Eye Scream

[mortonfox]

Had a nice evening pursuing a sybaritic lifestyle. First, I visited benchmark KV6807. This one is located on the campus of Montclair State University, near Yogi Berra Museum. Although I'm not a baseball fan, I've been to the museum before, so it was familiar territory when I returned for the benchmark.

The benchmark was but a prelude to the I scream, You scream, We all scream...... 2 geocaching event at the Applegate Farm Ice Cream Store just down the road (and down another road) from Montclair University. It wasn't a big event but it was nice to see some of the local geocachers. I had the a medium-sized Black Forest Crunch. Dave had a monstrous half-gallon sundae, reputedly New Jersey's largest ice cream sundae.

After that, I headed over to downtown Millburn for the "Downtown / Main Street USA": Millburn, NJ geocache, which wasn't too hard to find, even in the dark with a flashlight. Then I visited benchmark KV0674 on a traffic island at an intersection in Millburn. That time of night, the town was pretty quiet, so traffic wasn't a concern.

And finally, I went to the Millburn Diner for a late dinner. I had meatloaf. There was an open wi-fi network in the area at around 30% signal strength. It was a bit flaky but usable, so I logged the geocaches, benchmarks, and trackables while having dinner. When the waitress came by, she said that I type very fast. Well, I progressed beyond hunt-and-peck a long time ago but I think this is only about average for anyone who has been working on a computer for a while.

Last night, JkDefrag took quite a while to finish, so I dozed off just before midnight. When I woke up, it was around 3am so I continued sleeping and actually got more than 9 hours of sleep in total.

Had a somewhat disturbing dream. In this dream, a significant number of people had 3 eyes, two eyes in the usual place and a third one in the middle of the forehead. Having two eyes was considered normal, so there was a stigma to having a third eye. Many 3-eyed people had surgery to remove the third eye. So then one guy came up to me and showed me the scar on his forehead. He said that it was where his third eye used to be. That's when the dream ended.

I think the scar guy was trying to tell you that you should have your third eye removed. OTOH, without the third eye, you could not have had that dream.

And all this has now reminded me of the Steve Oedekerk logo tag at the end of Jimmy Neutron episodes. The monkey turns around, blinks its three eyes, waves, and says, "Hi, I'm Paul."

Besides, without your third eye, it's much harder to find geocaches.

Reminds me of that one-hit wonder band Third Eye Blind.

Unrelated comment - but I remembered reading about Micro Center in your blog a while ago. Stopped by there today and picked up a Gorrilapod - they're fantastic. Wouldn't have known about either unless I'd seen your LJ post.

So consider your blog an educational tool (for me at least!). Thanks Po!

You're welcome. The impression I got is Micro Center is much better than CompUSA. However, their location in Paterson isn't convenient to me. Sales tax is lower though because they're in an Urban Enterprise Zone.
