ALL HAIL BRADIGAN, KING OF THE CACHE

Yep, it's official, Brad beat us to 100 caches found. As of yesterday, the official score was Bradigan - 100, Chocolate Blobby - 91. I think we gave him a run on his money, however, because we hit the 100 mark today - only one day behind him (probably not even 24 hours). Very close!   =)

Caches found:
"Time to find something Historic !"
"Observatory Quest"
"How Vane is It"
"Painted Ladies"
"Nevada History Lessons"
"A Gated Community"
"Hot Springs"
"NevCachers Book Trader Cache"
"Railroad Locationless: Steam Locomotives"

I disagree with this article on which color cars get in the most accidents. They claim that silver cars are the safest (which may or may not be true), but they suggest toward the end of the article that white or light-colored cars might be the least likely to get in automobile accidents. In my observance, a majority of cars in accidents are white. Maybe their findings are only applicable to New Zealand drivers, not Western U.S. drivers. To me, white cars are the hardest to see on the road, especially on a sunny day. Darker cars are easier to see (for me).

Finally figured out a WinXP mystery today - the reason that sometimes desktop icons lose their transparency (background color appears behind icon text) is because "lock web items on desktop" is checked. If you uncheck it, they're regain their transparency, depending on what theme is currently applied, that is.
