There is a park close to us where we walk on the trails, we go almost every day. I know I mentioned them the last time we were here.  They have Geocaching in this park.  This year we found another Geocach

Up in a tree

Here is the tree

I was just looking around while we walked and there it was, just like the other one we found on the trial with the alligator.  Except this one you have to climb the tree some to get at the little box.  Needless to say I didn’t climb the tree to look in the box.  That’s all I need is to try to explain that to an ER doc.

So some of you might be wondering what Geocaching is?  That is where wonderful Google comes in.  If you ask Google, what is Geocaching……

Geocaching /ˈdʒiːoʊˌkæʃɪŋ/ is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, anywhere in the world.

A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook (with a pen or pencil). The geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little financial value, although sometimes they are sentimental. Geocaching shares many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure-hunting, letterboxing, and waymarking

This is why we love Google.  You can ask Google anything and it gives you the answer. When our Grand dog

Our Grand Dog

ate oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies at 12:00 midnight on the first night my daughter and her husband moved into their house.  So we first asked Google about dogs eating those type of cookies and were able to ascertain that this was very bad for the Grand dog.  Then we were able to learn the best thing to do is to make the dog throw up.  How the heck do you do that?  Well trying to avoid a very costly trip to the Emergency room at the vet, Google to the rescue.  We learned that one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide for every 10 pounds of animal will make them vomit.  So off to 24 hour Cub foods to get the $2.00 bottle of hydrogen peroxide.  20 minutes later, the Grand Dog was barfing up her midnight snack.  All was well.

We have learned so many interesting things on Google.  Sometimes there aren’t many people around here to talk to so we have to find other ways to amuse ourselves.  Asking Google meaningful questions has helped us pass the time.  We have learned that cats don’t fart. Apparently the muscles around their butt don’t constrict enough to allow them to make the farting noise.  It just flows out all day and all night.  So keep that in mind and watch out what you feed your cat!  That goes for you Smokie

Who me? I don’t fart!

We also watch Judge Judy.  As I worked for a law firm for 13 years I feel I need to keep up to date on the latest rules and laws and what better way than to watch Judge Judy?  If you watch with any regularity you’ll notice a young woman in the audience with long blond hair.  She is in quite a few of the shows, so we asked Google who she was and I’ll be darned if Google didn’t have an answer for us.  Apparently she is part of the TV crew.  They like to make sure the seats are all taken so the crew fill in.
