That's a cool story. How did you convince them? What I'm wondering is if you explained geocaching and then opened the box for them? Did they stand really far away when/if you opened the box, or did one of them open it? ---------- Chickenfoot! Come back! You're not a freak! You're just stupid!

Since I started caching, I've always added caches to my watch list before I log a visit. This way, I receive copies of all my logs in my e-mail. I'm somewhat retentive that way, but it helped out recently. One of my no-find logs disappeared, and between me and the cache owner, we can't figure it out. Just today I remember my habit of watching before logging, and was able to repost my log. Why should I worry? It was only a no-find. But each log, to me, is just as important as others. ---------- I will prepare food with my iron fist! Then I will work my way up to ruling you all with my fist!

My favorite to date is BOLP III, but that's a purely subjective opinion (are there such things as objective opinions?). The reason I liked this one is due to a serious operator error I made while hunting this. Unfortunately, the log for my no-find got deleted but neither me nor the cache owner deleted the logs. In short, I got myself into a dandy (and dangerous) situation where I seriously began to question my survival... now, mind you, if you have a level head (which implies that I did not), you won't get yourself into that situation, but I plunged WFO on this one, no regards. ---------- I will prepare food with my iron fist!

From looking at the Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology, it seems that the original word was 'catchup' in the 18th century (and cited as 'catsup' by Swift) and then in the 19th century became ketchup. Regarding sauce vs. gravy, I'm only marginally Italian (4th gen), and it's been 'sauce' in my house; I dated a 2nd gen Italian woman where it was 'gravy' in her house. ---------- I will prepare food with my iron fist!

If anyone should stumble across you they will assume that you have every right to be there and are probably just fighting crime or something. Law enforcement officials love super-heros. This is wrong, just so wrong. I just can't stop laughing. Now I want one of those outfits. If you're ever in NJ, make sure you stop by the Bat Cave ---------- I will prepare food with my iron fist!

Ok, for what it's worth. A lot of people get confused over what they're allowed to do, or not to do, with copyrighted material. The official US Government Copyright laws: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ The long and short of it - owning copyrighted material does not grant you ownership of the copyright.

The 'My Cache' page has almost all the items dated, except for Travel Bugs. I realize that holding a TB may not be a one-day affair, but it might be interesting to see the time period during which you carried the bug: Julie's Travel Bug - 06/11/2002 to 06/15/2002 Or Mighty Duck - 07/05/2002 to current And who knows? Maybe someone who's had a TB for an inappropriate amount of time will want to move it on faster if it keeps 'cluttering up' their My page. ---------- I will prepare food with my iron fist!

I voted no. I personally don't mind either way, but if it helps speed up page loads, that's fine. ---------- I will prepare food with my iron fist! Then I will work my way up to ruling you all with my fist!

If you are in the desert 20 miles from town, you might just look for a shielded area to hunker down in and wait. If you are downtown in a big city, you might want to head for the desert and hunker down. Being retired military, I am pretty aware of what makes a good target in my area. It wouldn't hurt if everyone gave that some thought in your own town. I used to live within walking distance of Picatinny Arsenal (in NJ). It's no longer a munitions dump, now it's mainly research. But back in the 80's it was a different story. I remember in 1983, one of the local gas mains had a leak, and several establishments were leveled by the blast. Waking up at 6am in the morning by three enormous explosions (the first woke me up, and I saw the glow outside the window from the rest), standing on the porch in my undies wondering if "this is it".

The Sony CLIE has the best color display of any of the PalmOS units. CLIE has a 320x320 display, most of the rest have a 160x160 display. The CLIE is also transreflective, so you can read it in any light condition. I have a PEG-T615C, which has been discontinued in favor of the 660C. You can still find them, and usually a little cheaper. Sony uses their own MemoryStick for memory/expansion. Unless you want something that's more standard, I'd suggest a Palm or Treo because they have SD slots. ---------- I will prepare food with my iron fist!

I found out about Georging before caching, and tried my hand at it several times. When I started caching, I ran into Georges, and played along for a little while. I don't have a stamp, so that makes it a little tedious to mark new Georges. Also, amongst everything else. While it's a fun game to play, it can get a bit time consuming. ---------- One banana, two banana, three banana, four. Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
