Note
----
I busted the Prius driver electronics system in a strange way:
- screen still works for backup and radio functions. Radio still works.
- screen works to show the car mileage, etc.
- screen goes blank if I try to go to 'apps' to use GPS, or sync to phone.
- unfortunately, it is currently synched to my son's phone, so I cannot call from the car. Not that I do that very often, but it is a potentially useful addition to have.
- Nav system still works by voice command, although it is only 1/2 useful if you can't see the map.
--> so the physical GPS works
- it seemed to be caused by me turning off the car while in the middle of setting a route. When I turned the car back on again, the screen interaction was gone.

9 AM
Orienteering 1:04:23 [3] 4.35 mi (14:48 / mi) +190m 13:02 / mi
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3
Green X course at Tyler arboretum. Colder than Saturday.
Much nicer venue than Ridley Creek, as there was generally more 'runnable woods'. Also, running through the small creeks was fun.
After a first few controls, there were several Green X people (Especially Tom O) around (who had easily caught up to me), so it, um, influenced my decisions (more than probably allowed legally). ... Let's just say that if I had won a medal, I would have not accepted it due to too much influence. I will use this as a learning/training experience to understand route decisions (once I upload GPS).
Ran with normal glasses, which was good for seeing the woods (and didn't fog). However, they don't have nearly enough magnification for quick looks at the map. I need to figure something out there.
....
Brought home swamp in the car. Febreeze'd it.
Feel sorry for maid at Hotel - soon they'll have to charge extra fees for having orienteering equipment in the room - analogous to their fees for smoking.
