of some kind. The way the paragraph is composed sort of reminds me of the Sebald code in the Lemony Snicket books where every tenth word in a piece of correspondence would be part of a coded message, and so they would sort of fill in the blanks between the real message with frivolous and often nonsensical connecting phrases (ones that stick out to me here are "Ring, Ring, Ring!" and "regular Janes and Joes").

I went and saw Daniel Handler read some Snicket material (and accompany himself on the accordion to the Count Olaf song) back in 2001 in San Francisco, and I was one of maybe 3 adults there who were not there with their own children. Hee.

So, count me in as a fan.
