Back of the postcard with the senders message as mentioned in the figure caption.

Sent in 2023, with the message “Dear Rohit, I am having a magnificient time in Croatia, and I never want to come back to work! If all goes well I will meet a beautiful lady & stay! ❤️ Brian”

Sent by my colleague at the NIH, Brian, while vacationing in Croatia. I had accidentally given him the wrong address — 4550 instead of my actual street number, 5440. Somehow, despite the mix-up, the postcard still found its way to me, as if determined not to be lost.
