Visited 'Oxbow' again (for a travel bug), found the 'NLCN (No Library Card Needed)' cache, cancelled Netflix, website's still a little broken, but I'm working on it, visited the 'KR1365' benchmark (again) for photos, found the 'Dry Creek Map' and 'Miss Reno Rodeo 1937' caches (Esther Bennett was the very first Miss Reno Rodeo), had my very first geocache placement attempt (a webcam cache) rejected by the powers that be at Geocaching.com. Dorks. Back to the drawing board.   =(

Only got in six (6) movies during our free Netflix trial period (Die Another Day, Daddy Day Care, Bear in the Big Blue House: Tide Time, Piglet's Big Movie, Men in Black II, and Shanghai Knights) - the 14 days is a joke, since it takes like 5 days just to get your account set up and the first one mailed off to you. And then you waste several days because they send you your first three all at once, and you start sending them back, but you've already watched all of the first three and sent them all back before you get the 4th one, and then with the snail mail delay and everything, there's no way someone could watch 14 movies in 14 days.

On 10/2/2003, I ate a Puntini Menta Fresca (made in Italy - 2.5 calories) that I've had sitting in a box for a decade (no joke). It was actually quite refreshing.

Geocaching has been causing me allergies. I'm normally not allergic to anything, but I think that might be changing. There are some really stinky weeds out there amongst the sagebrush. Tried the Wal-Mart generic brand (Great Value) version of Grape Nuts. Not as good as the original, but still not too bad.

Ben (the Chinese guy) gave me some White Stevia Powder (an herbal sweetener) to try. It's alright, but makes Kool-Aid taste a little funny - my pink lemonade kinda tasted like a plant. It's supposed to be a sugar replacement, but I think it's a little too expensive to compete, much like Splenda, Xylitol, and Erythritol (all four of which are Aspartame-free, zero calories, and safe for diabetics).

General Conference via Internet. Good stuff.
