Wine of the Week - Three Blind Moose






Three Blind Moose, Merlot 2006

From Pete Barbutti: Let's put it in bottles and give it a funny name.

Too expensive but really not a bad one. You try it.

orphan photographs.



Tattered and Lost


Here is an old-photograph site
that you should see:
Tattered and Lost.
It doesn’t present a flood of photographs in categories like Lost Gallery often does; rather it presents one or two photographs at a time with thoughts and remarks about each one.
Tattered and Lost
shows how each lost photograph is connected to a time or a tradition or simply to us.
Go look. Stay a while.

Wine of the Week - Banrock Merlot 2006





I get confused a lot. But this is not as good as the Banrock Shiraz that I tried in the box version a short time back.

The Gnat Trap












Unlimited Photos
No Reason.
I just thought
it was clever.

Things ain't what they used to be.
(In fact, they never was.)

For the first ten days of 2009, Thinks Happen will feature the most visited blog pages of the two blogs, Thinks Happen and Lost Gallery. This will be in Letterman style, least-to-most, with the most visited page on January 10.

Isn’t that exciting?

From November 15, 2006, here's number SEVEN!

Gnat Trap (Simple, Nothing to buy, No waiting, Painless, Works every time!)

We buy a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. The onions and squash wait for tea in a small basket on the bottom shelf of the baker’s shelf/wine rack in the kitchen/dining area. The Bananas hang on a rung of the bottom level of that same rack. The fruit, pears and apples mostly, sit on an upper shelf in another basket.

So, one day our kitchen was infested with gnats. The fruit probably brought a few in and then they nested and reproduced in our sole house plant, the African violet.

They are not dangerous, just annoying. They cloud around the sink and the sponges there.

While having our meal one evening, I noted that they took particular interest in my glass of wine, diving in and dying there. So I invented the Gnat Trap.

On the counter near the sink, I left a small glass with about an inch of merlot in it. Next morning I had about 40 dead drunk gnats. I repeated nightly until the gnats were gone. It took more than a week because they probably got into their second life cycle before I caught on to them.

edit 07/05/2007:

Yes, it really works. I have used the trick twice since then. They are gone over night if you set it up when you first notice them. If you let them get a second generation going, it might take a week.

Try it and let me know your results.

It was on the closeout table. I would buy it again at 6 bucks if I could find it.
Tasty merlot.
