The Hayward Post Office still has the original style in the lobby area. One door even says, "Buy War Bonds." It is warming to see murals of the local area and seriously patriotic artwork and statues. Plus there is a Muskie mounted on the wall as well. It is Hayward, you know, Home of the World Record Musky. As I was standing in line, the clerk asks the customer in front of me if she needs any stamps. It is their usual question. The customer was a petite older woman, demurely dressed and also in demeanor. She replied no. The clerk continued, "Are you sure? How about Jimmy Hendrix stamps? Or Harry Potter?" The clerk and I are laughing quite loudly. The customer chuckles and replies no thank you. I thought the clerk was joking.
I went home to check the post office website. Sure enough, there were Jimmy and Harry. Why can't there be the U.S. Flag and call it a day? Obviously, I am not a stamp collector. Anyway, it made for a fun visit to the Post Office.
