Pallets in fields

[stuckmotor]

We've been trying to reason that out for over four thousand posts. Those who knew the answer could be dead by now.

Back to reality... and I'm not going to read all 4008 postings, "What is the reason for the Pallets in the fields, stacked in an inverted V ?

Or have we not decided yet ?

- Just like the Aliens, they probably just wanted to get people talking !

Now there is not a decision. It is not even the beginning of a decision. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the decision.

Sage words geoduck, sage words indeed.

"When any work seems to have required immense force and labour to affect it, the idea is grand. 'Pallets in fields', neither for disposition nor ornament, has anything admirable; but those huge rude masses of wood, set on end, and piled each on other to form an inverted 'V', turn the mind on the immense force necessary for such a work. Nay, the rudeness of the work increases this cause of grandeur, as it excludes the idea of art and contrivance; for dexterity produces another sort of effect, which is different enough from this."
-Edmund Burke- (possibly misquoted)

My interpretation:

Although the effort to stack the many pallets in a inverted "V" was immense, they are neither an artistic expression, nor anything functional, as exhibited by their crudeness, but leaves us with the feeling of grandeur anyway.

Don't know 2Lane Andy was pretty crude.

Sometimes pallets just shack up together.

He was obviously being kidnapped.

What's with the 2 wheeler? Was he expecting a delivery?
