Last Entry before leaving for Dallas

The car is packed (except for my computer) and I'm ready to hit the road tomorrow morning. Before I start out though, I thought I'd leave you one of the 2008 Darwin Award Entries.

A Texas contract worker was hired to install reinforcement bars on a communications tower near Camp Bullis. He was wielding power tools high above the ground, when two other workers saw him lean back and fall 225 feet to his death. Turns out, the man had loosened the bolts on the bar to which he was attached. The police called it a "tragic accident." He did, however, remove himself from the gene pool, qualifying him for entry in the Darwin Awards.
