There are days in my job where I feel I'm going to be buried under a big load of $hit. Well, this poor tractor driver in the Czech Republic was killed when he was buried under an 8-ton load of manure that he was dumping in a field.
What a crappy way to go!

New LCD Rear Projection TV
I haven't been posting much because I've been spending a lot of quality time with my new TV and DirectTV HD service. Wow, is this sweeeeet! I did a lot of research before deciding on the Sony 42" Grand WEGA LCD Rear Projection TV. See it here--
42" Grand WEGA™ LCD Rear Projection HDTV KDF-42WE655
One of the best sites I found while researching it was this review on CNET--
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6463_7-5023901-4.html. It compares DLP, LCD and LCoS rear projection TVs. Bottom line was that once I saw this TV next to the other rear projection TVs at BrandsMart, there was no choice. The picture is incredible!
I've been watching all kinds of cool shows on HD DirectTV--A Year in the Blue Angels, a cool show on cave diving in the Florida springs, a DiscoveryHD show on meerkats, classic movies like "My Fair Lady". And, now that we finally have a subwoofer, I'm watching some DVDs I've had with newfound enjoyment in the picture and sound--"Braveheart", "The Return of the King" and one movie that looks particularly good is "The Incredibles".
My three favorite scenes in "The Return of the King" are--
Pippin: I didn't think it would end this way.
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take.
[Pippin listenes and watches Gandalf curiously, as he continues. The battle around seems to quiet down]
Gandalf: The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all change to silver glass...
[a light comes into Pippin's face, as a small smile comes into his eyes, as Gandalf looks out into the distance]
Gandalf: ...And then you see it.
Pippin: What? Gandalf?... See what?
Gandalf: White shores... and beyond. The far green country under a swift sunrise.
[They both smile as they look at each other]
Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad.
Gandalf: [Softly:] No... No it isn't.
-------------------------------------------
Denethor: Farewell, Peregrin, son of Paladin... I release you from my service. Go now and die in what way seems best to you.
-------------------------------------
Witch King: You fool. No man can kill me. Die now.
Eowyn: I am no man. (As she stabs him and wins the battle.)
And the best part of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is right here--MMM, MMMM, good
