  1. I hope to goodness that this is not the same chain this guy threw overboard. I'm not sure that the tidal currents could have moved this chain that far. Just in case, I have alerted the Penscola Police department to have them interview this guy. Read the story. http://pensacolanewsjournal.com/news/080903/Local/ST001.shtml "I cache; therefore I am"
  2. You may be suffering from Geo Personality Syndrome (GPS) also known in the medical community as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Dissociation is a mental process, which produces a lack of connection in a person's thoughts, memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity. During the period of time when a person is dissociating, certain information is not associated with other information as it normally would be. For example, during a traumatic experience, a person may dissociate the memory of the place and circumstances of the trauma from his ongoing memory, resulting in a temporary mental escape from the fear and pain of the trauma and, in some cases, a memory gap surrounding the experience. Because this process can produce changes in memory, people who frequently dissociate often find their senses of personal history and identity are affected. Most clinicians believe that dissociation exists on a continuum of severity. This continuum reflects a wide range of experiences and/or symptoms. At one end are mild dissociative experiences common to most people, such as daydreaming, highway hypnosis, or "getting lost" in a book or movie, all of which involve "losing touch" with conscious awareness of one's immediate surroundings. At the other extreme is complex, chronic dissociation, such as in cases of Dissociative Disorders, which may result in serious impairment or inability to function. Some people with Dissociative Disorders can hold highly responsible jobs, contributing to society in a variety of professions, the arts, and public service -- appearing to function normally to coworkers, neighbors, and others with whom they interact daily. There is a great deal of overlap of symptoms and experiences among the various Dissociative Disorders, including DID. For the sake of clarity, this brochure will refer to Dissociative Disorders as a collective term. Individuals should seek help from qualified mental health providers to answer questions about their own particular circumstances and diagnoses. If you don't get help at Charter, please get help somewhere. "I cache; therefore I am" [This message was edited by Wanderingson and Compass Rose on August 08, 2003 at 11:40 PM.]
  3. Great story--this has the makings of a movie of the week. Can't wait to hear what unfolds next. What ever you do, do not say any of the following as you deal with the local law enforcement reps: - Hey, you must've been doing' about 125mph (200km/h) to keep up with me! Good job! - Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in. - I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a Police Officer. - Excuse me. Is "stick up" hyphenated? - Hi Officer, Do you mind holding my beer while I find my driver's license? - You know, I was going to be cop, but I decided to finish high school instead. - "Bad Cop! No Donut!" - I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there is no other car around, that's how far I am behind the other cars. - You're NOT gonna check the trunk, are you? - Didn't I see you get your tail kicked on "COPS" last week on TV? - Wow, You look just like the guy in the picture on my next to my girlfriend's bed. - I bet I could grab that gun before you finish writing my ticket. - So, uh, you "on the take", or what? - Gee, officer! That's terrific. The police officer yesterday only gave me a warning too! - Do you know why you pulled me over? Good, at least one of us does. - So, are you still crabby because your mamma didn't let you play with your gun when you were little? - Hey is that a 9mm? That's nothing compared to this .44 magnum. - Is it true that people become policemen because they are too dumb to work at McDonald's? Naturally folks--this is all in fun. "I cache; therefore I am"
  4. Well, I know when I return to the States in September for a few short weeks, I will leave a note in each log that I travelled from Northern Japn just to visit any cache I found, That ought to raise an eyebrow or two. I'm already making my vacation plans around a few caches in California, Tennessee and Florida. "I cache; therefore I am"
  5. Ok folks, If you haven't heard it yet--I think we all need to practice a little condom sense here. "I cache; therefore I am"
  6. Sounds like a road trip is in order. Good luck "I cache; therefore I am"
  7. GeoCan, I had previously done some work with the RFHCO(Butyl Rubber)suits from the titan era, I think you guys call them Scape suits for the shuttle program. These are the suits the liquid fuels guys were. Ever done any work with them? "I cache; therefore I am"
  8. Let me tell you a little story that happened to me last week--Wait a minute, that wasn't me at all. Never Mind. "I cache; therefore I am"
  9. I think I know where the other half of that joint went to now. "I cache; therefore I am"
  10. Home is where I hang my GPS. "I cache; therefore I am"
  11. I think I know where the other half of that joint went now. "I cache; therefore I am"
  12. I'm only here for the free pretzels "I cache; therefore I am"
  13. Here's a great little link concerning buying stuff directly from the US MIlitary. Get the phone numbers for local installations and make a few phone calls. This is where all of the retailers are getting their stuff from and are selling it to the public at a tremendous mark up. Some of the DRMO offices have some pretty interesting containers and often have public sales. http://www.acq.osd.mil/sadbu/publications/selling/part5.htm It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes... If we didn't cache, we would all go insane. "I cache; therefore I am"
  14. Who approved this one? "I cache; therefore I am"
  15. Sounds like some really awesome products if you have the cache, I mean cash, to drop on the Orvis and Ex Officio line. They make high quality, high end products and offer a high end price tag. The US military has been issuing permethrin to treat clothing in hot humid areas for years now. The permethrin I have used (0.5%) is effective for up to six weeks or sixth washing. Sawyer Prooducts manufactures permethrin (0.5%), but their labeling says to retreat after two weeks. Funny how they market that aspect. One word of caution would be to never treat your headgear. Sweat could cause this to bleed and get into eyes and mouth which would not be a good thing. Sawyer also makes other great products for the outdoors. Check them out at http://www.sawyerproducts.com/ No comercial endorsement implied just another source of information. "I cache; therefore I am"
  16. Hey, Maybe I could a virtual cache under the shuttle launch pad and the only way to get credit for it is to tell me the temperature of the flames at time of takeoff. Naturally, you have to be holding the thermometer at the time of launch. I'll make this a multi-cahe and put a NASA maintenance suit in the first so you won't raise suspicion. I think I know where the other half of that joint went to! "I cache; therefore I am"
  17. Cool--I was going to start a new thread on this one, but did the right thing and did a search for "niknames". Wanderingson has a deep rooted history dating back to when I was an 8 year old child. I would jump on my bicycle and head off on all day excursions around town. Over the course of one summer vaction, I found nearly every nook and cranny of the then small town of Fairfield California. Ma never worried about me, somehow she knew I was smart enough to use whatever common scence an 8 year old could have. In the late afternoon as I would pull into the driveway, Ma would be there and ask Well where has my "wandering son" been off to today? Over the years, the sense of adventure multiplied exponentially and the name has stuck since. I always had the uncanny ability to share my adventures with all around me and conitinue to this day to wander. Compass Rose is my lovely bride's name. Let me tell you, I have never in my life met anyone who had a better sense of direction. This gal could navigate the surface of the moon if you gave her a map. She can find true north better than an actual compass because is isn't effected by magnetic declination. Life is short---Cache Hard "I cache; therefore I am"
  18. I think I know where the other half of that joint went now. "I cache; therefore I am"
  19. Have you tried to establish a dialog with the approver that disapproved this? Maybe they just misunderstood and you could explain your side of it. I'm investing in Depends.
  20. Excuse me sir, would you mind coming to pick up your joint on the way to the joint?
  21. Without any commercial indorsement check this site out. http://www.superfeet.com/selector/index.html CLick on the dealer tab for the dealer closest to you.
  22. No worries on the illegal dumping--you would be totally appalled by what the Japanese dump in the wilderness. I could start an antique TV, fridge, and funtiture museum anywhere along the pacific ocean out here. I would be happy to share some photos. Cache in--Trash out would take the entire Japanese Army a decade to haul garbage out of the woods. Thanks for the insight.
