Hi and Lois watch

[Hi and Lois, August 14, 2010.]

[Hi and Lois, November 20, 2010.]

Progress, sort of: a car seat at last, even if its occupant still rides inches from the rear windshield.

Not to mention a whole new color.

They had a blue car earlier this month too. It’s too much for one person to track.

It would be a struggle to install a car seat in August's car. No door handles. And November's car doors apparently open like French doors.

Michael Leddy said...

Good catch on the French doors!

Handles (like mirrors and seat belts) seem to come and go on the Flagstons’ car(s). Does the absence of handles prevent us from entering the enclosed space of the Flagstons? Or does that absence bespeak, rather, a Sartrean “no exit,” the family defined, almost tautologically, as a network of always-inescapable presence?

Michael Leddy said...

Or more pretentiously, “a Sartrean no-exit.”

That's wonderful, Michael. Somewhere in America, a desperate graduate student just found his or her dissertation topic.

Michael Leddy said...

French (French!) doors alone could be a chapter.

If the second picture is a minivan with a sliding door, that is, in fact, where the handle would be placed!

It looks like a Volvo wagon to me, but as it’s Hi and Lois, who knows? :)
