I'm an Uncle Again!

My youngest sister, J, had her third girl in December. We went to visit and deliver presents to the older girls. They gave us a nice tour of the remodeled upstairs and their new room decor which includes the first letter of their name on each door. It looks pretty cool because there is an "I" for Ila, an "A" for Adele, and now an "E" for Elsa.
I teased my sister about needing two, maybe three more girls to get all the vowels, suggesting Olivia for "O", Ursula for "U" and maybe Yolanda for "Y", but I think she is focused on the three girls for now and probably won't be going for anymore vowels.
My brother-in-law, R, is also quite delighted with the new girl and his little harem in general. I totally agree too, as all are delightful and beautiful and will certainly enrich this world. Can you imagine in the next 15 to 18 years some young man over for dinner one night taking R aside asking," Gee Mr. L., I'd like to buy a vowel."

Corners like a Weasel in a Drainpipe

I read an auto review this weekend - Hoo Haa! It had some good quotes such as:

...setting aside her taste in husbands ...
Yes, yes, your electroluminescent gauges and dials are all very pretty, ...
...comes in four flavors: ...more about this later.
...involves crushable structures in the upper front ...
...has good bones.
...an endless source of infantile thrills, a high-fructose sports compact with all the yank and snatch of a tuned...
Think psychotic hamster.
...loud and ungenerous and frantic, endlessly seesawing over...
...is leathery and the "tuned" intake system, routed through the fender well for more wailing resonance, performs exploratory surgery until it finds your last nerve, and then gets on it.
I suspect a case of overcompensation.
...has stiffer springs and dampers and larger sway bars, as well as big and sticky, 17-inch ...
...has been relocated lower and closer to the hub axis for better feel ...
... corners like a weasel in a drainpipe.
...computerized cylinder head...
...more stirring than 10-year-old house paint.
...gear shifts must be accompanied by the most feathered clutch work possible...
... I'm more than happy to tolerate the punchy and overwound quality in exchange for its quite ridiculous handling.
