I am not the brightest tool in the shed, folks.* That is why, when I went to look for my cache a couple of days ago, I began to examine the tree firmly planted at GZ, examining the roots for niches, looking up into the branches for clips and zip ties. I walked around and … Continue reading Both Dumb And Mortified! →

This weekend has been a weekend like many others. The girls came down from L-Town, we hung around and did things for a few days, and then they headed back. Pretty boring from a macro perspective. On the other hand, there were two significant events from a caching perspective, the first being ... ... that … Continue reading Novel Monotony →

Yesterday, I found an Unknown related to the grave of an early record-holding baseball player. That would normally be worthy of an entry, but it's not what's on my mind at the moment. Most people who think about geocaching probably never even consider the word "geopolitics" in conjunction. Normally I don't either, but that doesn't … Continue reading Geopolitics →

A couple of months ago, I went to get a cache (a D1/T1) and signed what I thought was the log. The CO deleted my find, telling me that I only found the swag container, not the actual cache itself. It almost killed my streak (that I'm not officially keeping, but whatever), but I had … Continue reading Trivial Opinions →

A couple of nights ago, it rained. My grandfather told me stories about the falling sky water, but I never believed them. I thought they were just myths from the olden times, but no, I saw the miracle with my own eyes! Ok, maybe I'm being a little melodramatic about the rain, but I haven't … Continue reading Almost Pleasant →

But GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY! The SUN!!! Yesterday, I went out to find a cache. Walking down a path beside Lady Bird Lake (which I still call Town Lake, but I don't want to hear anyone complaining about proper geographic nomenclature), I was beginning to compose today's entry in my head. Because Austin's so-called lake is … Continue reading The Spirit Was Willing →

A couple of days ago, I was looking to pick up my daily cache. I usually go north or west for that, sometimes east. But I decided to do something a little different. I opted to go south across the river that divides Austin instead. For some reason (probably because of having to pass through … Continue reading Ex Libris →

I've never really felt in the past that I had the luxury of looking far into the future. When I was secure in my resources, I never felt as if I had the time to look too far, lest I lose what I had. When I had the time, resources were sorely lacking and I … Continue reading The Future of Megas (And Daughters) →

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been spending a lot of time in Gillespie County. I know this is going to blow your collective minds, but sometimes I have to tend to real-life stuff in the real world. It is sometimes annoying, but these things must be done. However, I have reached a … Continue reading That Business Has Concluded →

A couple of days ago, while in Fredericksburg, I visited a cemetery. This is nothing new, considering that my official cache for Gillespie County was in a cemetery. In this case, I opted for an older cemetery in the middle of town as opposed to the Catholic cemetery on the edge. As always, as I … Continue reading Es Gibt Immer Einen Friedhof →
