Now, if you're thinly veiling an accusation that I'm lying, come out and say
so.  I've exchanged several e-mails with the person who informed me, and
don't have any reason to doubt the authenticity at this point.

Not at all, Brian. I didn't even realize you were the one who posted the original info about that fire. I'm just saying, I don't always take everything I read here for the gospel truth. You didn't mention your source for the info about Squishy Gecko and, unless it is ''straight from the horses mouth'' (e.g. a relative or very close friend) then I think it qualifies as ''hearsay.'' I intended no harm or disrespect.

As another example; in 1969 I watched on a small black and white television as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. None other than Walter Cronkite told me so. That also turned out to be ''hearsay'' as the venerable Mr. Cronkite wasn't actually there on the moon and I've only recently learned it was all a hoax. ;-)

Geez man...you ARE alive!

I swore I would never pay more than $2.00 /gallon for gas to go geocaching. When gas reached that price this past spring, I stopped caching (cold turkey!) Since the price has gone back down (and up again) I've been too busy with other projects at home to do any caching. I did get a chance to do a bit this past week, though.
