Started out for the big supermarket eight blocks away.  Noon.  Very hot.  The streets were nearly empty.  It was a holiday.  He came out and stood against the door frame.  A baby boomer like me.  I crossed the street.

“Alex.”

“Guy.”

“Any green peppers?”

“Sure.”

I bought two green peppers, one onion and three sodas.

“Business pretty slow, huh?”

“What can you do?”

I was glad that before I left another customer came in.
