Happy Thanksgiving! Maximum card: wild turkey
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! You don't have to join the Armaggedon of turkeys, though. Just "give thanks" and appreciate all the good things in your life, even if there aren't that many... "Count your blessings, not your troubles"...:)

Non-traditional (non-FIP) maximum card: American alligator
This is a great photo of an alligator's nest!
WOA/ The LARGEST REPTILE in USA = ALLIGATOR. NON-AUTOGRAPHED MAXIMUM CARD
See you later, wally-gator? No, see you now!
"American Alligators have the strongest bite of any living animal, measured at up to 9,452 newtons (2,125 lbf) in laboratory conditions.[7]"
"Alligators depend on the wetlands, and in some ways the wetlands depend on them. As apex predators, they help control the population of rodents and other animals that might overtax the marshland vegetation."
"The American Alligator, Alligator mississippiensis, (known colloquially as simply gator) is one of the two living species of Alligator, a genus within the family Alligatoridae. The American Alligator is native only to the Southeastern United States, where it inhabits wetlands that frequently overlap with human-populated areas. It is larger than the other extant alligator species, the Chinese Alligator."

Maybe a Chinese friend (but isn't blogger.com banned in China?) or another friend, or future friend, or just plain stranger could send me a Chinese alligator maximum card?
Or, if I get a simple postcard, I'll make it into a maximum card, with a matching Chinese stamp.
How can I check IF THERE IS such a stamp?
I go to my website http://dorinco.webs.com (this is the updated version of http://www.freewebs.com/dorinco - still valid) and I click on this useful link:
Great website for reptiles on stamps
So I find that there are at least 3 stamp designs from China (PRC) and one from Eesti, which my general culture :D tells me it's Estonia.
Yeah, why don't I set that as a cool, although non-high-priority project for me: maximum card(s) with the Chinese alligator.

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
