Parenthetical Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden in west-central Yuba City, about 75 yards east of Tharp Road. Be sure to note the important logging requirements below.

************LOGGING REQUIREMENTS************

I have noticed that some of the caches I have found have parentheses in the title. Now it's your turn. Your task is to find 26 caches, each with a pair of parentheses in the title...and each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. No locationless caches are allowed.

There is no time limit, you may already have found the required caches. When logging this cache, list your requisite cache-finds as shown below...and be sure to include seven different categories (icons) on your list. I (sure) hope that you have (lots of) fun pursuing this project...
