Passerby Profiles of Everyday People

Person #1: I went to pick up mail at my P.O. Box, and a postal worker had to step aside so I could access my box. As soon as she saw which box I stuck my key in, she addressed me by name. Of course I was amazed and had to find out her name (Diane). She claimed that she could associate every box number with its owner's name. Wow.

Person #2: A junior-high-aged girl (I admit I am pretty bad at guessing ages) caught my attention when she got off the bus in front of me. She looked like a preppy goth (no makeup), but had these cute things on her backpack: 2 NASA pins, 1 NASA badge, 1 alien pin, 1 Powerpuff Girl (Bubbles) pin, and one pin that read, "Real People Wear Fake Fur." It was the NASA stuff that struck me; to imagine that kids still had NASA dreams was just so adorable and wholesome to me.
