11/18/2011 RE: X-B. It has been brought to my attention there has been another Marvel superhero named Cynosure. That means, by dictionary definition, there have been 3 superheroes with the same name! One X-man, one Alpha Flight, and a third I-don't-know-what. Really, it shouldn't be this hard. The dictionary is your friend. Looking for the alternate (astronomy) definition. Pick the name that starts with "P". 3900- 1745 BC it was Thuben.

Wheelchair can pull up beside the cache, but grabbers may be required to reach it

Congrats NRL and T2D on FTF!
