OK, I think the new server is tested enough for now. Time for lunch. And, I think, a walk.
…
Odd: I just watched two people tossing things over the edge of the roof of an office building in the distance for several minutes.

I’ve just turned off our oldest internet-facing server. I’m not 100% sure, but I think it went back to 2001 – almost as old as IE6!
Walking across an empty lot, listening to “Gold Dust,” just saw a coyote sauntering across the lot.
I’m not crazy about DailyKOS, but this short piece about the Texans who want to secede is dead on
Trying to get back into habit of walking to lunch once a week. Of course, the weather picks today to heat up. I’m thinking maybe Jamba Juice.
Breeze really helps – when it’s not blowing past fields of mulch.
Walking to lunch. Vacant lots are actually green!
Spotted Venus at 1 in the afternoon! Thanks, Sky Map app!
OK, one of my pet peeves is people who refuse to walk 50 feet out of their way to a crosswalk, instead dashing across a busy street where cars are more likely to hit them (or swerve and hit other cars, buildings, etc.)
But the number of people who jaywalk from the courthouse to the Starbucks across the street just amazes me. Especially since the courthouse is at the corner. The point where people cross the street is close enough to the intersection that the left turn lane has already opened up.
I mean, talk about a triumph of laziness over self-preservation. Saving ten seconds vs. risking life and limb? And flagrantly violating traffic laws in front of the courthouse?
I just don’t get it.
