Love many, trust few, harm none.-Yeo Man Did that dude rock or what?? Sending himself to Exile Island -- genius. Telling Earl clue #3-- WHAT was he thinking?? Pffffffffft Earl Shmearl ... maybe he'll think the taxes are already taken out I made "Heart Attack Snack" for breakfast for everyone in my back yard yesterday: Aldi sausage patty; fried egg, cheese, and mayo on an enriched flour white bun. Today we eat chicken and broccoli. We avoid caches that appear to require dismantling anything owned by Ameren UE or similar companies or appear to power more than one softball field or from which we could make illegal long distance phone calls.

I'm glad that parents would notice a suspicious person (doesn't have to be a man) wondering around "lost" or apparently dazed and confused near their kids. These parents should keep a close eye their kids under these or any circumstances. Does this mean that we should all avoid children and/or any area where we may encounter children? I think not. I love to swing on a swing-set and I"m 40 years old. I don't need a kid to use as my ticket for admission. I have my inner child for that. It takes a village to raise a child. They are our greatest resource. Do we want our next generation to learn to use rational thought or that hysterics should replace rational thought. Is it OK to repress a few individuals in order for the masses to maintain their illusion of security. I just read a news story about an unfortunate 4 year old girl who wondered out in the street and was hit by a car (the child is in the hospital and doing well, considering). Her parents are suing the city because they feel that the street is unsafe. Does this make sense? Shouldn't the parents have the ultimate responsibility to keep their 4 year olds out of the street regardless of if it's safe or not? Is there any such thing as a safe street? Maybe we should ban cars from driving in streets to ease the minds of the parents of all 4 year olds. It is important as a cache hider to recognize the impact that your cache will have on an area. Please no micros tucked inside a historic 150 year old stone wall with coords that are off by 60 ft and no clue. No tramping through flower beds to gain one more smiley, and no more clubbing unborn gay baby seals for Jesus. As for uneasy parents ... It comes with the territory. Be ever vigilant. We can not vilify a stranger just because we do not know their intentions. Keep an eye on them. Better yet, keep an eye on your kids. Love many, trust few, harm none.-Yeo Man IMHO, If you get to a cache location and there is something about it that makes you uncomfortable. Don't do it. Move on. There are only a few thousand caches in the area to choose from. There will be more tomorrow. p.s. I had a roast beef and cheddar sandwich with bacon for dinner (no veggies, you don't get a body like this by eating vegitables) ;-p
