A couple of days ago the GlassStacker and I were at Karen's place in St. Paul. We were supposed to be doing something constructive but instead decided to cross the river and go to an estate sale in Minneapolis. At the sale, in south Minneapolis, on the other side of the Mississippi River, I found an interesting and unique Matchbox car that was part of the estate. It was a Bullnose Morris Cowley. Since it was fairly cheap, I bought the toy then promptly gave it to Karen. Later that day, when the Boss and I were back home, I thought I would do a Google search for the Bullnose Morris to find some background information just in case someone ever asked me about it. The first thing I found was a YouTube video made by BBC in the 1960s depicting one man's restoration of a Morris Cowley.
This video, outwardly about car restoration, is an Aesop's Fable. The restoration of the Morris is used to describe our actions and relationships with family, friends and others we are in contact with in our daily lives. We, the GlassStacker and I, feel this film is a must see for all of my readers.
Oh yes, The serendipity part. I would never had found the film had I not been goofing off at an estate sale across the river over there in south Minneapolis.
Go to YouTube and search "Bullnose Morris". The restoration videos are in a 4-part series, each part is about 8 minutes long. The videos have been posted by Atlantic1952.
Keep em running.
As always,
The GlassStacker's Assistant
