There were also acres of empty metal drums, industrial barrels just sitting around; it was hard for any self-respecting young thrill seeker to resist climbing inside and tumbling downhill. Parents seldom ventured into the area. So the town fathers and mothers did not know enough to fear that the moon glob and the barrels might have come from the Baird & McGuire factory, the plant at the Pastures' edge that produced pesticides...
