Welcome to my World of Wonderment

Our planet is a neat place, full of weird and unusual people doing weird and unusual things. One oddball thing I like to do is geocache. What other activity is there that makes people travel hundreds of miles to climb a mountain, wade a river, and fight a Bigfoot, just to be the first person to sign a piece of paper rolled up in a 35mm film canister stuffed in the knot hole of a tree? I can't think of any other sport that has such a great mix of technology and the wonderful outdoors. A lot of geocaches are placed in a beautiful setting, or hidden in a challenging or unique way, or in a historical setting. Geocaching allows the finder to share in some of the hiders favorite places, and along the way you get to meet some interesting characters, and occasionally learn something new. While this blog is primarily a geocaching blog, I also use this place to post the occasional funny video or weird news story, or as a platform to rant or rave about something I really have to share. But for the most part this website is about you, the weirdo walking around in circles, talking into your GPS unit like it's a phone, pretending your taking pictures of a phone booth to find find the tiniest micro-cache, or circling your car around and around a light pole in a parking lot trying to retrieve a cache without even getting out of your car.

Juggling

I recently came across these videos that had made the rounds through the interwebs a few years ago. I thought I should share in case you missed them the first few go arounds. The first video is comedian Chris Bliss doing an outstanding job juggling to the Beatles song Golden Slumbers.



This next video is Jason Garfield, doing a somewhat hateful video in response to the fame Chris Bliss garnered for the previous video.



This kind of seems like to me the band Oasis trying to make fun of the Beatles. Yes Jason Garfield is very talented, but Chris Bliss did it first. Garfield may be able to do 5 balls, but Bliss was doing this in front of a live audience with out multiple takes like Garfield. Either way they are both fun to watch, but neither one is Kris Kremo.
