Howdy Ruth!

That was the vermin that we suspected... two more days
of hiking got us to our next cache which was still 
intact...meaning we had hidden it better!

A couple of weeks back we had one of our catchers
called upon to do just that! And he did a fairly respectable
job too..although we lost the game, it was not due to his
pitching, rather a call that went against us.
You'd be surprised what "therapy" is going on
to pitchers these days! Sure, Ice, heat, hydrotherapy
stretches, massages, but you can include, acupuncture,
herbal wraps, and a lot more including hypnosis, and 
such!
 chat with you soon!
