Way back in the day when there were three TV channels, I was a wrestling fan because I got a kick (pun intended and you’ll see why) out of their over-the-top antics.

Here’s another sign I’m getting old: rassling ain’t been the same since Andre the Giant died. It seems now each performer (not athlete) is more intent on shocking us and topping what we’ve already gotten used to. Here’s the latest entry. What will they grab from the audience next?

No love in the geocaching today. I was tired, it was hot, and there was 5:00 rush traffic all around. I did get 7+ miles in, so it wasn’t a wasted trip, but treasure hunting on a Tuesday afternoon is way different than on a Sunday morning. Still fun, though.

Nice by-product of the hunt: here’s today’s bike track.

From the News of the Weird weekly digest:

After languishing for two years in the Irish legislature, the Nuclear Test Ban Bill of 2006 has recently been rethought and refurbished, according to a June report in the Irish Independent. Originally, the bill codified the United Nations Test Ban Treaty, adding some provisions specific to Ireland. Among those additions was the punishment for anyone detonating a nuclear weapon in Ireland: up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of up to 5,000 euros [then, around $6,500], along with language that might even allow a person found guilty to apply for first-offense probation. The proposed punishment this time is expected to be considerably harsher. [Irish Independent, 6-27-08]

Hope your wheels are working on this foine Monday (as they used to say in me Auld Country). Have a great week.
