The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

[ecurbh]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - 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.

Member. There are no coincidences. Only Godincidences! Maybe this is one of 'em! :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

if I wanted to hide something metallic, I would dig a deep hole, bury it, partially fill with dirt, then plop a barrel on top

You are a twisted mind, Miss Rose..... You guys are gonna make me dig that thing up and call in the forensics people ain't ya? ;~D

[HairOfTheDog]

Good morning smaagee!

We are talkin' bout mysteries 'n stuff.... How is the desert?

[Wneighbor]

OH! Good thought Rose! Maybe Hair and ecurbh better get out there and dig up that barrel tomorrow! Ya know, it just might be pirate treasure! :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes!

[Ramius]

Well... if it were *guns* then any decent militiaman would know that you bury them *deep* and *vertical* in PVC tubes. Makes them harder to find with metal detectors...

I think you should write about it for Nanowrimo.

You are a twisted mind, Miss Rose

Just one of the things I like about her!

[Wneighbor]

Oops...guess it's evening there

Yeah. But, I've gotten used to you being opposite of us now. I know instantly when I see you that you're at the other end of the day! :-)

[Ramius]

Howdy! Good morning to you!!!

How's the coffee? Passable, I hope.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Good morning! Hope all is well where you are!

[Wneighbor]

You guys are gonna make me dig that thing up and call in the forensics people ain't ya? ;~D

We're tryin'! Why don't you get Ramius over there to dig it up for you. He's only going to hold down his couch this weekend anyway! :-D

Cold here this morning...about 35 or so...supposed to be 67 and sunny today. Looking forward to that. I sent some pics to 300winmag to post. I havent heard from him, so hopefully he got them. We still couldnt get the whole group together at once, but we got most of us in there.

[HairOfTheDog]

I tell ya what..... if we find another one, I will investigate it ~FULLY~

[HairOfTheDog]

Questions.... questions that need answers....

Am working on a painting that really has me excited, hoping it will come out good. A landscape.

It is dominated by a huge, menacing, out of control thunderhead, with clouds twisting into unnatural shapes, but still retaining the classical anvil configuration. Underneath in the distance, but dwarfed by the storm, is a tiny city with tall buildings, a shining golden city on a hill. I have Manhattan in mind, surrounded by swamps, and getting hit by rain in places. A train going into a tunnel, heading in.

Meanwhile, in front of the city are great forests, seriously on fire in places, with lots of smoke going right up into the thunderhead. Fighter jets streaking overhead, though I believe I'll make those rather abstract.

I think it's going to come out good, give me a few weeks to finish her.
