The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...
ecurbh

Posted on 12/11/2003 2:07:57 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Well, we are nearly off for our second viewing.

I almost forgot that we took some line pics last night... tired hobbits and Ramius waitin' in line outside the theater....

Ramius, Über-geek, trying to find a wireless signal so we could FReep from line.... no such luck.

So we watched the EE TTT for a bit.... (it's on there but you can't see the screen)

You two did a wonderful job of defending the honor of the Hobbit Hole.

Aw shucks. Itwern't nuthin'. I just wandered out the door a little further than I should have this mornin'. Needed to make sure somebody knew not to talk down about this place.

Stay here where it's safe, Corin. Even if it is tempting out there. We like you, some of them don't.

you were commenting about the heady days of the 'sapce race' recently. I've been afflicted by them as well. I see the space shuttle and say "cool". I see a Saturn V and say "AWESOME".

In my mind, Rutan and his effort go into the "AWESOME" category.

Jen is lonely. Jen is going to talk to herself in the third person for a while.

Is L5 the right orbit for an Earth-Moon transit station? I know it's right for habitats but I'm thinking maybe it's not the best for a transfer station...

It's been too long since I've looked at them. I'd have to research.

itsuh shame it happens, but it wouldn't be war if it didn't...

I've been there too and my only surprise is that he isn't complaing about the food - yet.

That was mine and many others major gripe.Lousy food and having to stand in long lines to get it.

Heh... I read Have Space Suit Will Travel when I was 11. Was that fair? Give a girl dreams that are impractical?

Eh, Heinlein's heroes never let the impossibilities of their dreams stop them, and they usually ended up saving the world in time for dinner, so...
