Twin tractors
Our driveway is kept clean by two brothers. Local people. And they have matching tractors. I had not thought much about that before today. I mean I never knew which one was in the lane but I did not really care because we paid to the same people. However today we had both tractors in the driveway. Not because of a heavy snow or ice accumulation. Rather something I had never considered before. Even tractors can get flat tires. The brothers lost no time. Within the hour they had raised the tractor remove that wheel down there patch and left. They know what they’re doing. Again I had never thought much about it before. So, instead, I went back to old TV. Ended up finding an episode of Cannonball which was a big favorite before I ever started school. Big rigs on the road. Now the episode left me nonchalant. No big thrills here other than hearing the Canadian references because this was early Canadian TV. In fact I wonder if that show ever made it across the border. The plotline, today, had something to do about a truck shipment being hijacked. Or not. When the thieves opened the truck it was empty. This was nothing more then the decoy. So tricky. And the big clue to let one trucker know that something else was going on was an obscur reference from a very old English poem. Education was important. There were no guns used and the theft was only an intention. More Canadian than that I do not know what it would be. Yes, I will look for other episodes. Hoping to see something that I remember from such a long time ago. Any plot lines that I did know have faded away but this is a good chance to renew my memories. You must recall that in the mid 1950s we had a TV with one channel. You either watched what was on or you went to bed. When you were four years old getting to stay up and watch TV always carried the day. Or night.
