Violent Thunderstorms Disrupt Vinexpo! Denyse and I got horribly wet, my PocketPC fell to the ground and broke, and we tasted lots of great wines at Chateau Moulin Pey-Labrie. I have been writing all my tasting notes on my IPAQ 4700 Pocket PC for the past four years. Poof, in one brutal fall, punctuated by a violent bolt of thunder it was on the ground, submerged in water and with a broken screen. I have no choice but to go to a Bureau Tabac this morning and buy a memo pad and a pen and to start writing tasting notes like in the olden days before we all wore IPODS during all our waking hours. I tasted lots of great wines yesterday and found several new producers. Unfortunately, the data was all destroyed when my IPAQ fell to the ground. I suppose I will have to buy a replacement, but do I buy another PocketPC or do I buy an integrated phone/PocketPC? This question will haunt me for the rest of Vinexpo.
I just stumbled upon this great video of the Nantucket Wine Festival. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Oops! When you stumbled, did you drop your IPAQ? Did it break? Was there lightning? Ka-Boom!
Of course, you could buy yourself the new iPhone from Apple, which offers all the goodies of a microputer, a phone and an iPod. Don't know if the headphones are any more comfortable than the ones that come with the iPod...
i don't know what to say...the camel.
My condolences on your loss.
it was a fine pocket pc. one we know you were proud of...ahab.
Joe,
I would go for an Iphone!
i still rely on smoke signals. queequay.
Hail in Cote-Rotie this morning! Does that count?
I thought that the rain might cool things off-
it needs to be a hard rain. the camel. |
