Wear your rubbers!

It has been snowing here in Hoboken (NY/NJ), since yesterday morning. We got dumped on. Commuting to Manhattan today was a joy.   Since most of the sidewalks were not cleared, many people were walking the streets. There was huge amounts of slush at intersections, so without the proper foot gear, you were getting some cold and wet feet. Right now I am sitting on the NY/NJ Path train heading back to Hoboken, and I am seated across from a dude, that definitely ruined his leather work shoes (I tried to sneak a pic with my phone, doesn’t quite capture the sadness). Lucky for me, and my recent ‘gearing up’ my Vasque Breeze GTX’s waterproof hiking boots allowed me to saunter to and from work like a Sherpa. Joe and I have been wearing our hiking boots most days to ‘break them in’ for the big trek. I picked these bad boys up at EMS in Soho, NYC.

On another front, the camera I have been eyeing; the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 has its next gen coming out in March. The DMC-TS2, which is more rugged and freeze proof (jackpot) and 14.1 MP (you can never have enough megapixels). It retails for $399. Joe is also scoping a 2010 Olympus camera scheduled for a March release, wonder if that’s when all the new cameras come out. In time for St Paddy’s I suppose.
