How to make WET into WEST (other than adding an 'S')

Spring has finally sprung here. Hopefully it will last. Along with it has come Summer Time (a much better name than Daylight Savings Time, if you ask me). So, for you edification, the following is a list of time differences between some key locations and me:

-Greenwich Mean Time (Universal Coordinated Time): +2 hours
-Purdue (Eastern Daylight Savings Time): +6 hours.
-Minnesota/Houston (Central Daylight Savings Time):+7 hours.
-Colorado (Mountain Daylight Savings Time): +8 hours.
-Arizona (Mountain Standard Time = Pacific Daylight Savings Time): +9 hours.
-Kuala Lumpur: -6 hours.

The other thing that I like about Summer Time is that it turns WET into WEST (Western European Time —> Western European Summer Time).

Also, I have finally gotten my pictures uploaded to a site where you can look at all of them at your pleasure: Lots of random shots of random things—typical me photography. In this case, it is probably a good thing I decided to be an engineer, instead of a professional photographer. Hopefully at least one or two of the pictures is good enough that your time was not wasted looking at them. Some of the pictures you have seen already (like the first half of the Nature album and most of the Braunschweig album), but many are new; including the Berlin album and the second half of the Nature album, pictures along the Oker which I took this afternoon.

No more streaming basketball for me since CBS only streams the first three rounds, which makes me sad, but is much better for my sleeping habits. Crazy Carolina game the other night—I was up until 05:15 at least they pulled it out and won. Florida is currently leading the Oregon Ducks. Hopefully this game is the reverse of their other ones (trailing until mid-second half and then picking up their play enough to win the game), and they lose. UNC plays Georgetown tonight. I am wearing my Carolina shirt in support.

Countdown to London: 9 days.
