WE got a huge return of sets and props from a big time movie. I wrote a story with pictures.
… an interesting
story that may never be told. Why not? First, movies are quite secretive because they do
not want strangers wandering around making their sets useless. Second, I asked some of the men delivering
our things to lift their masks so I could get their pictures. “They could be fired, Alan, you
cannot do that.” said Marjorie.
And third, President Trump has tested positive for the Covid 19 virus. Pence exposed? What does this
mean? Is Biden vulnerable? I thought Trump look sick in the debate…sure sounded sick. Is Nancy
Pelosi third in line as takeover President. Hope so. Getting nervous. I sure am. Not
that I will miss Trump.
So here is a series of pictures to make you feel less tense on this October day.

P.S, Maybe I can send the movie story titled RETURN LOAD once the movie is shown to the public months from now.
But do not hold your breath. Meanwhile go on this road trip with us.
Where are we? “Alan, get your camera, I will drive UP THE FIFTH LINE, DOWN THE FOURTH LINE OF ERIN TOWNSHIP…JUST
A SHORT DRIVE SOUTH WEST OF ERIN.”
And so I left the drab brown soybean field where Andrew keeps his bees and became a passenger. Pretend you are
in the truck with us.
Thanks … to whom? To those of you who liked our previous road trip to Sheltered Valley and Wicklow Beach…east of Toronto.
One couple even duplicated the trip (Pat Fry and husband Dave).
Here we are North west of Toronto…
Soybeans can be beautiful too…
Maple trees age, get tired, and collapse…sometimes with a burst of colour.
Poor Mr Lindsay, a bachelor with a top herd…he decided to move a cow from one place in the barn to another…she turned
on him…gored him in the gut…bad…he dragged himself to the house to call for help…made the call …but died. At least
that is what I remember being told. Cows kill farmers as much or more than bulls. Keep that in mind.
“There, Alan, that is what I wanted you to see.”
“Can anyone tell me the cost of this rig? I am guessing around $200,000 dollars. Little wonder that small farmers
have disappeared and corporate farmers are taking over.”
“Don’t take my picture!”
“OK”
A few years ago I was asked to drive this stretch of road in a new Japanese car … a commercial to be seen in
Japan only … why would the car company want a Canadian driver on a Canadian back road for the Japanese market?
Same stretch of road where I drove the experimental Japanese car…looking south this time.
I remember a line from a poem … “My days are in the yellow leaf.”
