And now, let’s finish it off with Besigheim’s old town. Only when we left, the sun peaked through the clouds. That was a bit unfortunate, but what can you do? It has some nice buildings. https://lyse.isobeef.org/besigheim-2025-03-30/

Today, we had a cleanup day with the scouts. I estimate that we ended up with about half a metric ton of rubbish. Despite the heat it was really great fun.

How big is VMS?
This question was asked during my Boot Camp presentation last fall in Boston, and over the past 35 years dozens of times people have asked, how big is VMS?

Not counted are blank lines and lines beginning with the standard comment characters and m … ⌘ Read more
