Middle of March? Check.
Switch to daylight savings time? Check.
The NCAA in full swing? Check.
Springtime in the Great Northwest? Umm.. not really...
It's a week away from the official start of spring and the weather's still grey and dull. VikS & I skied last weekend at Alpental is some rather lousy conditions. It was foggy when we got there, started raining halfway through - with snow and hail at the higher elevations and a gust that brought the windchill down to 30F. Ugghh.. On the bright(!) side, the mountain was mostly empty and there were no lines at the lifts.
During the week, I got myself a Garmin C320 - probaby the best entry-level GPS in the market. I was skeptical when I first read about it, but I've come to love it in the week that I've had it. The screen is bright enough for the Seattle sun and it's absolutely easy to use - easy to meet the WAF test. I've loaded up a tiny 256MB SD card with maps of the West coast and Florida - in preperation for a spring and summer full of weekend getaways starting with our Florida/Bahamas cruise in May. It's POI database seems pretty limited at the moment, but there are millions of POIs available online - though I couldn't get anything to fit into the SD card.
In other news, the Cricket World Cup seems to be in full swing, though I've been blissfully ignorant of anything other than the results because of the oddly timed matches and a busy work week.
