Too true. The Wednesday Geobabe outings are sometimes filled with curb jumps, San Francisco turnabouts, stop-sign screeches, and a lot of shouting from the passengers. ... and that's just when it's my turn to drive.

 

Sounds like when I'm Caching with Team Fatman and he is the Navigator, He says turn here, when here is already here. Or we are already past it and he says it's back there. Isn't Caching fun.

Hmmm, somebody is doing this just so's he can get out of the backseat! Good Grief, I provided pillows!

That being said, YES, we really do need those bumper stickers!

Harmon's U-Turns are usually two complete revolutions in the middle of an intersection, but he doesn't hold a candle to $kimmer's curb jumps.

It was JUST a little toasty here today............118 at one point this afternoon.

Not sure what the high felt like at my house today because I escaped to Carlsbad with the gang to enjoy some caching in what we thought would be cooler weather. But it got up to 101 in Carlsbad today!!! I drank 7 bottles of water while urban caching and had two beers at Pizza Port for lunch. I was dripping wet but it was still a lot of fun! I called my wife around 3PM to see what I was missing and it was 114 at our house at that time! To make matters worse the power went out again!

 

P.S. Love the sticker! We need some of those for swag!

Incredible story about an elephant's memory....

UPI July 13, 2006

 

A young man was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from college.

While he was walking through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed so the man approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot. There was a large thorn

deeply embedded in the bottom of the foot. As carefully and as gently

as he could he worked the thorn out with his hunting knife, after

which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to

face the man and with a rather stern look on its face, stared at him.

For a good ten minutes the man stood frozen -- thinking of nothing

else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly,

turned and walked away.

 

The man never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty

years later the man was walking through the zoo with his teenaged

son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures

turned and walked over to where they were standing at the rail. The

large bull elephant stared at him and lifted it's front foot off the

ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times, all

the while staring at the man. The man couldn't help wondering if this

was the same elephant.

 

After a while it trumpeted loudly; then it continued to stare at him.

The man summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made

his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and

stared back in wonder.

 

Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one

of the man's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the

railing, killing him.

 

Probably wasn't the same elephant....

Incredible story about an elephant's memory....

This reminds me of another elephant...true story...

 

The thing about elephants is that they need things to do. Not a problem in the wild, but it is a real problem from elephants in captivity. If you don't give an elephant something to do, it'll figure out something on it's own. Now a days, zoos are hip to this and they come up with all sorts of tasks for the elephants. Before they figured this out, though, there was this elephant (at the Phoenix Zoo, if memory serves) that came up with a little game. It would use bits of hay to lure ducks over to it. (The ducks were freeloaders attracted to the zoo by open water.) When the duck would get close enough to it, the elephant would squash it flat with it's foot.

 

(Somehow, wheneever I picture this, it's always a Farside duck and elephant...)

I finally caught "the look" on film yesterday, so you all could see what I go through! I took my family to the Wild Animal Park yesterday. There is one cache there called Flibbertigibbits that has been the closest to my house since I started geocaching. I have never gotten it, so today I decided I was finally going to get it! Even if it meant dragging my family all over the park and getting "the look." So below is my daughter Alyssa's "You want me to go geocaching? look....

 

 

Of course it also might be her "Quit taking my picture!" look. Both looks are very similar.

A friend of mine sent me this:

 

I just got my new Chevrolet Pick up and returned to the dealer the next day complaining that I couldn't figure out how the radio worked. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated "Watch this"! He said "Nelson"!

 

The Radio replied "Ricky or Willie?"

 

Willie" ! He continued. and "On The Road Again" came from the speakers. I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd Say "Beethoven" I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said "Beatles" I'd get one of their awesome songs.

 

One day, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled "A&&HOLES!".

 

The French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Michael Moore, backed up by John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on booze.
