Counting down to the WWFM III

Only a few days till the WWFM III! All around the world: Log sheets have been printed. Swag buckets have been filled. CDs have been burned. Bags of Kisses are ready to be deployed. Flashers are ready to Flash. We stand at the ready!

We look forward to attracting some positive attention and awareness out there about Geocaching and Geocachers! At our particular Flash Mob, we’ll be picking up any trash that is in the area, and handing out “Geocaching Info” flyers to passerby muggles. (That might someday join us as practitioners in the Art of Geocaching!)

The Sale of the WWFM III Commemorative Collectors GeoCoin (pictured here) ends on May 20th. It’s got the glow-in-the-dark lightning bolts, the flash bling, and sparkly rhinestones. Order them for yourself or a friend at coinsandpins.com. Don’t wait too long, they’ll be gone in a FLASH!!!

Evil Pokey Plants

I’m sure every part of the world has them. They are not in any particular Genus or Species of plant, but more like a characteristic qualifier: The Evil Pokey Plant. Not that all pokey plants are evil mind you. There are many a benevolent pokey plant out there I’m sure; those that do not poke ME for instance. Those that do their poking elsewhere or might be pokey in circumstances and conditions other than those I participate in (Geocaching!).

No my friends, I’m talking about those plants that poke me, stick me, splinter me and seem to do it with verve! They attach themselves to my person, then revel and savor the irritation, pain and annoyance they cause.

See the image for a closer view of the Evil Pokey Plant (EPP) that recently got us on our Kayak / Lake adventure (Show #163)
