<\/div>\n
WE got a huge return of sets and props from a big time movie.  I wrote a story with pictures.<\/div>\n
… an  interesting <\/div>\n
story that may never be told.  Why not?  First, movies are quite secretive because they do<\/div>\n
not want strangers wandering  around  making their sets useless.   Second, I asked some of the men delivering<\/div>\n
our things to lift their masks so  I could get their pictures.  \u201cThey could be fired, Alan, you<\/div>\n
cannot do that.\u201d said Marjorie. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
And third, President Trump has tested positive for the Covid 19 virus.  Pence exposed? What does this<\/div>\n
mean?   Is Biden vulnerable?  I thought Trump look sick in the debate\u2026sure sounded sick.  Is Nancy<\/div>\n
Pelosi third in line as takeover President.  Hope so.  Getting nervous.  I sure am.  Not <\/div>\n
that I will miss Trump.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
So here is a series of pictures to make you feel less tense on this October day.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
alan<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
P.S,  Maybe I can send the movie story titled  RETURN LOAD once the movie is shown to the public months from now.<\/div>\n
But do not hold  your breath.  Meanwhile go on this road trip with us.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Where are we?  \u201cAlan, get your camera, I will drive  UP THE FIFTH LINE, DOWN THE FOURTH LINE OF ERIN TOWNSHIP\u2026JUST<\/div>\n
A SHORT DRIVE SOUTH WEST OF ERIN.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
And so I left the drab brown soybean field where Andrew keeps his bees and became a passenger.  Pretend  you are<\/div>\n
in the truck  with us.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Thanks \u2026 to whom?  To those of you who liked  our previous road  trip to Sheltered Valley and  Wicklow Beach\u2026east of Toronto.<\/div>\n
One couple even duplicated the trip (Pat Fry and husband Dave).   <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Here we are North west of Toronto…<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Soybeans  can be beautiful too…<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Maple trees age, get tired, and collapse\u2026sometimes with a burst of colour.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Poor Mr Lindsay, a bachelor with a top herd\u2026he decided to move a  cow from one place in the barn to another\u2026she turned<\/div>\n
on him\u2026gored him in the gut\u2026bad\u2026he dragged himself to the house to call for help\u2026made the  call \u2026but died.  At least<\/div>\n
that is what I remember being told.  Cows  kill farmers  as much or more than bulls.  Keep that in mind.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThere, Alan, that is what I wanted  you to see.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cCan anyone tell me the cost of this rig?  I am guessing around $200,000 dollars.  Little wonder that small farmers<\/div>\n
have disappeared  and  corporate farmers are taking over.”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t take my picture!\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cOK”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
A few years ago I was asked to drive this stretch of  road in a new Japanese car \u2026 a commercial to be seen in<\/div>\n
Japan only \u2026 why would the car company want a Canadian driver on a Canadian back road for the Japanese market?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Same stretch of road where I drove the experimental Japanese car\u2026looking south this time. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I remember a line from a poem \u2026 \u201cMy days are in the yellow leaf.\u201d<\/div>\n
