@Boxcar, won't the frequency spectrum allow for both? I'd value your insight on this.

getting warmer, many projects for spring

Spring and summer are are officially cancelled here on the east coast of Canada. With another 4" of snow last night bringing the total to over 5' total so far this season, not enough days left to melt it all, freezing rain on the way later on in the day changing to, you guested it, snow. This is NB Can,I think NL Can has give up and sank back into the ocean.

Anyone have experience with the new GPS or cellular location based luggage tracking devices? I’m not sure how helpful they would be in actually recovering lost luggage but at least you would know the location of your bag.

The Trakdot product is well reviewed on Amazon:

Spring is springing. Time to reload the Garmin with the latest maps.

If you don't have atomic /radio controlled clocks remember to set your clocks an hour forward tonight before going to bed.

Replacing the batteries in your smoke & carbon monoxide detectors should also be a must for everyone
