I can vouch for wine left out. The cork for my white zin fell into the bottle so I just left it on the counter open while pouring a glass every now and then. As I got to the bottom...there were fruit flies. (ewwww.)

Am I to believe that people are catching more flies with vinegar than with honey?
I believe this was already covered in my first series of fruit fly experiments: ita "Coffee On My Monitor" Sep 29, 2006 3:53:13 pm PDT

I just downsized to a grocery sized trashbag and take it out everyday that it has fruitfly friendly shit in it. And enclose my fruit in fridge or bags (can't live on the counter very long anyway, due to heat.)
Dinner a few blocks down, seriously good. I got halfway down my street with my watermelon and mint and bottle of rum, and realized it was too fucking hot to walk, and drove the 4 blocks. Fucking wilting flower, that's me!
Tortillas español, some awesome roasted bird a la cook's spanish father, spanish sherry, salad, flan (which I have serious texture issues with, but the flavor is good. I took small bites interspersed with watermelon,) my watermelon (rum soaked was a huuuuge hit, we ended up soaking the non-alcoholic half after the non drinker took his share!) Impromptu flamenco lessons, and I am so done now. This was after a mile and a half swim after work because I am insane.
It was fun. A lot for a school night (I will hate tomorrow!) but so worth it.
Top that off with an email I should ignore, been a good night.

Apropos of nothing, I love that I can create a wireless hotspot with my phone now. Not all airports and hotels offer free wifi, and it's nice being able to tell my friends that they can bring wireless devices and actually use them this weekend.
I'll have to demand "Who's your hotspot, baby?" and "Are you connecting with my hotspot?" at least a few times while we're in Atlanta.

All the cel phone stuff makes me want to Nilly my post where I was all, Oh, I only want a device if it does ALL this stuff. But now it does. Convergence, baby. That was only a few short years ago.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Not that I will, but I could.
I will, because I should.
There. I fixed it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Washing fruits when brought into the house, especially oranges and bananas, will help prevent fruit fly explosions. I keep a small vase with cider vinegar on the counter next to my compost crock.
