This blog is a random collection of information, partly in support of my quotations web site. Other topics include wine, military news, economics, history, libertarianism, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy.

Today's commercial endorsement

As you may have noticed, I don't carry advertising on the site . . . at least, not paid advertising (*cough*Serenity*cough*). Every now and again, though, I find a product that I feel is very worthwhile and deserving of a little word-of-blog plugging.

Today's product is the humble Fruit Fly Trap.

It's tomato season, and Elizabeth's small selection of tomato plants has produced a bumper crop of them. We're awash in fresh tomatoes at the moment. We're also suffering a huge infestation of fruit flies, because I forgot to replace the last trap we set in July. It's so bad that I had to use a piece of paper to cover the top of my wineglass yesterday to keep the blasted things out of my wine (even so, I still had a few "swimmers"). So, it's off to Lee Valley at lunch today to belatedly replace the trap.
