A Nate Story....

When you are problem-solving, you need to start far enough back to ensure a broad enough perspective:

Correct solution:
Put the dozer operator on a stump with a beer cooler next to him.

Climb into the dozer.

Operate it yourself, enjoying the air conditioning and stereo.

Not as exciting, true, but it's a lot of fun in its own right driving down thick brush.

In the old Keystone Kops variety of films you would have run into a tree sooner or later, knocked yourself out cold and would have been straddled by the dozer tracks as it left you untouched during your state of unconsciousness.
