Ira from Soviet

I decide Ira is a person, not a stalker, not a prank. Ira is voted Ira, unanimously. All my toes agree. I celebrate with bare feet in the air on the balcony. Ira is real and is travelling Russia, or rather, she is travelling SOVIET forests: after all, if you study the back of her postcard closely, it says "1987." So it's 1987, and my friend Ira is writing a postcard from the Russian forests.
