Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

• 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...
• Sixth Thread: The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
• Seventh Thread: The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

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!

Besides, aren't you on coffee by now? Don't you have a drive tonight?

[Wneighbor]

I'm crashing quick... gonna bail out methinks...

Ha! See, I saw it coming. :-)

[Ramius]

Yah... had some coffee. But I'm back at the bach pad. I decided to just crash and drive down in the morning.

I'm tired. Don't feel like driving for an hour. Not particularly wasted... just wiped out.

[Wneighbor]

Just sent you a freepmail. A stubborn, hard-headed woman one!

Sleep well. Dream nice things.

[Ramius]

So... I think I'll check out. See you in the morning?

Later,

[Wneighbor]

Well, I would love to see you in the morning! What time does your flight arrive? :-D

[Ramius]

I am asking that you pass this on to everyone. I dont have a ping list to go off of and time is short. As you all know there are 22 of us here in Mosul that you have been supporting. The rest of our Company arrived in Balad last month. They are operating independent of us, but we still get their news. Yesterday one of their convoys was ambushed outside Baghdad international airport. Four soldiers were injured. Three are Ok, and one is serious. Our good Friend Lt. Matt Brown was shot just above his right eye and has undergone surgery. No other information is known of his condition at this time. I am asking that you pass this on and include Matt in your prayers. Thanks everyone. Things are a little hairy where we are, but nothing like you are seeing on the news. We are all fine and have not seen the uprising in our area as of yet.

[Wneighbor]

Yes sir Steve. My prayers have just gone up for Lt Brown. I will ping all in the next post. Our love and prayers flow through here to you all Steve. And our hearts ache for all of you. Kimberly

[Wneighbor]

This just in from Steve everyone. Post 829. I am repeating it so you will all know.

As you can all see this is an urgent prayer matter.

[Rose in RoseBear]

You're in our thoughts, and please, let all your Company know it.

So glad to hear from you! You were just on my mind!

[Darksheare]

I HATE those plastic security packages!
They are resistant to SANE opening attempts.
They end up requiring massively destructive, and sharp, convincing before opening!

[Darksheare]

Later today I will be offline for 10 days.
Maybe I'll get some odd inspiration during teh down time..

Four soldiers were injured. Three are Ok, and one is serious.

I'm wondering if this is the same attack where two of the soldiers were missing and presumed taken as prisoners?

Also is the this the 724th from the Bartonville area? Are or their membersd of the 724th from other areas as well?

[Graybeard58]

Sorry, I meant to address number 835 to Steve.

I didn't see your prayer request until VEY early this morning. Sending up prayers for the REST of the project.

How did the first day of shooting go?

[SuziQ]

Now Those sights would have been good to add to the "Journeys of Flat Frodo" album!

[SuziQ]

BTW! It sure is cool that Dubya and Condi came to call!
