I almost thought this would be a DNF. I had forgotten my printout of the log page, but had the coords in my PDA. I parked at the picnic area as I had remembered that. My GPS was pointing me to the other side of the road though. I didn’t see a way to get to the spot directly so I ended up walking down a dirt road a dozen or so yards up the road. I came across a large field and it looked like the cache was in the middle of it. As I was walking along the field (which turned into a swamp in some areas) I found paths in the tall grass where someone (or something) had been before. I chalked this up to other geocachers and was more convinced I was on the right path. Well, the field ended up against a wall of bushes and I was still 80′ away. I did a quick scout of the area in case the cache might be on this side of the wall, but didn’t find anything, so through the wall I went. On the other side was a full-blown swamp with fallen trees everywhere. You can get across most of the swamp by these trees so I equated this with the “Hamster Cage” name. After about 20 minutes of searching I found nothing. Re-checked the coords. and they were right on. I was on top of it. When I was about to give up I switched my GPS over to UTM and saw that those coords. didn’t match up with my GPS. In fact, the UTM coords. said the cache was right by my car, where I started. Back through the bush wall and across the field and down the dirt road back to the picnic area I went. And sure enough the cache was right by my car. I took a matchbox car and left a KFC game piece.
Poker Tournament at the Moose Lodge in Rutland, VT.
Ok, you know all the stuff I said about online poker being rigged? Well I take it all back. I saw the same shit happen in real games today. I lasted 2 1/2 hours. I don’t know what place I finished, but about half the field was gone. During the first hour I was playing really good. I had built up to about 4,000 chips (from 2,000) and had not had a showdown at all. Then the beer started kicking in. Not me, I was drinking tea. I’m talking about the other people at the table, including one guy very drunk guy who didn’t know the game *at all* and said to me during the first break “It doesn’t matter what cards you have because you have no idea what the flip will be!” I just agreed with him as I thought I wanted him playing any two cards. Well, the first hand back from the break I was in BB and got AKs. I like that. There were a couple of early limpers and the SB, Mr. “Any two cards”. I raise to 4xBB, and the early limpers fold. Mr. “Any Two” calls. The flop comes A-K-7 rainbow. Yes! SB checks, I bet out strong, SB calls. hmmm. Turn brings a 9. SB bets the minimum, leaving him about 200. I raise him that. He turns over 96o. “I’ve got a pair” he says. River comes another 9. Ugh. A few hands later I get QQ in mid-late position. UTG had already raised 2xBB, so I re-raise. Everyone folds and he calls. Flop comes rags. I bet out. He calls. Turn comes a rag. No flush or straights on the board I bet enough to put him all-in. He calls and turns over high card Ace. And the other A comes on the river. I then go completly cold and get blinded away until my last 300 are in the BB. I don’t even bother looking at my cards until the Mr. “Any Two” in the SB calls me. I have AQs. Alright. He has 34o. Alright. Flop comes 334. Alright. Fitting end to my day.
The first part of Sunghee’s final hearing was yesterday. It was only supposed to be one day, but the other side took their sweet time lying and getting trapped in their own testimony. Here’s some of the highlights:
The other side presents a photo book showing how good of a father Chucky is, how he takes CJ out on trips and stuff. One small problem is that CJ isn’t smiling in *any* of the pictures. Another problem is that CJ therapist had testified that CJ must wear his braces at all times during the day, except when bathing or sleeping at night. Oh, he’s not wearing his braces in any of these pictures. Bad dad. There’s also pictures of them on a motor boat with nobody, including CJ, wearing life preservers.
Sunghee should not be allowed to have CJ on holidays because she’s from “another country” and doesn’t understand “American” holidays like Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. Sunghee is Catholic. She is well aware of Christian holidays and Korean Thanksgiving is the same as American Thanksgiving.
Some mystery women, Mindy, who’s been Chucky’s “best friend for 14 years” testified about how bad a mother Sunghee is. Sunghee has never seen this woman before. Mindy also testified that she’s gone with Chucky a few times to pick up CJ and saw Sunghee assault him. Now, I’ve actually been in attendance every time CJ was dropped off and I’ve never seen anyone with Chucky except for his Mother and step-father. Chucky doesn’t even show up half the time. She also testified that she knew who I was because she saw me sitting outside the court room earlier. I was at work all day, I didn’t get called into court.
Audri Cox, who was CJ’s baby sitter for six months testified for the other side claiming that Sunghee never showed her how to take of CJ’s braces and that Chucky had called and told her that CJ must have his braces taken off when he naps. Wait, didn’t CJ’s therapist already say that the braces must be kept on during the day? Bad dad. She also testified that she stopped allowing CJ to come because Sunghee threatened her. The truth is that Sunghee fired Audri because CJ would get in fights with Audri’s nephew, who was also in day care, and Audri had too many kids so she couldn’t keep an eye on all of them. A month later Audri asked Sunghee to make her Christmas cards and gave her a picture of her and her family in front of their new pickup truck. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t ask somebody that had threatened me a month before to make me Christmas cards.
