Hard work awaited the +pioneers. Field names such as Rüti, Rütenen, Brand, Blüttler and Stockwiesen give an idea of how +space was wrested from the forest for meadows and fields. Some viticulture was also practiced early +on and the rather bitter wine was used together with grain for tithes. Among others, the +Allerheiligen monastery in Schaffhausen was wealthy in Dietlikon, and the church tax went to the +Wettingen monastery. Local historiography also mentions Count Adalbert von Mörsburg (around 1100), +the Counts of Kyburg and, in connection with the castle and bailiwick of Dübelstein, the Zurich +mayor Hans Waldmann. + +This weekend, the modern city of _Dietlikon_ celebrates its ninth (!) centennial. It's amazing how much +culture can be tucked away in such a small part of Switzerland which I call home. The weather ranges +from pleasant (for JP and I) to scorching (for Quinn and Marina). It's about 33C outside, not a +cloud in the sky, and lots of sunshine. Yesterday I suggested to go see the _piglet race_, yes this +is a thing, which starts at noon. We walk over from our place in Brüttisellen, which is about +3.5km or 2mi away, and stop to take a look at the old clock at Dietlikon's reformed Church, a quaint +little place of worship. + +We arrive a few minutes before noon, to see the tail end, literally, of the race. Piglet #9 has won +today, and in an absolutely bizarre turn of non-swissness, they started 20 minutes early and +finished before their announced start time of 12:00. Dafuq! But the piggies are happy, albeit a bit +overheated from their sprint. While they rummage around in the mud, we rummage around in the local +eatery and get some hamburgers and sausages, just like they did in the middle ages! + +After the lunch, we take a look at the fairgrounds, lots of old-skool shops, forges, jewelry, and +folks in their _Tracht_ clothing. There's a brass band playing in a tent and I kind of dig it - +these are old dudes and they've clearly been playing a while. It's like 40C in this tent, but it +doesn't stop them. + +Marina demands icecream, and is quickly pouting because there seems to be only softcream, and she +wants 'real' icecream. After walking around a bit more, including a required selfie _for +Instagram_, or in my case, _Pixelfed_, we find a creamery with belgian waffles -- we do not know the +origin or type of these waffles, and as belgians, JP and Marina are much offended -- but they also +have icecream so Marina indulges and gets a few scoops of watermelon flavor. + +We walk back home and I do a little bit of prepwork in Geneva. Tomorrow, Fred will rewire the +cabinet so that I can land my leased lines in Zurich on the Aristas. At the same time, we'll move my +termination points from the (very expensive) 10Gig ASR9k router ports to (much cheaper) 10Gig Nexus +switchports. To not lose connection, I make use of the awesome redundancy and connect a third +ethernet pipe from my quarter rack's switch called `msw0.chplo0.net.ipng.ch` via MPLS to the new +Arista in Interxion. When that link up, my IPng Site Local and VPP will be able to briefly lose +their redundancy tomorrow while Fred makes the change for me. This goes down without a hitch, and +after my changes to AS8298, the VPP router and iBGP route-reflector that I run in Geneva are still +up and running, with no loss of service. Whoot! + +I managed to convince Marina that it was cooler outside at 16:30, and I lured her under the tree +with a Gin&Tonic. While we were outside, our neighbor Thomas called out "hey do you want some +truffles?" - Maggie, their doggo, went for a walk in the woods this afternoon and snuffled up some +300+ grams of the black truffle stuff, and he came outside with a handful, maybe 70g or so of it. +Halleluja, this day is now perfect! This will turn into a celery soup + black truffle, and a plain +pasta with oil, cheese, and black truffle. Omm nomm! + +After dinner, the weather finally cools down - to the point that it starts raining. We snuggle up +inside to catch a movie. Quinn chooses _Annihilation_ with Natalie Portman. It's a weird flic, +enjoyable for it's psychological drama, but a super trippy ending. I won't spoil it, but I settle +down with a big bowl of salted popcorn and enjoy the movie. + +Then I turn in for the night, and I find myself in bed at 22:30, doomscrolling a bit on Twitter, and +after a few minutes get bored and super tired.
