I sent out a note yesterday suggesting plugging as an alternate way to hide your box. This entails making a hole beneath a plug of sod and hiding your box inside of it. No reason you can't do this...

Just a couple of notes... There has been talk of curses... mostly from me. For those who didn't get it, this was meant to be humorous. Not to say that I have no intention of placing the poem on...

Does anyone know where I can buy (mail order or the web) some Uncle Walter's Carving Block? I've read some good stuff about it, but surfing the web and contacting some of the companies has come up...

I would have to say that I am also in favor of a default setting for color, background, etc. The color scheme is a low priority as far as that goes. It would be useful to have a link to Tiger maps...

Thanks so much for the warm outpouring of sympathy and advice! Ya'll are just spectacular. Yesterday I went to check on boxes #1 & #2 (you may remember that both #3 & #4 went missing). Sadly, #1...
