Apothic Dark (and rain)
A big, dangerous wave is referred to as "heavy" by some surfers. I poured Apothic Dark on this sheet outside and left it out there to dry, when a summer storm showed up a few minutes later. The wine got splattered by the rain, which made for a very cool stippled effect and lightened the color of the very dark plum colored wine.

Named for the Dave Matthew's song "Come Tomorrow"
Old man spat and cursed as he spoke
It's all going to hell and the whole world is broken
Little kid is busy making plans
Save the whole world along with that old man
It's far as I can see
A better way for you and me
Is to let the children run the show
Not too long and we'd be good to go
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
Yeah, as far as I can see
We should let the children lead the way
Bang bang you're dead now could be real
I got a bag of smoke come on let's make a deal
Yeah, bridges burn but tomorrow is another day
To feed the world and then go outside and play
Yeah, farmers farm and dancers dance all night
Lovers love and the firefighters fight
Let the children run the show
Not too long and we'd be good to go
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
Yeah, as far as I can see
We gotta let the children lead the way
Storms will rise out of innocent skies
Times will change as you let the children play the game
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything

"Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name." - Donald Trump
Ugh. No, there's not very fine people "on both sides".
