I have been out geocaching. (I am taking pictures while I’m out looking around). I’m having a lot of fun with my boy looking for the caches. I have not been to this sight much lately.

I just read an advertisement about how the US government is giving away 10 million a month in grants, click here to see how you can get your government grant that never has to be repaid?
Sorry folks, money doesn’t grow on trees, I know they can print all the money they want, (and they are), everyone is going to have to repay those loans, along with all the other spending going on right now. Not to rain on the parade, but I’ve paid taxes for a long time. I see where my money goes and how most of it is wasted by incompetents.

I just wanted to pay tribute to the greatest gamer of all time.
Ernest Gary Gygax
July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008
He turned idle daydreams into something more. He taught us how to use our imagination. I’m thankful for all he sacrificed to make gaming what it is today.

Hope everyone has a great Year!
