The vernal equinox occurs this year at 11:44 UTC (6:44AM CDT), March 20, signaling the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. Not that it feels like it around here, as it’s still cold and grey outside AITS headquarters. Maynard hasn’t tried to start the company truck parked out back, where it has been sitting since November. We’re betting that it won’t start. The upside is that most of the snow has melted.

But we’ll get in the spring spirit anyway. A cold Bud would help.
