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.

bush Ducks Questions About the War on Shoes

This just in, bush has declared war on all shoes. He has launched air strikes against Nike and Adidas. He said moments ago, in a press conference (one in which all the reporters were barefoot) that either you are with him or against him, and that the wearing of all footwear by US citizens is unpatriotic. The patriot act is to be modified immediately to state anyone caught wearing shoes outside of their homes automatically give up all their rights, and can be searched with out reason and detained indefinitely.










Too bad the shoe wasn't loaded. Out of all the strapped on explosive device wearing, IED chucking suicide bombers, we have to get the one who forgot to light the fuse. Oh well just 40 more days or so and then people can start throwing their clothing at Obama. Oh wait, a lot of people are already throwing their underwear at the rock star.
