Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] A last word on Prices
I am waiting for the OIL/ Automobile companies that bought off all the
inventors of the 100mpg carburetors to announce that they developed a car
that goes 100mpg and makes our other vehicle obsolete thus having to buy a
new vehicle in which the Government collects more fees.

until then caching on the way that is not really out of the way I still need
exercise
