We finally got the
car out - my aunt sat in the driver's seat and gave it some gas as I and two bystanders who came to help unbidden pushed the car forward. It took all of five seconds, if that. Easy as pie.
Funny thing: Among my folks here, books and videos and DVDs tend to make the rounds from house to house. Right now, a little movie called Brokeback Mountain is making said rounds. The hilarious thing is that none of them know what it's about - they just think it's some critically-acclaimed movie - until they watch it. And then the movie gets passed onto the next (equally hapless) viewer without comment.
