| in both episode 1 and 2, the conversations were a bit blunt, were'nt they? No beating around the bush. Have you ever seen someone shoot a pig such as was done? Or the way everyone was there? I grew up in the UP. I remember our dog having puppies..8 of them. We gave away as many as we could, but there were 4 left. My dad told me to put them in a box. He grabbed his rifle and we went to the local dump. Each was shot. We buried them. It seems crude and almost inhumane, if you will, but that was the way it was done, much like the shooting of the pig. It wasn't done maliciously. It was understood that we couldn't take care of them properly, and no one else wanted them or need them. You can tell by those 60 minutes or so of dialog and life, that the people up in the UP live a life much different than most parts of the USA. Its striking. While watching it, though, it brought back many memories of similar situations in my childhood | |
