Yesterday, I went for my daily cache and one of the little gnomish freaks snuck up on me! Grrr!!! You have to remain ever vigilant lest they ruin you and all you love! Besides, I can only shake my fist at the heavens so much in defiance of gnomish indignity!The next thing major thing looming … Continue reading Just When You Least Expect It →

No, I'm not talking about the band. I'm talking about International Postcard Day! And, of course, a dozen of us celebrated it down here with an Event! To be entirely honest, I'm not entirely sure if it was on the day because there's another one being put on by different folks today in Bryan of … Continue reading The Postal Service →

So I was in L-Town visiting the Girls. I remembered from before that one of my Jasmer holes was in nearby Tyler and I decided to drag them out to go grab it. That didn't happen, though. It's hard to engage a plan when other people are involved when they don't know there's a plan … Continue reading Something I Did →

Yesterday, I went out and got another challenge because, as much as I dislike gnomes, I dislike unfinished spaces in digital collections more, probably because my brain is cracked in just a certain way. I traditionally collect challenges so that I've got something to log on a bad day. Consequently, I've got a healthy number … Continue reading All The Things I Haven’t Done →

My comically antagonistic relationship with gnomes was originally spurred by interactions regarding them from a video game a thousand years ago. It is known of among my oldest friends but not so much by the newer caching friends I have made. Yes, I had a life before geocaching came along, one dotted with things just … Continue reading Gnomish Hegemony →

This was a weekend of peopling for me. Saturday was the second annual TXGA CITO Across Texas. A number of CITOs happened all across the state at the same time so that we were all relieving the burdens of Mother Earth together in spirit or something like that. I don't know entirely how many there … Continue reading C.A.T. Dos And Other Things →

I parked on a neighborhood street by a neighborhood park to go get my daily cache. I bypassed another cache on the way because I saw in the last finder's log that it involved a hundred-foot bushwhack to get to it and didn't feel like getting that into things. I chose poorly.After a walk along … Continue reading The Thorn Birds →

Don’t tell anyone, but Monday was my birthday.  I don’t usually do anything special for it; I don’t consider it anything more than another day for most purposes. Under normal circumstances, I would have just gone to work.  But when I got a call from Razorbackgirl asking if I wanted to go grab some caches, … Continue reading Down Where The Tex Meets The Mex →

The Girls came down to visit from L-Town as they are wont to do. And, of course we had to go out and find caches. A couple of days ago, we decided to stop on the way to dinner to find one in a small island park on the edge of a wealthy part of … Continue reading My Grasp Exceeds Its Reach →

I'm about to touch on a subject I usually avoid, not only because it's unseemly to discuss in public under most circumstances, but also because ... well, you'll see. I don't tend to discuss my politics. I'm sure that a lot of people who have read my previous writings can suss out my general position … Continue reading Veneer →
