Now a movie which I saw three years ago it went three hours. Made it turned out by a very old French lady with a very small digital video camera. Fooled me I thought it was film. You caught her reflection in a shop winder for a spit second. Made ME jump! Gleaners have a very special place in European culture. The people kind. And I think maybe they're in the Bible too. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Dore_Bible_The_Gleaners.jpg#file See what you can Glean from this illustration. Oh here's the Bible quote: Lev. 19:9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. I think calling a tracker a Gleaner is kind of a weird thing what's the matter with those people? Does not cut the mustard. BAD tracker company! Mark Rabiner 8A/109s New York, NY markrabiner.com
