I could have made brownies. I could have watched a movie. I could have washed the dishes.
Instead I wanted to get this task I was working on for work, working. Because it was one of those coding/testing/figuring out/tweaking/trying again/failing/getting a little further/thinking of a new way of trying again/etc tasks that's hard to walk away from.
Now it's 11:30pm and is it working? NO!!!! The zipped files aren't working; the gzipped files aren't working; the compiled stylesheets don't seem to be making any difference; waaaaahhh! phooey!
It keeps raining and raining and raining. It was a fine mist most of today.
At the Little Oktoberfest in Munich, when I was a kid in weather like this, they sold Dampfnudeln (steamed dumplings) with a plum filling and vanilla sauce. I remember them as being so big. But they can't have been that big; I must have been small.
And then I do a websearch and find out that the Little Oktoberfest was in July, not October, so the weather couldn't have been all that cold and damp. Though it was Germany, so yes it could.
My aunt made green Wackelsalat with vanilla sauce.
Now it's 12:30am, and at least one of the 3 things I wanted to verify were working, seems to be working, maybe. Yes! It does! Woo-ha!

After reading that page, it does match up with what I remember in that it was an American-German celebration where a lot of Germans came to get the typical American food (but they also sold some German food like the Dampfnudeln).
It was held right on the edge of the American housing area near the elementary school.
There isn't much about it online. This German page has info:

Ah, that page reminded me of the dunking booths where you could throw a ball to try to dunk someone into the water.
