It brought to mind the car seat my youngest grandson has in the back seat of his dad's sporty car. It reminded me of the Enterprise's control panel. The car has 2 bucket seats in front--Dad and Mum sat in front. The Little commander's seat sat smack in the middle of the back of the car. Plump granny (me :)) was crushed by the side window behind Mum but attempting to retrieve objects (baby bottles, sippy cups, stuffed animals) that the LC would forcefully throw on the floor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564548991196024787.post-16722698320626028512009-12-07T06:14:10.265-05:002009-12-07T06:14:10.265-05:00Good morning Denis, your aunt Vi's description...Good morning Denis, your aunt Vi's description sounds like my aunt Lili's.

My Moms older sister Betty was my favorite. <br /><br />It's funny the perception people have of different places.
