Nancy, Thanks for mentioning the story about President Carter & the rabbit. I was curious, so I looked it up. Very interesting story. If there is anyone else out there not familiar with this story, there is a good write-up here: http://www.narsil.org/politics/carter/killer_rabbit.html Thystle, There used to be a cache called International Space Station (GCC349). You got to claim it as a find by spotting the ISS in the sky, and posting your coordinates. ( http://esa.heavens-above.com/esa/iss_step1.asp?nored=1 will show you when & where to find the crossing of the ISS near your location.) It had to be archived because it was a locationless (or reverse) cache. I think it would be great if someone could figure out how to incorporate this information into a puzzle cache. We have some incredibly clever and creative people on this list. Anybody up for the challenge?

I rarely do much of anything much inspiring. Don't know where you are, but where we are, we had some rather enormous snowflakes -- big enough to blot out the sun at arm's length. Didn't President Carter also see a swimming rabbit? Hey ... were you in the planetarium business October 14, 2006? A few of us would like to know what was in the northeastern sky over rural Lewis County Missouri that night ...

President Carter supposedly sent some airforce pilot chasing after it before being told he was looking at an Earth-sized planet. When I was in the planetarium biz, it, and the ISS, were our most commonly reported UFOs. Definitely larger than a snowflake. Now you've done it. Someone needs to place an astronomy-themed puzzle cache! -Thystle From: "tnsl" <sydstyr@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Venus and Jupiter Converge! Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2008 07:22:21 -0600 Oh yeah .. Venus was behind that snowflake right .. there and Jupiter behind that one over .. there. Nancy
