You ever see the movie "Radio Flyer" in which kids build a flying wagon but it's not clear what happens to it because the ending is kind if cryptic? Now we know.

Wagon: no
Marbles: yes

No marbles in Hartley, but I did also find some old rusty buckets which may have once held marbles. You could dig around in the leaves and duff to look for them.

Farglebargle: That movie still haunts me. The father in that movie beat not only the children, but the dog--to the point of the children finding it bloody in the garbage, whimpering. The kids built a flying wagon to escape the abuse their father inflicted, taking the battered dog with them.

Still makes me nauseous.

I didn't lose a wagon, but a few months ago someone took a little red peddle car, called a Kett car, out my yard around 19th Ave and 5th street--if you (or anybody happens to find that one buried in the buses--maybe in Lower Chester Creek, let me know--my 5 year old loved peddling that thing.

(Yup, sorry Clumsy, that's the one you handed round to us--I didn't have the heart to tell you it had been stolen).

Yeah, that movie blows. It was marketed as a family film and the ending makes no sense. Any kid who watches it gets scarred for life.
