Current Date

Hmm.

ACCEPT CurrentDate FROM DATE.

In COBOL Is still not Y2K compatable as it gives you something like 211117 unless you specifically call it with custom format string like ACCEPT CurrentDate FROM DATE YYYYMMDD.

I guess that they couldn’t break the old API without breaking a lot of things.

Winter Camping is Fun.

I am thinking about after regular season closes this year, doing another winter camping trip to the Finger Lakes National Forest. I had a lot of fun in 2018, and while it was cold and snowy, it was enjoyable.

 Winter Wonderland

It’s kind of fun to be out in the wilderness in the snow, enjoying the cold and colors.

As the snow falls all around.

The sun can be weak but next to heater with a hot cup of coffee, mornings are a lot of fun.

And the fire is nice and warm.

Winter camping can be fun.

Hello winter, my old friend
