The Bagel/Bagle/Beagle virus/worm (W32.Beagle.A@mm) is sure making headlines today. It's funny that the author wrote it to self-expire after a week and a half (stops working on January 28th, 2004).

I, for one, am glad that the new northwest Wal-Mart Supercenter is opening up this week. Yes, traffic might be a little hairy, but guess what - it already sucks, nothing new. Personally, I feel that the more Wal-Marts there are in town the better because then that takes the load off of some of the other stores, which cuts down on the length of the lines, which means we'll all get in and out of the store faster with less waiting to checkout. As it is now, tons of people from all over the city drive all the way down to the Damonte Ranch store or the Kietzke store simply because there aren't any good alternatives on the north side of town. The old non-Supercenters just don't cut it. The Northtowne store is a joke - it's like a circus in there. Thus, many of us Northwest residents make the drive - several times a week sometimes. This might, ironically, cut down on the amount of driving we do (and others like us), which might actually ease the traffic situation in Reno to some small degree.

Glad to see that the Nevada Appeal ran an article on geocaching.
