Parallels 2

Since my conceptual framework was set on the dairy farm where I grew up, my associations often return there. Check out this one . . .

and this one.

Here’s the tug Lucky D below the first enclosed seat . . .

and my brother tugging a manure spreader on the farmland.

Heavy steel machines, diesel and a warm control seat with enough clearance and visibility . . . some enjoyment of wide open spaces, knowledge about invisible land features, involement in production of the bulk fluids that support our lives . . . like petroleum and milk, and vulnerability to the weather. Deere and more Deere (check the timeline). Who woulda thunk? Have any further tug and tractor parallels?
