Blinky blinks his last

I regretfully report that the blinky vest, stalwart of 8 years of Madison-Chicago relays, has succumbed: Blinky blinks no more.   I thought the problem was a single broken wire and conducted emergency repairs (I was surprised to find there was still a soldering iron in the house!) but discovered a total system failure.

I will wear Blinky as my reflective vest in this year's race as a tribute to his blinking past.

Last year I posted a video of Blinky in action:  Blinky
