After the recent heavy rainfalls, I really, really want this postcard:
Not sure if you can click to embiggen that or not. It's a postcard of Venice, watery canals and all, with "Greetings from {my home town}" printed on it.
Get it? Get it? Venice is full of water, and my neighborhood keeps filling up with water, so ...
But here's the thing: Would displaying that in my house be tempting fate? Borrowing trouble? I don't want to invite anything bad in.
Then again, I have pictures of dead people in their caskets (memento mori) in my house. There's also (deer and bird) bones throughout. I currently have a bunch of giant (artificial) rats in my garage, waiting for Halloween. All you have to do is look at a few of my Freaky Fridays to know that weird stuff surrounds me. How much worse could a picture of Venice be? Or would it be, like, forecasting something that could happen?What do you think?

Okay, this is just my two cents and let it be known that I am very superstitious. I think that it depends on your 'intent thought process' when wanting that card. Such as, you wouldn't want to think, 'oh! I want the floods to come to my town!' but more like "wow! isn't that uncanny! That portrays some thing that just happened in said area.' I am surrounded by things that others would deem morbid or odd. Most people use the word eccentric when they see our house, mainly the living room and I don't think any of those things have jinxed me.
So, *I* think you'll be fine, but I didn't say that if it all goes wrong! Just kidding.
I like it, I think it is a funny irony. That's just me.
I say go for it. No bad luck there.
