  I would like to start out wishing Dale Earnhardt Jr.  a& nbsp; bunch of " get well soons" nbsp;
 I hope you are feeling better. nbsp;  For you non- NASCAR fans,  Dale Jr.  was supposed to drive a Corvette in the LaMans race on Sunday and he wrecked in an early morning practice session.
nbsp;  The fuel cell of the car was trashed and the car was completely ablaze. including the driver. nbsp;  Props to the fire suit as ESPN reported last night that Dale Jr.  Received only minor burns on his face and legs and will not miss any Nextel Cup Events.
nbsp;  Get well soon buddy! nbsp;  We can only hope that people will not quit discussing the Kennedy Curse and not begin speaking of the Earnhardt Curse instead!  & nbsp;
 So,  I attended my first Antique Machinery and Threshing Show yesterday. nbsp;  I met this idea with a tiny bit of skepticism,  but WOW,  it was COOL as hell!
nbsp;  All kinds of antique tractors,  stationary engines and farm equipment. nbsp;  What a cool thing to attend. nbsp;
 I had never seen an old steam tractor let alone the threshing machines. nbsp;  These old machines had like 80 foot belts that ran off the tractor and served as the PTO. nbsp;  Amazing. nbsp;
nbsp; Lots of demonstrations on how these machines separated oats and oat straw. nbsp;  They also had stationary engines that ran the first washing machines. nbsp;  Thank you Maytag for your advances in technology as I am pretty sure I would have sucked at laundry then and would probably have hated it more than I do now!
nbsp;  Also present were draft horses that demonstrated how wells were drilled and gave plowing and hay cutting demonstrations. nbsp;  What a good time.  & nbsp;
 Jeff and I watched Johnny Depp's Secret Window on Sat.  night. nbsp;  What can I say about Johnny Depp? nbsp;  "
A"  stands for Awesome and " H"  stands for Hot,  as usual! nbsp;
 Oh yeah,  and the story line was great too. nbsp;  I give this movie at least four stars out of five,  so rent it! nbsp;
 I have an inkling of fear,  however. nbsp;  Without giving the story away,  the killer buries two people under a cornfield and then eats the sweetcorn all summer long. nbsp;
 The sweetcorn thing comes from a written story that is the center of the movie. nbsp;  Jeff keeps telling me he is going to grow a bunch of sweetcorn wherever we move. nbsp;  So people,  if I randomly disappear.
please check Jeff's cornfield!
