Comments: Yeah, and the beautiful red wildflower is only "paint brushes" now...how far do we have to take this PC?
Comments: Jack, maybe Indian Springs was named for the citizens of Mumbai???
Comments: Wow, John. As a PC person, I can't believe that you went to a place called Indian Springs Shopping Center!!
Comments: John, somehow I think this new obsession of yours is going to ultimately end up badly, when you enter a lot,yard, etc. where the owner isn't aware of the game
Comments: You couldn't get away with fumbling around the bases of light poles in Dallas, Geo Johnny. We have too many copper thieves stealing the copper cable out of them. At least, that's the excuse we're given when reporting that the streetlights are out for miles-long stretches! And, God knows, you would be taking your life and liberty in your hands by daring to open a pill bottle concealed there.
Comments: I'm writing to the President to suggest Geo Johnny and Geo Dru for the Bin Laden case!
Comments: I got word of a new geocache that had been hidden back on Oct. 19th. This morning Dru and I plugged in the GPS coordinates and went in search of it. The GPS took us about 4 miles to the Indian Springs shopping center. We parked the car and were quickly with 6 ft. of GZ (Ground Zero)[at "ground zero" means you are zero ft. from your destination]. What faced us was a little wooded thicket, lots of ground cover and a light pole? We focused on the light pole since it was the dominant feature. Looked all around it. For no particular reason we tried to lift the metal housing at the base of the pole and WHAMMO ... there was the cache! A very small Walgreen's pill bottle that housed a miniature log to sign and a neato PathTag (custom geo-coin). We were the 6th "finders" to sign the log. Our fourth successful hunt. 
Comments: Charlotte and the Temptations?
Comments: Can't really see us as The Supremes. More like Charlotte and The Vandellas!
Comments: Guess that leaves me out Lynell....haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Ouida, Sara, Gaylan, Sara, Jud, Phil, Sandra, Bill, Patricia, Peaches, Kathleen, John,Shannon and numerous others?...uh...who will step up to this challenge? Oh, my parents tried, but, it was a lost cause! 
Comments: Ms. Ferraro looks like she could kick the behind of anyone in D.C. at the moment. Too bad her husband had issues. She would be nice to have around. The SOC Honor Roll Cluster would make up a fine bunch of Supremes. Despite the pouring rain. there's been a steady turnout at the polling place across the street. Haven't seen any expired paper tags. God Bless the honest poll sitters. That must be gruelling.
Comments: You may be that too, but too much is what I meant!
Comments: John, you are just toooo mcuh!!!! I am still laughing!
Comments: John & Phyliss, I'm not sure about the big corporations donations, since the Dems are outspending the Reps. I guess it is the same unnamed donors that Obama refused to release, or is it the Chinese nuns for Clinton ?Or Chinagategate Johhny Chung for Kerry or 400000 dollars from dishwashers in NYC citys poorest section for Hillary? hmmm
Comments: I went back to my cedar chest and dusted off some of my old campaign buttons - thereby, recalling that in the voting booth, I tend to be a danger to myself and those around me.
Comments: I'm voting anyway. What the heck! It's probably the last American election that won't be totally -- previously, they've just been partially -- bought and sold by corporate interests, since the Supreme Court gave corporations greater free speech rights than natural persons. It may be a fruitless -- merely symbolic -- gesture, but it's our only meaningful opportunity to have a voice in our government.
Comments: I am picturing 'Ol Tax and Spend Bill White--Thank you very much      
Comments: Ahem ... Lynell, that is not a "shrunken head". It is a replica of Jose G. Posada's illustration titled Lagartijo. To Posada, the figure represented Mexico's fat-cat politicans of the 1880's strutting around with their big cigars, walking sticks and fancy footwear. Today, one would visualize Rick Perry with a hat on. 
Comments:  I am totally creeped out by JS's shrunken head collection starter piece!
Comments: Voting is no longer in the unwashed hands of the "public". Wisely, it is best left to the Corporations and major business interests to make those decisions in our behalf (thereby saving us the expense of a trip to the polls). Don't forget November 2nd is also Dia de los Muertos - a day to celebrate the lives and memories of our deceased friends and family members. To this end, I acquired some art pieces inspired by Jose Guadalupe Posada. In the late 1800's he created the skeletal likenesses of Catrina and Lagartio which have been assimilated into the holiday celebration. 
Comments: John S trying to get a rise out of us? noooooo, not the John. It worked tho, didn't it?John, I am enjoying your adventures. Sounds fun!
Comments: Barry, I'm with you. But I suspect that Indiana Southworth was fully tongue-in-cheek.
Comments: In spite of John's comments, it is our Patriotic duty to vote. What if everyone had John's attitude? Think about it. Personally, I'm glad John is not voting because that means my vote will count that much more. Whether you are a conservative or a mis-guided liberal like Johnny, get off your duff tomorrow and vote. Take your metal detector with you and see how many Democrat campaign buttons you can find in the dirt.
Comments: Phyllis, haa. I like the way you think. Cynthia, I thought the doc's comment was tacky. My tolerance for baloney must have been low that day!  JS, WTG! That sounds like fun -- and calamine lotion will help with that poison ivy rash!
Comments: Well, Lenell, I knew it was a sign of age when doctors -- and cops -- appeared too young to us, but I didn't realize that the corrollary was true: that they, in turn, regarded us as having one foot in the grave. The best revenge, of course, is just to outlive them! That's my plan, at least, and I'm sticking to it.
Comments: What an interesting adventure John! That is really so cool. Funny comeback Lynell - did you happen to notice how small the print it on Sharon's post compared to yours? Just saying....interesting.
Comments: Have any of you out there ever done any "Geocaching"? Yesterday I completed my first two successful discoveries. Geocaching is a sort of high-tech treasure hunt, essentially utilizing expensive military satellites and GPS receivers to locate camo-covered tupperwear containers (or ammo boxes) containing mystery loot. In my case, I went online to www.geocashing.com, registered (it's free), and entered my home address to see if there were any caches (pronounced "cashes") near me. To my surprise there were nine hidden caches within 1 mile of my home and 40 of 'em within 2 miles. I entered the GPS coordinates for a cache named "On Gosling Pond" and set out to find it. It was a challenge, but finally found it stashed in a hollow tree stump, covered with big chunks of bark and surrounded by brambles in a thicket next to a really pretty pond. The container was covered with camo-material and held misc. trinkets, toys, a (timely) copy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and a log to sign. It is customary to remove an item of your choice; but in turn you must leave something of equal or greater value. I took a nifty small car and left a snazzy Compass Rose geocoin. Signed and dated the log, re-hid the container and gave myself a "self high-five". 
Comments: How wonderful that you are doing so well. My ophthmologist told me I have the beginnings of cataracts but they won't be "ripe" for another five years. He added that he knew at my age one doesn't make plans five years ahead. I asked him if he had a warranty that he will be here in 2015. He looked taken aback. I'm shopping for another doc! Enjoy those peepers, Sharon!! 
Comments: I can see again. Had cataract surgery Tuesday morning and am back at work. It really is a miracle. Jan's service was very sweet and I'm really going to miss her.
Comments: Perhaps John is not voting because he has no one to vote for...hmmmm? Don't cha just love these little faces?I wish I had heard that rendition of our National Anthem....I am ALWAYS impress when a singer is respectful and sings it as you say you heard it Lynell. I am getting used to a new computer tonight.......finally broke the piggy bank and bought a new desk top and laptop...yea! But, ol gals learn slowly! |
