Psych

I've decided to incorporate more psychic phenomena into my daily routine. To that end, all of my secret crime-fighting activities will follow the methodology endorsed by Shawn and Gus in this clip from Psych. Enjoy!

The end of 2008 saw us finally complete the Indiana DeLorme Challenge and the Indiana Epic 92 challenge caches, which we made our milestone 1,000th find. What a long, somewhat-strange series of journeys it was! Read all about it here.

Rainy Day

When I woke up this morning, it was nearly 60 degrees and raining. This song made its way into my iPod playlist, although I hadn't heard it in probably over a year. It was a nice reminder. Isaiah 53:3-6. Enjoy!

Back to 1988

So, in a moment of 80's hair-metal reverie, I purchased the new Guns N' Roses CD "Chinese Democracy" from Best Buy. Most of it is actually rather good, great guitars, Tommy Stinson on bass, interesting lyrics, quite melodic . . . still not sure what took 15 years, but whatever.

I thought I'd share this YouTube clip that features the second single from the CD, which I think is one of the best songs on the CD. So here's "Better." Enjoy. Rock on. :-)

Hemlock Cliffs

Yesterday, Seth and I joined our friends 69corvette, solarwib, Dr. Who & K-9, and The-MudSlingers for a Geocaching hike at Hemlock Cliffs, easily one of the most spectacularly-beautiful areas in the entire state of Indiana. It was a perfect day for a hike, as the area had received a dusting of snow that morning. Here's a picture of one of the sets of falls in its winter splendor:


We highly recommend you visit this area if you enjoy hiking in areas of boundless natural beauty. You'll see huge exposed sandstone cliffs, Hemlock trees and other flora and fauna that grow nowhere else in Indiana, and evidence of prehistoric peoples who lived in the caves and rock shelters in the area over 10,000 years ago. Simply fantastic!

Maggie Finds a Letterbox

While out searching for a new Geocache hidden by The-MudSlingers, Maggie happened upon a letterbox called "Boner Bridge" by The Toadfrogs. Luckily, we had our letterboxing "stuff" with us, so we traded stamps before heading on down the road to the next cache.

A Cruel Lie

The following Radio Shack commercial has been making the rounds:



But it's all a horrible, cruel lie! There is no Rudolph's Diner here! Only a Subway . . . and a pizza place . . . and even it's closed half the week for "winter" hours now! Why must this purveyor of electronic gadgetry torture us so? Why does it mock our diner-less state?

I've had enough. I must exact my revenge somehow. I'll go shop at Best Buy. Yeah, that's the ticket . . .
