金色十月小小历险记

2020年是个特殊的年份，新冠病毒第二波卷来了，第一波从来没停止过，又来了第二波，虽然出去买菜，超市都写着不带口罩不许进来的招牌，每天确诊的人数现在天天超4000了，这只是我们一个州而已，全美那就更吓人了。疫情还是那么的严重，但又是总统选举年。

好久没出去了，这是个好借口外出远足，于是带上了相机，想要拍拍十月秋天的故事，没想到碰到了不少事，算是个小小的历险记。请点击视频看我的Vlog 金色的十月。这里就是这一天的视频日记。



天气好，黄色的花很显眼，就是这大片黄色的花引诱我走到这个小山坡，我拍了不少，一边拍一边爬坡，然后从另边下来时就到了火车轨道，然后就不知东南西北了，感觉往右走就可以走出去到大街上了。但警察叔叔要我往左拐，我就往左拐了，不过我想往右应该也能走出去。视频里是整个故事，比帖子的内容丰富的多，这就是我更喜欢用Vlog的方式写完整个故事。帖子的容量对我来说还是不够。请不要错过上面的视频。


停下盘问我的警察开的那部警车就是这种黑色的，我当时不敢对着警车拍，所以找了张网图，不过我没看到上面有警灯。这天我一路走看到了好多这样的警车，有的还呼啸拉着警笛开过，不知道哪里有火拚了，这个城市真是罪犯也多。火车的铁轨处只看到前面好像有俩黑车，这是个危险地段，难怪警察叔叔要停下来盘问我，觉得我在这个荒凉的地方干什么，但看看我不像是个坏人，所以就指点我走出铁轨。


前面的Vlog也附上来

金色的十月解说词

解说词，自己匆忙写的，可能会有错。

The year of 2020 is a special year because of Covid 19. President Trump got the virus a couple of days ago. Many of us have been trapped home for months.

It is a sunny Sunday, I went to the post office to drop the vote. It is so nice to be outside. Many people are wearing masks now.

Does this look like a dog on the wall?

One the way back, I saw the beautiful yellow flowers.

I took some videos and photos and climbed over the hill and came down on the other side.

A Railroad extends in front of me.

When I was walking along the railroad towards the street, a police car stopped behind me.

He questioned me and checked my identification. He told me they were chasing bad people.

Do I look like a bad guy? absolutely not.

This is an interesting experience to be stopped and questioned by a policeman.

He gave me a direction to walk out of the railroad and told me this is not a safe place.

I walked out the railroad to the street and came upon the Memorial to Fallen 21

The memorial is for the loss of firefighters at the Union Stockyard Blaze in 1910.

On December 22 of 1910, a fire started in the Nelson-Morris Meat Packing Company. The collapse of the seven-story building killed 21 firefighters instantly.

Bill Cosgrove, a retired fireman, wrote a book on the fire and became the driving force raising monies for the 8-foot bronze memorial.

Artist S. Thomas Scarff recreated the scene of that fateful fire, showing the chief of the brigade, James Horan, holding a bugle upwards to warn the men of the falling wall；a truckman raising his axe to protect himself as he falls backwards；an engine man focusing his hose on the fire unware of the danger.

The granite base includes the names of those who died that day as well as others who have perished in the line of duty.

October shows the golden color everywhere

a small rose

red unknown fruits are cute

quite a lot of railroads

This fence must be very effective to prevent thieves

She wears mask too.

Flowers at street side are all beautiful.

What an evenful day today. First time to vote for the president；first time to be stopped by a policeman when I am walking；first time to see so many railroads in this part of the city；first time to see the Memorial to Fallen 21, a tradgedy of history.

As the flowers show me life is beautiful, we should respect life.

Wish everyone a good day and my family to stay safe and sound.
