[Az-Geocaching] Best Route

Tue Jun 19 11:41:55 MST 2007

It so nice to see people use the word Christmas.  Having moved from the East
Coast to Missouri (and now to Arizona) I'm glad to see the trend reversing
where Christmas was demoted to "Winter Holiday" or "Seasons Greetings".
This age of PC  has, IMHO, ruined so many things.  There is nothing wrong to
being sensitive to others and their traditions but why did we have to lose
ours?  I see nothing wrong with a Merry Christmas or a Happy Chanukah when
appropriate and that list can be expanded as well to respect others
holidays.

Sorry for the off topic response.

I also see that the weather forecast is for HOT, may not be doing mucn
caching when I get to Florence and Apache Junction.
