We seem to be getting a reprieve from a week of predicted rain today. This is good news for me, as I picked up a seed mix to patch some of the bald spots in our yard, and this gives a chance to go throw some of it around to take advantage of the downpours when they presumably return. Having a couple of big dogs means never having a picture-perfect lawn, but that's never been a high priority for us; but it would be nice to get a little better coverage in some spots, if for nothing else than to avoid the pups tracking as much mud into the house during spates of weather like this.

I have a couple Best Buy gift cards and think I am going to use them to get a Blu-Ray player.

Been looking at this one:

Anyone have one? Any other "budget" Blu-Ray player have such highly-rated picture quality? I was looking at the Samsung 1600 and LG 370 as well but the flip-down fronts on both are not something I care for when adding memory (the Panasonic uses a SD card instead of USB drive - nice!); the top-mounted buttons on the Samsung really won't work for my setup and the LG seems to have worse picture quality on upscaling regular DVDs.

Thanks!
