Is this mostly a video? I rejected cookies and it filled the screen with a box at the top complaining that it couldn’t show me a YouTube video now and a box at the bottom complaining about all the things they couldn’t show me because of my choice.

Ah thanks. Ya it’s not like something like that would have been blown there by the wind, It would have taken a concentrated effort to move something that heavy involving either a tractor or at the very least several people.
