Oh large, rusted, faded yellow Komat'su PD200LC. Creature of power and beauty. Your grace in strettttching your hydraulic metal arm, scooping a mountain of dirt without so much as a shudder, spining around 180 degress, and gingerly releasing the dirt to avalanche down the remaining hill - imperiling the pedestrians and cars that risked being near the "danger, keep out" marked fence below - is simply, well, breathtaking. You move like a ballerina, a modern dancer - and all of us watching are moved to tears. There will never be a dance like this again, ever.

Do they sell tickets to performances of the Komat'su Ballet? Is it like the Nutcracker?
I know a little boy that would rather watch that than the Bolshoi in its heyday. Frankly, so would his father: I'd spend my last hour on earth at the opera, but I hate ballet. (I made the opera comment to lessen the likelihood you'd find me a cretin--see how I did that?)

Do you hate ballet more than America's Next Top Model?
Lissa - it's more like Six Weeks' nutcracker - where the little girl is dying and gets to do a scene as Clara. I sob the whole time.
That is the best Nutcracker ever...
