I'm not afraid to say her name; Gary is the one who thought we'd all 
keep talking about her after she left.  That didn't happen.  She does 
get an occasional mention.  Julie seemed to think she couldn't get a 
copy of her mailbox key from the Post Office, for reasons which were 
never made clear.  Then again, she was always making excuses for every 
little thing that was f'd up in her life.

Crossing a four lane road to get to the mailbox would be problematic.
