    Just a heads-up that the linked policy references Buxley’s maps which are no longer current.

    Darn. Two days away from Baby Day. I don’t think Mrs. Cheesehead will be in any shape to travel by then…

    It’s also worth it for the Adblock extension. It can eliminate many of those annoying Flash ads and advertising banners you see.

    Yet another reason to switch to Firefox!

    Maybe this will kill this thread once and for all…

    Steven and Sam Clam were good friends in the ocean, even though Steven was very devout and religious and Sam liked to drink and party. They got along well, and despite Steven’s efforts to witness to Sam, he never made a decision. Eventually they both died. Steven, of course, went to heaven and Sam went to Hell.

    One day St. Peter notices Steven sitting next to the street of Gold, playing the blues on his harp, looking a little down.

    “Is everything all right?” he asks the sorrowful shellfish.

    “Well, it’s not that heaven isn’t great,” he replies, “but I really miss my buddy Sam. We were really good friends and I’m sad about being eternally separated from him now.”

    “I understand,” said St. Peter. “We don’t usually allow this, but in your case, because you did try so hard to win Sam over, I will let you have a 24-hour pass to go see him. You must be back in time, however.”

    “Really? You can do that? That would be great. Thank you so much!” Steven says and takes off to visit his buddy.

    Upon his arrival in Hell Steven is a little taken aback. It wasn’t quite the suffering he had expected. In fact Sam seemed to be doing fairly well. He had his own nightclub which played music from the 70’s and many other inhabitants of Hell seemed to enjoy going there. Steven even sat in with the band for a few numbers on his harp. Sam and Steven talked and talked and soon it was time for Steven to return to heaven. With only minutes to spare, Steven returned to the Pearly Gates.

    “Did you have a good visit?” inquired St. Peter.

    “Yes, I did, thank you.” Replied Steven. He then got a look of panic over his face and exclaimed, “But I’ve got to go back! I’ve got to go back!”

    “Why? I told you you could only have 24 hours.”

    Steven replied, “I left my harp, in Sam Clam’s Disco……”

    Apparently, if we can get at least ten people going, we can get the WGA logo on the event page. I’m going for sure (site 68N). Make sure if you log a “will attend” you mention you’re coming from Wisconsin!

    Congrats! So when is he going out on his first caching trip? On the way home from the hospital?

    in reply to: the ultimate tool for bushwacking #1750992

    Although that kind of tosses “leave no trace” out the window…

    in reply to: Cache of the Year Honors….. #1737735

    It just occured to me that the last two CoTYs have been from Kenosha County.

    Does that make us a “hotbed”?

    in reply to: Cache of the Year Honors….. #1737729

    Congrats on the CoTY honors! Now I just need to get back there and find that final…

    in reply to: ipod #1740248

    GPSBabel can export files in VCF or vCard format which is what the iPod uses to store contact information. Export your caches like this, then dump them all into the Contacts folder to view them on your iPod.

    Disclaimer: I’ve never actually tried doing this, but others report that it works.

    I’d be glad to help. Drop me an email with more details about what you’re looking for.

    in reply to: Geocaching website down? #1737688

    It’s not just you. I can’t get on, and I just talked with Stunod down in IL and he can’t get in either. Happened around 5:00 this afternoon.

    Not only is the site down, but the forums are down as well. Since they’re on separate servers this seems like more than just a database issue. Hopefully they can figure it out soon or there’ll be a lot of annoyed PQ-less cachers this weekend.

    in reply to: Wowee!! #1748274

    I’m still curious about how they can ban virtual caches. If they see me copying numbers off a sign in the park, are they going to put me away?

    Sounds similar to the Caching Karma Stick as well.
