SOL 11: At the Post Office

I went to the post office today to buy stamps (yes, I still use the postal service). I was trying to use my credit card in the machine without touching anything with my fingers. It wasn’t easy, and I said, “Nobody wants to touch anything.”

            The postal agent, a small, older African-American woman, said quietly, “Ever again?”

            “Well,” I said, “not until things get back to normal.”

            “When will that be?” she asked.

            “Maybe after the election?” I suggested.

            She laughed out loud.
