Well I did see a link about today (or tomorrow, can't recall) being International TB day.

Apparently it turns out to be tuberculosis.

You get a spam email headed "Administrador del sistema" and immediately start thinking plastic boxes.

...... you're searching for a cache in a very seedy Melbourne laneway.
The hint says it's in a hole in the wall but there are some covered by bags of garbage and cardboard boxes.
You move them and get down on your hands and knees in the filth and feel inside a hole. Just as your fingers touch something which feels like a blancmange regurgitated by a rat,
you look up and a pretty young girl walking past looks down at you with a "Poor old bastard" expression on her face, and you think
"What has my life become?" ...... and a DNF to boot!

When you finally get down to the 2nd last one, is that known as the "penultimate" one?

you spend all night before heading of to the mega setting up the decoration for your site and loading caches into your GPS, all before packing any cloths or food or other practical stuff.

You think its time to book a date with the optometrist to check for cataracts only to find your glasses are covered with cobwebs.

when you can see a cache container in just about everything you look at.
Like Diabetes Test strip containers(Which are slightly smaller then a 35mm film canister but better).

...you abstain from the wine at dinner [-( because you're heading out after to have a crack at a night-cache (again!)

AKA you go out in the cold and rain and dark for a night-cache instead of staying in with a nice port/brandy - and are looking forward to it too!... :mrgreen:
