G&V now would catch us at over 4200 caches in more than a year. That'll go back this week, but at least we had a day of this. It's not a competition, but I'd like to stay ahead of them at least the rest of this year.

After bowling yesterday we went out caching: The idea was to visit "The Tower Bridge and Stan Barr" which had involved downloading a masking program and then finding the March 31 paper (anything to avoid paying the $2.95 for the archived obituary!) and answering questions. Then the cache was off in a field of "Folsom Potatoes", rounded rocks from the hydraulic mining days. It was pretty neat camouflage... there were two patches of green grass that didn't look quite right, and I told Rich to check them out, and sure enough! There was a travel bug in there, too. Then we went looking on a bridge nearby for a premium cache (one G&V replaced, in fact!) and didn't find it. Finally (you know, I've been tireder than usual the last couple of weeks, and have no stamina at all) we went to a piece of mining equipment and picked up a well-hidden micro. OK, that's only two. Oh, well.

Today Rich gave blood in the morning and went to Sharing God's Bounty in the afternoon, and I just stayed home and worked a little on the house. I also spent a lot of time figuring out caches in Utah. The upshot was, this evening, I went to the Internet, clicked on a link, and nothing came up. I got rid of the Internet temp files and still nothing comes up. I virus checked and took off a trojan horse on an Outlook file (quelle suprise. There's a reason I don't use Outlook!) Still nothing. ARGH!

Advice for John Kerry.

Nursery Rhymes.

There's a comment at Lt. Smash about falling off of bikes:

Some differences that may or may not be important. 1)The Senator was on a street bike-on a paved street--the President was sixteen miles into a seventeen mountain bike ride on a dirt path.2)the Senator packed his bike in a van and rode home--the President continued on with his ride.

No word on whether or not the President, like Kerry, was wearing color coordinated lycra and a daisy zipper pull; but off hand I doubt it.
