The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I think that's the rate my bank pays on savings. Not sure. It doesn't add up very quickly. Just enough that I have to pay taxes to the state on the interest. I always owe them $1. Hopefully it costs more to process the check.

I think I need a dependent.

Maybe I could adopt a couple of the younger siblings?

Too bad you can't claim pets.

You can't?????....ooops...

Seriesly though, I was just bummed Nana didn't live here long enough last year to claim her. Next year it'll make a big difference 'cause we'll also have her medical expenses to add to ours.

I could use a dependent or three as well. Something... anything...

I'm in the category of taxpayers that are just in the "you're hosed" group. I have no dependents, no mortgage (since I bought the house on a note, not a mortgage), no deductions at all. I'm just hosed. I can't itemize, even if I wanted to.

I'm thinking about donating my boat to one of those charities, just so I can feel what it's like to itemize for a change.

Also in August, I have to start paying real bills. I'm going to have to be on a very very strict budget. Not a ton of room for flying around, 'cept for Christmas visits home.

However, once the aliens start dropping asteroids on us, Colorado will be a nice safe place for the new capital. Isn't there some secret Army base under the Rockies where they're going to run Armageddon?

The problem with Cheyenne Mountain being there, means it's a great big target... haven't you ever read any cold-war-paranoia SF?
