Wait Ztirnats, there's song titles now? This is the first I've ever heard of that! Clearly, there's something that I'm missing here. Well... besides seeing any song title. When I unscroll the log, I just barely glance over the Geocaching-type logo and go to log it. In quite public locations such as this, I tend to want to stick around for a short a time as humanly possible... keep the conspicuity to a minimum. I'm going to have to make a mental note to check the log of the next ICU cache I find.

BUT... that's pondering for another day. Literally... it's getting pretty late today. 10:30pm as of logging this... about 10:00pm being when I found it. And I am VERY happy that this cache just happened to get published yesterday! Had it been earlier, I would have likely found it long ago, it being less than 2 km from home. Had that been the case, there would have been no caches close to home after work, ergo my current, ongoing record of consecutive days finding a cache (now at 16 ) would have ended yesterday. Simply... I was very short on time after work today. Nor did I particularly want to drive way the hell off to somewhere else in the city this late at night (I'm a country boy... and was paranoid in general to BEGIN with... moving to the city didn't exactly help that ). However... this one being quite close to home, in an area I'm familiar with... giddy-up!

So I had completed most prior obligations at home, and told my wife I was going to take off for about a half-hour to find this brand new nearby geocache. Out the door and into the car I go! Swinging down a few streets, and I was nearing the coordinates in no time. St. Vital Road had few cars parked on it, so I was able to park on the closest possible spot on that road to the cache. Technically, I DID still have to cross the street to get to it though... looks like statistical probability hasn't forgiven me yet . Noone at the intersections, no bystanders in sight... let's get to work!

But what's this? I run my fingers over the usual places, but feel nothing! Strange... I give it a good look-over in general, and see... nothing. Peculiar... could it be gone already? I feel around in the grass immediately beside the evil eye, and find nothing. Huh. Thinking this one might be changed up a bit, I go and investigate the other 'half' of the evil-eye... nothing there eyether either. Heading back to the 'first half', and what's this? I spot it almost instantly this time. Now how in the WORLD did my fingers miss that?!? Somehow, I must have been mere millimeters from feeling it, but may have pulled away early. Oh well... still there, all is good. Opening it up, the log decides to give me a bit of a fight to leave the container.

Aaand then unpleasantries occur. I was resting the top and base of the cache on that electrical box nearby to sign the log on, when the top (log still inside) slipped from my hands, straight into the grass somewhere below me.

CRAP!

Hunching down, I try to look around, fearing the worst. I mean c'mon... I really, REALLY didn't want to have to go online here and log "Uhh... Stupid McButterfingers, aka: me, went and fumbled half the cache into the grass in the middle of the night... my bad". It was definitely dark on that side of the electrical box (which oh so helpfully blocked the light from the street lamps), and I couldn't see a thing. I started to pad my hand around, feeling for anything solid. And what's this?!? Oh... a seed... nut... thing *toss*. Attempt 2... AHA! FOUND IT !!! Strangely, the log came out easily after that... I guess it thought I had enough troubles . Signing it and closing it again, I held it tightly while returning it from whence it came.

Thanks for the cache! It gave me a bit of a scare there, leaping from my hand like that. It was the cache's fault, I assure you .

Took: Nothing
