The Hunt
Not for eggs but for little microcaches. In lieu of the traditional Easter egg hunt, Mrs. Death and I went out and about town geocaching this afternoon. Found five in fairly short order, signed the logs, and re-hid 'em; only a thousand or so left to go in town. Today, the neatest one was in Green Hill Cemetery, a very old graveyard with loads of character. And no, the cache was not in a grave; no one wants to have their cache muggled by a corpse.
Pounded out a short-short tale this afternoon that I've been mulling over for a few days. Had an idea that was almost coming together, and today it finally did. Done, submitted, and fingers X'd.
This is the first Easter in I don't know how many years—probably since I lived in Chicago in the 80s—that the whole family didn't get together for at least the day. Circumstances conspired to keep us apart this year, but I did get to see my mom and brother (and find geocaches) last weekend. That was nice.
The grass got high this weekend. I foresee mowing in the nearest of futures...

Maybe it's just me...but doesn't putting OFFICIAL GEOCACHE DO NOT DISTURB on that little tube just about guarantee that anyone with a proclivity for fucking with things is going to mess with it? Kind of like putting a sign on your ass that says DO NOT KICK ME!
Just saying.

Almost certainly. That's why my caches always read "Guarded by the minions of Cthulhu. Touch at your own risk."
I was thinking more along the lines of "Hanta Virus - if found return to nearest medical facility and then shower - like eighty times - with Turpentine...

That would be fun, but it would probably also get Homeland Security involved.
