The Boy and Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth had hit 714 home runs during his baseball career and was playing one of his last full major league games. It was the Braves versus the Reds in Cincinnati. But the great Ruth was no longer as agile as he had once been. He fumbled the ball and threw badly, and in one inning alone his errors were responsible for most of the five runs scored by Cincinnati. As the Babe walked off the field after the third out and headed toward the dugout, a crescendo of yelling and booing reached his ears.

Just then a boy jumped over the railing onto the playing field. With tears streaming down his face, he threw his arms around the legs of his hero. Ruth didn’t hesitate for one second. He picked up the boy and hugged him. Then he set him down on his feet, patting his head gently.

Suddenly there was no more booing. In fact, hush fell over the entire park.

In that moment, the fans saw two heroes: Ruth, who in spite of his dismal day on the field could still care about a little boy; and the small lad, who cared about the feelings of another human being. Both had melted the hearts of the fickle crowd.

Ode to an Abused Dog

Someone hurt you, hit you, beat you
would not give you food
The only water that you got
was from a muddy pool
And yet when help did finally come
though you were almost dead
You wagged your tail in greeting
and you tried to raise your head
What gave you strength or made you hope
what helped to see you through
The agonizing hunger
and lonliness you knew
Yet you forgave and took a chance
and graced us with your love
For us to know such spirit was
a gift from God above

Fedora 19 sytemctl

systemctl works with not only services but all other unit types, and is a valuable tool when monitoring or troubleshooting a system. It can list all known units, limit the results to a single unit type, show only failed units, or examine unit relationships. The table below shows some useful systemctl features and should help system administrators replace their old workflow in sysVinit.
