While it’s rare for me to attend multiple Events on the same day, it’s a non-zero occurrence. Yesterday was non-zero as well. I hosted an Event at a local taco place in honor of International Postcard Day. I cracked open the Big Book of Events and once again laid it bare for everyone. Fate offered … Continue reading Two Tacos And A Donut →

A couple of days ago, I wasn't feeling too hot. I almost didn't get a cache. I just didn't have it in me to figure out where to go or the wherewithal to hunt. We all have those days, and I have them as much as the next guy (well, maybe less, since (assuming I … Continue reading The Gift That Keeps On Giving →

I went up to scenic L-Town over the weekend. The girls and I went on a bit of a driveabout, as we are wont to do. The first mistake was that I didn't prepare as thoroughly as usual. Consequently, we played a lot more by ear than I normally would. We just ended up going … Continue reading Mistakes Were Made →

I've talked about this before. If I have a pet peeve, it is this. But, having run into it more recently than I care to admit, I feel it is not unwarranted to mention it again.We cachers mostly live and die (metaphorically speaking) by the idea that if you didn't sign a cache's logbook, you … Continue reading Blatant Disrespect →

On Sunday, after the CITOs and back road shenanigans, I rested. As a result, I only went to a couple of Events. That is how I ended up Sunday evening at a Mexican restaurant (actually Tex-Mex, but we're not going to quibble about that) with a plethora of cachers from Austin, Georgetown, the surrounding areas, … Continue reading A Tale Of Two Cuisines →

Since all the scuttlebutt around here has been about the new Geoart, it only made sense that part of the weekend would be about it, too. We had a small but growing roster of people working on the various puzzles for all the Mysteries, but only a few of them were solved. A few folks … Continue reading The Kine-Based Day →

So, I got up Wednesday morning, and—as I usually do—I went through my morning rituals. I did morning ablutions, I got some breakfast ready, and as I ate, I read the morning news and all manner of online gubbins. I checked my email, and hundreds of messages were waiting for me. My early-morning brain went, … Continue reading Have A Cow, Man! →

In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? On Sunday, after I had already written my previous entry, I needed to go out and get a cache (as I am wont to do). I ran up to Pflugerville and managed to find a fake rock made of some kind … Continue reading Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright →

I got a call from a fellow cacher on Friday. She was making a second attempt on a simple gadget cache I had recently hidden that she DNF'd. She wasn't the first, but how anyone could miss a six-foot PVC pipe was beyond me. At the last Event I had seen her at, I told … Continue reading Bunch Of Savages In This Town! →

Over the last couple of weeks, I've stumbled over a few flat magnet caches. The weird thing about that is less the existence of them, but rather the frequency that I've seen them lately. They're not exactly all over the place to begin with, so it feels like finding so many at the same time … Continue reading How Do Magnets Work? →
