Ramblings & ephemera
From "Unwanted at Any Speed", a review of Richard Porter’s Crap Cars in The New York Times Book Review:
The DeLorean DMC-12 of 1981-83, he writes, had an engine “so weak it would struggle to pull a hobo off your sister.” Not since Raymond Chandler have I met a metaphor so much more powerful than would do.

Working my way through an enormous, long-overdue pile of bills, notices, articles, and crap. Feels great to reduce the pile!
