The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

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!

They make cars without power locks or windows. Mine is a brand new car, and it doesn't have power anything. Well, power steering.

OOPS!!

When Matthew barfed and I crawled in through the bathroom window, I unsplined the screen. Steve had to take a splining tool and respline to screen...it's funny because whenever we use the splining tool we shout at each other "Spline me BABY!!

Weird, I know...but it's good for a few chuckles.

I didn't break position to raise my hand to let 'em know a good number of us were on a fireant hill, and the ants were even LESS pleased than we were.

Since we're on this subject, here's an interesting article from "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook" :)

How to Escape from a Sinking Car:

1. As soon as you hit the water, open your window. This is your best chance of escape, because opening the door will be very difficult given the outside water pressure. Opening the windows allows water to come in and equalize the pressure. Once the pressure inside and outside the car is equal, you'll be able to open the door.

2. If you power windows won't work or you cannot roll your windows down all the way, attempt to break the glass with your foot or shoulder or a heavy object such as an antitheft steering wheel lock.

3. Get out.

4. If you are unable to open the window or break it, you have one final option. Wait until the car begins filling with water. When the water reaches your head, take a deep breath and hold it. Now the pressure should be equalized inside and outside, and you should be able to open the door and swim to the surface.

Yikes! Fire ants! I've heard some horror stories about them from friends down South. . .

Speaking of which, here's a fun bedtime story :)

Leiningen versus the Ants

[SNIP]

The Brazilian official threw up lean and lanky arms and clawed the air with wildly distended fingers. "Leiningen!" he shouted. "You're insane! They're not creatures you can fight--they're an elemental--an 'act of God!' Ten miles long, two miles wide--ants, nothing but ants! And every single one of them a fiend from hell; before you can spit three times they'll eat a full-grown buffalo to the bones. I tell you if you don't clear out at once there'll he nothing left of you but a skeleton picked as clean as your own plantation. . .
