Update on my f**k-up niece's situation: it appears that her beloved groom - who she could not wait more than 5 days to marry - has been in prison for spousal abuse. It also appears that he several outstanding judgments/liens, which is why I suspect he had her buy *edit* LEASE!!! a car and some other sh*t before they got married.

I'm sure this is going to turn out fantastically.

I friended the turd on Facebook; I've been resisting the urge to explain to him the story of how easily he could find himself at the bottom of a shallow hole in a remote part of Utah...but it's coming. There's a mutual understanding we need to reach...less of a threat, and more of a set of rules and the list of potential consequences for breaking those rules.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Well that certainly sounds like she has a bright future ahead of her!





And by "bright" I mean flashing red and blue lights...

On the plus side, Mrs. S. scored a $250 pair of roof rails for the Grand Cherokee for $20 at a garage sale last weekend. Mopar, never used.

So...more info has been obtained. The new husband's criminal record is for breaking and entering (his ex-wife's home) and assault (attacking her new husband/boyfriend).

Also, my wing only goes to 8 degrees - I'm kind of jealous of that 45-degree rake.
