The day the farming died.
This morning the Lear's tractor died. No one was hurt.
The Pierceville Fire Dept. got some practice with their new truck.
Tom is having a bad month, losing a tractor this week and his daughter next week. (She is getting married.)
They are pretty fortunate that this didn't happen while the tractor was pulling a grain cart through a corn field.
According to deere.com, the BASE price for a new 9420 tractor is $213,824.00

More cryptozoology
Ok, forget about the hybrid-mutant in Maine. So the cat in the hat came back only to get hit by a car. Today Heidi found something much cooler (in that it's at my house and not in Maine.)
It's an armadillo. Apparently they are doing just as well at expansion as the the long feared killer bees. For much more information about armadillos go here.
This is the nine banded armadillos' know and potential range circa 1995
If you missed it the first time, click this one to see the march of the killer bees.

If you listen closely you can here the Armadillo (I've decided to call him Ambrose) grunting. The clicking noise is my camera.
In this video we can observe Ambrose digging:

And here are NOT some candid shots of Ambrose.(I will try again later) I tried to tell him that I didn't want to hurt him, and urged him to come out of his hole but he just wouldn't believe me... I think it is a sign. Ambrose has come to protect us from the Killer Bees.

NCAA Football 07
I've never met Ron Prince, but I always imagined him looking less like an old skinny white man than he appears in this years game. Also no one bothered to fax the stadium renovations to EA sports. Honestly, who is in charge of that??
KSU is ranked 51 in the game and 10th in the Big 12.
