[AT] Durn Hollywood crazies forgot the tractor

[James Peck]

We got the 17 year old to drive the geezers to the picture show a couple of nights ago. We saw that movie "1917".  I did not see any tractors in it but it did have a tank stuck in a trench. It would have been nice to see a big tracked Holt with the single front wheel dragging a big artillery piece around.

I and the 17 year old discussed the dead horses lying around. It was my position that they were used in place of a tractor to move artillery.

I loved the singing. The song, "Poor Wayfaring Stranger", gave the movie a Bluegrass feel which was IMO a little out of place to the plot, but beautifully done.

One of the English speaking troops was a Sikh wearing a loosely wrapped turban. A blue collar Sikh I know at work wears a turban that appears to be a bandana.
