Bum Wine Tasting Party
I found this site, bumwine.com, a number of years ago, and it gave me a great idea to have a bum wine tasting party. For over five years, I’ve been threatening to hold such a party.
I don’t know how widely known this is, but it turns out that a lot of these “wines” are produced by established, reputable wineries, but they don’t necessarily want you to know that. Night Train, for example, is a product of E. & J. Gallo Winery. The label on a bottle of Night Train makes no mention of Gallo. It shows as being produced by Night Train Limited.
I wanted that have little cards with the name of each wine on the table. It would have been fancy.
It turns out that a lot of these wines are no longer produced. See the email below that I received in 2018.
It seems that I had this idea a bit too late to actually hold such a party.
Meteorite Crashes Into Bedroom
A woman in Canada narrowly missed being struck by a meteorite that crashed through her roof and landed on her pillow.
Ruth Hamilton, a resident of Golden, British Columbia, was asleep in her bed on the night of Oct. 3 when she was jolted awake by an explosive bang, as something plummeted through the roof and showered her with debris.

Exceptional Cure Songs
These are not necessarily my favorite songs or even the best songs by The Cure. They’re just examples of Cure songs that I feel “have it all” when it comes to their work.
Hairstyles and Job Interviews
I think I look a lot better with alternative styled clothes, hair, etc. During the “shelter in place” and “work from home” phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was sporting a mohawk (one that I almost never spiked up properly) and a little facial hair (according to the references I’ve reviewed, it was a “circle beard“). I thought this look was a more accurate representation of “me”.
On the other hand, I had a couple of job interviews this year. It was difficult to style whatever hair I had to work with into a professional look. I tried, but it was still awkward. So, I’ve been growing it back out, and it looks fine, but I’m disappointed – and tempted to switch back!

Setting Up a Forum
Yesterday I set up a new forum on my site. It’s on the Vanilla forum platform, which is really nice. Check it out (as if anyone looks at this blog, LOL).
Let’s Try This Again
I tried to host my site(s) on a Raspberry Pi 4 at home. It was fun and I learned a lot, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to really keep that going. I’m back at GoDaddy – at least for now.…
