'Sealed with love'

Customers wait in line to mail their Valentine’s Day cards out of the Valentines Post Office. The post office, which used to be a country store, is a popular destination for motorcycle and car clubs, especially leading up to Valentine’s Day. Karen Harshbarger, with the Virginia-Carolina Model A Club, said she thought she waited in line about 10 or 15 minutes, but since she was talking most of the time, barely noticed the wait.
