Found my park no problem, only a mile or so away: the La Brea Tar Pit Museum. Slept a few hours, then walked to the Ralph's a few blocks away and bought some stew beef, bananas, and serrano peppers. Ate the bananas to tide me over till the beef was cooked. Cooked?

That's right, my solar cooker worked like a sunavabitch this time. LA's cloudless skies and relentless sun finished off the pound of beef in 3 and a half hours. I had enough to share a little with a couple of my homeless companions in the park. After that, I wandered back to the nearest Starbucks, and here I am, totally uninspired to program, and cursing my Cygwin installation, which at this point is unfixable, since the Setup program itself is toast. I'll have to go back to the Kinko's and download Setup.exe from Cygwin.com.
