Christiane is very diminutive, you could easily believe she is one of the faery folk. So it was surprising when she showed up driving a huge boat of a car she had bought off some farmer on a country road near Winnipeg. Even perched on a cushion her eyes just barely cleared the steering wheel. One day I borrowed her car to go to town. “It does not go over 75 kliks,” she cautioned. I took it to 100 with ease. Then we realized it was because her legs were not long enough to fully depress the gas pedal.
