...A shame about that slpotch of light up top; otherwise I really liked how this turned out.

Morikami Gardens

Tucked into a corner of western Delray Beach is Morikami Gardens, a transplant of Japanese Asthetics into the general daily bustle of South Florida.

I'll definitely be going back, when I can take a more leisurely path befitting the gardens' contemplative nature.

On Your Marks..

I was one of the 7,000 or so folks participating in the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Corporate 5K Run in Fourt Lauderdale -- as a walker. This is only the third time I've done something like this, and the last occured ten years ago.

I came in at a respectable 50:30, approximately 17 minutes per mile. My personal best was a little under 15 minutes per mile, but this wasn't bad given my utter lack of preparation!

I took some shots along the way, but this stitched panorama packed the most punch. It's my view of the holding pen about five minutes before the starting cannon.

Yay, proprietary version control systems.

[solomon@lunchbox sos]$ /home/sos/sos_6.30.p1_linux/bin/sos_export.pl
bash: /home/sos/sos_6.30.p1_linux/bin/sos_export.pl: /usr/bin/perl^M:   bad interpreter: No such file or directory

In other words, they shipped UNIX scripts with DOS line endings.

sigh

...I think it's fitting that this tool is called 'sos'.
