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!

Somehow, I don't see Jeanne and I heading over to the monthly sweat lodge ceremony.

So you couldn't find any skimpy enough shorts?

One trouble with the UN is that they let other nations than the United States in.

Another trouble is that Arab nations are allowed.

Somehow, I think you and Jeanne can find some better things to do! :-)

As for shorts. Skimpy is plentiful here. It's some that fit and actually have more there! I thought I had some that would work, but have lost a size or so in the last year. They're awefully baggy. :-)

Yurts are cool. I'm still trying to come up with a justification to get one. Not sure where I'd put it... but they're cool...

of course, if i follow that line of reasoning i can explain why Texas should not be in the US too.

If it ever gets to the point where we gotta "vote from the rooftops" I think I'd probably head for Texas as the most likely outpost of America.

The hot tub wouldn't actually be *on* the beach. Not a good thing, really.

Now that I'm looking at the lyrics of that, I remember seeing the video for that in a documentary--Dylan is standing on a street corner flipping cue cards with the lyrics on them.

You're the one that brought it up! It would be more fun than a yurt!

Yes, but neither hot tubs nor yurts would be good to have on the beach. Tides are funny in how they kinda come up and down every day. Can't stop 'em. Time and tide... yada yada yada...

I ain't believin' this. Lead story on local news tonight is still the tornado sirens. There was a hearing today. A tornado was reported on the ground by the officials at the Air Force Base, 3 WF police officers saw funnels coming down from cloud and 2 Air Force pilots in the air saw funnels going down. And yet, people are still up in arms because there wasn't a "damaging" tornado and the sirens were sounded!

Last month the hearings were because the sirens didn't sound. They weren't sounded because there were no confirmed reports of tornados, only straightline wind. Afterward, it is known there were 3 tornados. So, we went through 2 weeks of hearings on why the sirens were NOT sounded then.

Now, we're hearing crap about why they WERE sounded when there WAS all this confirmation!

Yep, that's the one. I used to see it a lot on VH-1 20 years ago, when I was in college. I used to leave VH-1 on as background music...
