Gil and I, out for our afternoon walk on a gorgeous 50 degree(F)
day, stopped by the post office to mail a letter to Japan. Knowing that the stamp would be 98 cents, I put a dollar in my pocket and away we went. In the post office, I ordered up the stamp and laid my envelope on the counter and post master Bob said, "that'll be $1.05." "Aaahhh! I only brought a dollar, I'll have to come back again later", I tell Bob. "Don't worry about it", he says, affixing the stamp and putting it in the bin. What a nice guy!!
Later I took the nickel down and gave it to Bob, who seemed surprised and said I didn't need to, but thanked me profusely.
