Brian, a/k/a Phydeaux needs to remember what the minor edit checkbox is for.
Serendipity
Brian has been interested in geocaching since it was a new idea, but has never invested in a GPS unit. Until now. Last week he purchased a Garmin nuvi for a road trip, and this week XKCD rewards him with a way to use it. ~ Phydeaux 02:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
