Glad you liked the picture, MC - I sure do like the geocoin.

Me, too.

Thank you!!!!!

This was a tough choice, so I bailed out of ONE choice and added another geocoin ( the Coins and Pins production of the "Crotalusrex and Mimichan Box Turtle/Rattlesnake Wildlife geocoin") and (coward that I am) ran it thru a random numbers generator. I got #9 (CITO geocoin) and #18 (Wildlife geocoin) If you would both PM me your mailing addresses, I'll get these geocoins out today if I can. Some of you made me laugh, some of you made me cry. Thanks for participating.

Hi! My Dad has passed...Lord, it's over 20 years ago, how can that be? - but his memory lives bright and shining in my heart. He was a teacher by trade and by temperament. He always seemed to be teaching us something - history, nature, powertools...! He and my Mom taught us to respect our environment long before any "Green movement". So, there is a gold "Make Every Day Earth Day CITO" by CacheAddict geocoin up for grabs. Winner picked by me, no groveling, no whining, no appeals. This cointest starts now and will end Eastern Time, at 10 PM today. Winner to be announced tomorrow morning. Happy Father's Day.

So are our previous reservations still good or should we re-reserve...?

Droo, this is SUCH a neat picture I had to "borrow" it, too. I GOTS A GOLDEN MAILER IN MY BOX TODAY!!!!!! Wow, the translucents are terrific with the background of this geocoin...like the skeledude* is wafting out of the darkness of eternity. Soooooo cool. Thank you, thank you, whoever you are, Mystery Giver. I am humbled and gobsnobbered and ... thankful! Number 049 will take an honored place in my collection. * Thanks, tsun for the MOST appropriate name for this fella!!

I'd love to see a Jellicle Cat option. The Song of the Jellicles Jellicle Cats come out to-night Jellicle Cats come one come all: The Jellicle Moon is shining bright - Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball. Jellicle Cats are black and white, Jellicle Cats are rather small; Jellicle Cats are merry and bright, And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul. Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces, Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes; They like to practise their airs and graces And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise. Jellicle Cats develop slowly, Jellicle Cats are not too big; Jellicle Cats are roly-poly, They know how to dance a gavotte and a jig. Until the Jellicle Moon appears They make their toilette and take their repose: Jellicle Cats wash behind their ears, Jellicle dry between their toes. Jellicle Cats are white and black, Jellicle Cats are of moderate size; Jellicle Cats jump like a jumping-jack, Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes. They're quitet enough in the morning hours, They're quitet enough in the afternoon, Reserving their terpsichorean powers To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon. Jellicle Cats are black and white, Jellicle Cats (as I said) are small; If it happens to be a stormy night They will practise a caper or two in the hall. If it happens the sun is shining bright You would say they had nothing to do at all: They are resting and saving themselves to be right For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball. T. S. Elliot

We used ZenCart for our ASPGB event. You can do a fair amount with it. I never tried to limit quantities, tho' you can. Looking forward to the reservations going live.

You have an anxious group of buyers....are you not taking reservations because you have changed the colors? Just curious.

For folks who are clueless (raises paw) is there a link to the storefront site?

A Rogue Rook or Crazy-shiny Crow (taking a geocoin from a cache)...we all know how the corvidaes love bright things!! A Cheeky Chipmunk on top of a cache. A Wary Weasel lurking around a cache. A Sneaky Shrew coming up from a tunnel in the woods litter near a cache. A Perious Pigeon in an urban setting. I gotta stop....

Pins, too? I really liked the 3/4" ones. Was there a chipmunk? Or a weasel / mink?

You were 100% correct!! <grrrr!> Dang, does the weather look terrific for the event or what? There will be event coins for sale - Oakcoins will be in attendance as a vendor with extras as well as other goodies.

<stamps feeties> I can't get the site up this morning (9:35am), either.

Our second one-of-a-kind XLE geocoin is up for auction on ebay! This one is satin silver. All the money raised from this sale goes to the event. Allegany State Park GeoBash V XLE geocoin Who knew how that tents and porta-potties and tables and chairs and all the stuff it takes to make the event run costs so much?

Shiny in my hand I hold you up to the light and admire you. I like haiku.

Whoot!! Thank you!!! We also share our house with a cat, a Ragdoll named His Royal Boo-ness. His first owner couldn't have him, and we took him to his forever home (our house), which he now owns and graciously allows us to live there. His name was Boo because he was born on Hallow'een. "Boo" was too simple for such a lovely dignified creature, so we altered it slightly. I PM'd you as well.

WHOOT!! We have a fund-raiser geocoin on eBay! Fully trackable on GC.com. It is one of two XLE's. This is a satin gold version. The next geocoin will be a satin nickel. The regular version is antique silver. ASPGB V XLE geocoin Come take a look!

Many, many thanks to ATMouse for such a generous donation... Yes, we is DEFINITELY gonna give away some geocoins! I remember the first year we gave away coins at the ASPGB Coin Expo...me standing on a folding chair calling names pulled from a hat. There were not so many geocoiners there - the hard core and the "OOO, look, shinies!" geeks (me) We had nearly enough to give EVERYONE who came a coin...then some generous folks stepped forward and shoved a bunch more into my hands and everyone did get a coin. Dang, that was fun! I look forward to the Expo this year. The Hall we are gonna use is just terrific...and it's heated. Not that we will need it, right?

The Feline Finder Lovely looking coin. I like the mask on the face! The Masked Hunter Full Pounce Up For Caching

I tried the Starbucks, both types: The Italian Roast and the Columbian. It's made a believer out of me. Good stuff.

The pre-orders for this geocoin will close on April 12th. There will be some geocoins available at the Store during the event.

Oh my sugar high will never be satisfied!!!

There's your caption! It's a good day to be a frog!!
