So did my two budgies, which I had as a young girl, one of them sat under the little bell that hung in their cage. But that was at a time no one thought to take photos, alas! .🦜

“Mrs Tomlinson in the House of Tomatoes.”

1967, taken by Paul Kwilecki (1928-2009)
Used in 1990 on the announcement card for his show “Photos Of Decatur County, Georgia”.

Anyway, I don’t like the way those boxes are leaning.

I can’t tell whether they’re full of fresh tomatoes or cans.

Those boxes would hold about 50 pounds each of fresh tomatoes… so they’re not usually stacked that high, cos the bottom ones get squished… but cases of cans would more likely have a brand name on them.

Either wouldn’t be fun to be under when they fall… though cans would be more dangerous.

My guess would be empties ready for use. At the left a section has fallen, yet several remain stacked above them. I suspect they are light enough that one, only partially held on two edges, is still able to hold itself and three more on it.

Yeah, probably.

Not as dramatic or as funny, in silent movie tradition, but probably more true.

If she were Buster Keaton, it would be cans.

They would be for fresh tomatoes. Boxes for canned goods don’t have the ventilation in them.

Aah … You see the dots as holes?

You’re probably right.

Besides, the boxes aren’t labelled with a brand name, and they’re too tall to be cases of cans.

Behind them are some taller boxes or crates, that don’t seem to say anything (hard to tell) but have carrying holes.

Might be molded plastic lugs, for picking, though back then, most lugs were wooden, and modern ones are much more shallow.

There’s another one in Farrara, Italy.

I thought it was this one at first until I double checked.

My take on both photos…
Same place, just from the opposite side. Take note of the “designs” at the bottom corners of both phots, they are identical save for the fact that the photo is taken from the other side of the bridge.

Okay, all right… maybe to a dog.

I doubt very much if those cheep grocery cart wheels could handle those speeds very long.

They’ll have ball-race bearings, so they’ll be OK, plus they’re being watercooled 😉

So it would be a purpose-built or modified cart, not just something stolen on a whim, from the grocery store?

Is this a thing?

Still stupidly dangerous…. especially if the tanker driver doesn’t know he’s there.

No, it’ll be a standard build shopping trolley (Cart). The supermarkets want to get their money’s worth, so the bearings will be up to spec. Those things travel hundreds of miles in their lifetime, and must be easy to push.

The front wheels caster. One pot hole can send a wheel spinning freely, until it catches the road again (at 60mph) at whatever alignment it happens to be in. Seems a front wheel would buckle after misaligning.

Here in the UK both the front and rear wheels caster on ours, I assumed that was universal on them.

I never said he completely thought this through…..

Ours are all casters too.

But as for their strength and durability…

I see too many lame carts… Stuck or even missing wheels, ones that don’t roll straight, or wobble…
to think latching onto a truck is safe.

Even in this video, the front wheels look like they’re at the wrong angle.

Hmm, right hand drive, white rear numberplates. Could be Australia, but the size of the numberplates look wrong… So did a search on the company name on the back of the tanker, and it turns out to be South Africa.

Today I see #4.

This puzzle creator… seems to be the same one from the last few…
doesn’t hide things by disguising them or putting them in unexpected places. Everything is right out there to be counted.

So this time he has sort of hidden something, literally….

by…
pushing the fourth star about ⅔ of the way behind another snow globe.

Look at the bottom right penguin…. Go to the tip of his beak, then up two globes, slightly leftward, to one with a reindeer.

Behind the reindeer globe. You’ll see part of a star one.

I’m not sure one IP address can log on more than once.

Too sleepy to try.

But when we were still trying to figure out how to log in, and WordPress was making it difficult, so I was a guest for ages, it saved my avatar between visits.

Maybe if you delete your cache before every log in.

It never does.. Most sites don’t.

Posting something already shows us you like it.
It’s not like Sandra Boynton will stop by and think you didn’t.

A thumbs up says thanks for posting this, or I like it too.

And liking something you wrote yourself wouldn’t be right… That’s why they don’t let you.

She was famous in her day… Quite a beauty.

Mark Harmon had lead roles in a lot of TV shows… I remember him in St. Elsewhere, but a bunch of cop shows too. I think NCIS, which I’ve never seen.

I remember he was, hopefully still is, married to Pam Dawber… Mindy to Robin Williams’ Mork.

His father was a famous football player, as well.

Mark Harmon was himself the famous football player. He was the starting QB for either USC or UCLA. I forget which. But he never tried to play in the NFL.
