People left their irrigation systems running so they came on overnight in this morning. We are still in the 20s. Much frozen grass, many ice stuff driveways, and black ice puddles on a few of the roads. Most amuzing!

On our way into the 20s(F) again four many hours tonight. The frost in the pictur above never fully defrosted today. EPOCHal!

Post office parking lot the other day.

Mac OS X 12.5 “upgrade” – four hardware reboots and at least 25 minutes later?

Apparently “Availability” is not important any more. The problem was solved decades ago. Sad nobody remembers.

Time for the tortoises to troop to the beach and wash off in the surf. The annual bath.

My #cobol standing query with Google triggered again: COBOL’s Youth Culture! Good article with good support for @microfocus. No mention of #GnuCOBOL, the Open Source option. Otherwise good.
