The guys make an adjustment as they haul the hooptie out of the olive grove (and the vision of everyone in the valley)
Tractor team takes the lead and I follow after being pulled out of the olive grove
The neighbors head back home as I prepare to make my way down to the vineyard, across and back up the other side of the house.
Hooptie back where it belongs, all Green Acres like.
Sure, I was bothered when I got the Land Cruiser stuck in the olive grove in a harebrained scheme to fast track delivering the fertilizer. But it turns out the neighbors were even more bothered.
After a couple of days of putting up with my “performance art” spoiling the look of the beautiful hills for miles around, the locals took matters into their own hands, arriving unannounced to help us pull it out. They stuck me behind the wheel of the truck, giving me cryptic directions about what to do. In a few minutes, the hooptie was back in the game and headed back to a more suitable parking spot.
Thanks so much, neighbors!
