I always see Bacardi, Capt. Morgan's, and a few other brands, but there's so much out there. When I find a place with a good selection, I don't know what to try. I especially like darker rums but I'm open to trying different kinds.

Is there any place I can get independent information on rum (i.e. not on some website run by a company selling their own kind of rum)?

I was in the kitchen and heard a large thumping noise and saw chunks of ice falling off the roof. When I ran upstairs to look, I saw about a two-foot-wide area where ice had struck the roof. There was no damage.

The low was only 38 degrees last night, and there was no news of snow or ice accumulation anywhere, and it had been raining for some time when this happened. Where it hit on the roof was too far for it to have slid off easily from higher up on the house (and the roof slopes in the perpendicular direction too), and there were no trees it could have fallen from either. I also checked the roof above, and there was no sign of snow or ice anywhere on the roof.

My only thoughts were that it could be either something falling from a plane, or an ice-based meteorite. But there were no signs of rocks or debris, just chunks of ice.

It just seems really weird and I can't make sense of it...I'm curious to hear if anyone has any theories about this, or has any sense of which explanations you think seem most plausible.
