I don't know, though.
So, Melissa and I had bought our first house in Austin, and we'd been living there for about 3 months, and we noticed that some of Melissa's mail wasn't getting to her. My mail all came through fine, but Melissa's was running about 50/50. One day, as Melissa and I were working in the garden, a young woman walked up to Melissa and asked if she was Melissa G. Lipscomb. Turns out that this woman was also named Melissa G. Lipscomb, and that she'd been getting our mail. It took about 3 months of arguing with the Post Office to get all the mail straightened out, and every couple of years, we get a flurry of calls and letters for this other Melissa G. Lipscomb, who is apparently very careless with her credit and has bounced more than a few checks around town. Adam C. Lipscomb [EMAIL PROTECTED]
