Charley damage. Note that through the arches the debris you see is the roof.

GeoCaching

I ran across a new game/sport, Geocaching, It is fun (though often a bit frustrating). The Idea is to go to the website at Geocaching.com and find the location and GPS settings of a cache. Then use your GPS to go searching. I don't own a GPS but after looking at some of the locations. I figured I would try my luck at finding some of them without a GPS. It was a bit frustrating because we were (apparently) walking right by them and not seeing them. One difficulty is that you don't always know what kind of container you are looking for and where it may be hidden (the GPS can get you within 3 meters, around 9 feet). but with some persistance we did finall find one. We plan to go looking again for some of the ones we didn't find. One of the real attractons of this for me is that if i go to a new city the folks who hid the caches there most likely hid them in really neat places to go and look for them. Looking forward to playing this game for a long time. I hope to bump into you out there on the search.

Trying to get back in the swing.

Sorry for anyone who reads this blog. I have not been posting regularly at all. I am considerng the future of it in fact. I will be posting more regularly but may shift my focus somewhat decidedly. I am thinking about going to mainly gaming and photos. I play a lot of games and am helping to design a few and I love to take pics. I have a camera phone and now that Blogger has a mobil option I am planning to try it out. I think I will do some of the pix and ad comments to them. As for game i will be doing some reviews and recommendations. Some of the Game I will be blogging are:

  • Fluxx

  • Button Men

  • Aquarius

  • Icehouse (and games involving Icehouse pieces

  • Give Me The Brain

  • Lord Of The Fies


Just to get started.
Have Fun!
