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 →

Saturday evening, I attended an Event celebrating Team Bklyn (BklynTex1015 and TexBklyn1015) making their two thousandth find and one hundredth hide. This is especially impressive because the two of them have only been doing this for less than a year. It took me a year to reach a thousand. (I thought I was so high … Continue reading More Congratulations Are In Order →

I was sitting at home, getting ready to go to bed, when I realized something very important: I had almost forgotten to write an entry for today! I apologize for my near oversight. It's been a long day. I have had to take some trips out to Fredericksburg this week, and yesterday was one of … Continue reading I Almost Forgot! →

A couple of days ago, when it was time for my daily cache, I decided to go after a Letterbox Hybrid that I hadn't yet gotten. The biggest reason I hadn't gotten it up to that point is that it was located in a fairly affluent part of town, and I'm a little leery of … Continue reading Grace →

Saturday morning, I went out to get another FTF, the other cache placed by the same CO who provided the one I found last week with the girls. I left this one alone then for several reasons: it was in Austin proper (meaning it would be easy to get to), it was close to home, … Continue reading Another FTF, Now With More Annoyance! →
