   Hmmm. Bungee cord. Don't know why I didn't think of that myself. Or   
   maybe I could rig up a safety harness with baling twine. I use a pretty   
   bright blue-colored poly baling twine these days that would look really   
   nice with the gloss black frame of the TV. I have approximately 70,000   
   feet of new stuff on hand, not to mention the current cache of loops   
   from fed bales. That should be enough...
