Dorothy:  Do you know where Marilyn lives?  I don't recall seeing her since the 35th or 40th reunion and was concerned about her then because she was moving to some religious commune.  I don't recall getting any updated info on her.

Johnny:

Get there about 7 and I'll meet you at the pool in the lower left corner of the picture.  If I'm not by the pool, go on in and make yourself at home.  Mix a couple of drinks and I'll be right back.

Hey, it's always a pleasure to see Barry show up and post a bit - even at my expense. Charlotte, I'll have to go see what Dru has posted. Generally, I avoid her FB page.
 
Tomorrow promises to be an interesting morning. The local geocaching group is hosting a Flash Mob event to celebrate the 11/11/11 phenomenon. We are to meet at Northshore Park at Lake Woodlands at 11:00am. Here is the description:
 
1) Arrive in the general vicinity of the cache coordinates approximately about eleven minutes early. Do not come closer than 111 feet to the cache coordinates. You or someone on your geocaching team must have a GPS or cell phone in hand.

2) At precisely 11:11:11am, you will hear a loud sound. Immediately, let out your best yell (Tarzan, howl, etc.) and run towards the coordinates with your GPS or cell phone held high. If you're not into yelling or running, just casually walk on over; we don't really care if you want to make a spectacle of yourself or not.

3) Upon reaching the listed coordinates, sign the log book.

4) After about 11 minutes, we will all assemble for a group picture. After picture taking, the event will be officially over. After that, feel free to catch up on things with geocachers you already know and meet some “newbies” as well.

5) Log this event as “attended” online at www.geocaching.com.

 

Should be an interesting social experiment! Barry, here's a map in case you want to swing south and take it in:

 

Flash Mob gathers here!

Just giving Johnny a hard time.  I've warned him about going out alone to remote areas at night.  Never know what or who you will find.  I guess my humor was not that funny but is was all in jest.  Johnny never takes me serioously and neither should anyone else.

Johnny:  Don't call me one night after getting arrested for leaving a suspicious package somewhere.  I will not pay your bail!  Someone will put something dangerous in a box and mark it "geocache" and people will get hurt.  Geocachers and Occupiers, all the same.  A drain on society for no good reason.  Geocaching should not be allowed until everyone has a government supplied GPS.  Ever think about the poor people that want to play but can't afford a GPS?  I would like to play, but without a GPS what's the point.  It would take forever to find anything and then I wouldn't remember how to get home.  You rich people are all alike!

And, I thought Marty was a bear......

   Thanks, for clearing that up. I've been reading past comments and remember reading Vickie bear comments. Marty was still in my mind but couldn't remember his last name, even though I had geometry class with him.
    merci again, have a good evening.

Let me get this straight ... so you're sayin' that wasn't a REAL bear?!

Marty Smith was the bear our senior year.  Vickie Ballard was the bear in '62.

Mike, I may have to leave the phone today and do some geocaching. I need to find 9 more caches to hit the 300 milestone! Last night a new hidden cache was published and six of us showed up in the dark at 8:00pm to search for it. Even with all those eyes, it took 30 minutes to find it. The cache container was a fake sprinkler head at a little park.
 
A growing problem with geocaching is that newcomers forget to label their caches as a "geocache". Then when some non-geocacher stumbles upon the suspicious looking parcel (like an ammo can or a pipe wrapped in camo tape), things go awry as in this story from Midland, TX:
 
http://www.newswest9.com/Global/story.asp?s=8756390

There have been numerous accounts of bomb squads being called to "detonate" the devices - only fto find they were filled with cheap toys instead of explosives.
 
As a cache-hider the rules of the game prohibit hiding a cache near a school, public building, bridge, utility plants, military bases, National Parks, near railroads or on private property without the owner's consent. Still, there are always new players who don't quite get it.
 
Here's a pic of my 3rd hidden cache, appropriately labeled so that when the bomb squad shows up they can identify it as non-threatening and stand down.
 
"Butch's Muggle Baffler"

Marty Smith (no relation) WAS the bear.  JS is makin' up stuff!  He is mad because that Kardashian chick has moved on.

Marty was particularly bad about spreading that story about him being the "bear". But in reality for most of our senior year, the bear was an actual trained bear. Could even perform what looked like a bit of a little dance now and then.

 I've been thinking again, for another change, does anyone re-member who the mascot was, 62, 63? While we're wracking our brains, here is a list that has been on my mind:
'Butch' Holland  61
Darlene Marshall Phillips 63 and Jimmy Phillips 60 or 61
Mickey Webb 61 or 62
Mike Hilley 61 or 62
Annette Miller Dunne 63
Teresa Pair Potter 63 
Charlotte Dawson and the Mascot 62-63
Barbarb, Linda and Carolyn Nix  58-60 they also had a much younger brother.
Rita Perkins 63
Janet Whatley 63
Rosalie Brothers or Brotherton 63
Donna Franklin 63????????
 Thanks, for mulling this over, and for being there. Will think of more later I'm sure.  Have a wonderfilled weekend.

Barry,
God Bless you for doing that.

I've helped with three Habitat houses in the past few years, and was able to visit with the new homeowners in each case. It's great to see how excited they are, and sure gives you a "warm, fuzzy" feeling.

JS:  I'm afraid second would be a stretch.

I haven't chimed in for a while and just wanted to wish everyone a great weekend.  Don't forget to fall back Sat night!

Working on a Habitat house tomorrow.  Finishing up the rafters and starting on the decking.

Sorry JS, but it appears that you will be relegated to at least second on Kim's waiting list. Reports are that she has already rekindled her relationship with Miami Dolphins running back, Reggie Bush.

The gal sure moves fast for someone who was, in her own words, in love. Married for 72 days, and separated for just a few ...

I feel sure Kim'll hit the phones as soon as she returns from her daily Botox appointment.

Guess I'll slip out and run some errands.
 
For three days I've been faithfully waiting by the phone for a call from the angelic Kim Kardashian. She's back on the market you know.

You and your life coach Rodriguez have plenty to celebrate today, JS. That's some rock you two dug up! Sorry about the titanium, but it really looks like you hit the jackpot here.

Mike, congrats on the Garrett detector gift. Yesterday me and two buddies went to a home in Oak Ridge North to search a backyard for a lost men's Titanium ring. At first I was leery of accepting the assignment since, as most of you know, that is the same "ore" that causes Superman to go into convulsions as the energy ebbs from his body while Lex Luthor cackles in the background.

We fired up the metal detectors and eventually we did find "a ring", but not THE ring. On a whimsey I dug a "quarter" signal at 3-4 inches down and suddenly a roundish shape appeared. It was too silvery to be the sought after Titanium with a black stripe.

I eased the ring out of the ground and gently brushed aside the dirt. It had a HUGE heart shaped stone and the heavy band indicated .925 silver. At the top of the ring were 6 little cut-out heart shapes. Doubtful that the stone is valuable, but it was a kick to find. (hope the pic doesn't crash the formatting)

Found silver, not Titanium

Should any of you want some Halloween candy, please let me know.  I have a ton of the good stuff left over.  Only had about 20 tykes last night and they were all dressed really cute.  It's the first time in years that I haven't had at least 50 or more, but this year there weren't any groups of teenagers, for a change.  Maybe my neighborhood is changing and I just haven't paid enough attention!

Mike Peters, what part of PA do you live?  I have relatives in Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Montrose.  Love to visit but Texas is my home.

C'mon, Martha.  You've never been thrown out of a classier joint than this one.  It was that kid Lonnie and his wide lens that did it.  Blame it on him!
 
Mike, if that thing's a Garrett, it has to be good.  You will have so much fun with it!

To Geo Johnny:  Wife is going to surprise me with the Garrett metal detector for Christmas.  However, I won't use it till the spring-thaw, since our ground will be very white and about 6" to 8" additional cover till then.  Can't wait to use it.

Yup, we got a lot of pre-Halloween snow on 10/29.  However, it melted pretty quick where I live in PA.  If anyone watched the Penn State football game, you saw the storm pictures, OMG. Back to normal this week.
