Geocache Description:


It was Father’s Day and I had the honor of providing food and doing the cooking for my children out on my deck.  While flipping burgers, my son, SohWhardego, and I had this conversation.  

SohWhardego: Hey Pops!  What’s a centroid?

Sludge_Shoveler: A centroid is a geometric calculation of the average of any number of points.  Like the center of gravity.

SohWhardego: That reminds me, I was at the center of the grassy area in front of the MSU Observatory looking at the moon through this astronomer’s telescope.  It was incredible.  

Sludge_Shoveler: You know what’s incredible?  The Mosaic Car by Nancy O in 2004 in front of Delphi Art Supply.  Great sculpture!

SohWhardego: You wanna see a great sculpture?  Go to the Sundial in East Lawn Cemetery.  

Sludge_Shoveler: Yeah, that’s good but what about the Soldiers in Mason cut outa wood in honor of those who served?
 
SohWhardego: I saw those when I was getting a geocache there.

Sludge_Shoveler: Do you remember your first geocache?  

SohWhardego: GC43ANC! I remember it well.

Sludge_Shoveler: Well?  You don’t do anything well.  The best you do is adequate.

SohWhardego: Adequate? You think you were an adequate father?  You were terrible!

Sludge_Shoveler: Terrible?  You know what’s terrible?  They moved the Butterfly Bench into the Children’s Garden at MSU.

SohWhardego: MSU?  I’ve heard of it.  I think I saw a plaque about it on the side of Beaumont Tower.

Sludge_Shoveler: Speaking of plaques.  There is one in Okemos that tells about Chief Okemos and the Village of Okemos.

SohWhardego: Boring!!!!!!

Sludge_Shoveler: Say, turn on the radio.  I like WMHHV.  

SohWhardego: I can’t find that station.

Sludge_Shoveler: Right. You couldn’t even find the sign in Foote-Rockwell Cemetery listing the souls buried there.  

SohWhardego: I’m tired of arguing. Peace?

Sludge_Shoveler: Sure.  Have you seen the Peace Pole at Williamston Methodist Church?  

SohWhardego: No, but I saw one at Ingham County Health Department at Cedar & Jolly.  

Sludge_Shoveler: Here, take over the burger flipping.  I gotta go calculate a centroid.
