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!

Information to make you cringe. I found gas for my truck today for $1.74/gallon for 93 Octane. Regular 87 Octane was $1.64. And I bought a carton of smokes for $22.50.

File that away in "news that you did not want to hear." :-)

There's been lots of rain up here.

Here too... within about 2" of setting the local record for rainfall in the month of June... and not that far away from setting the all-time monthly record.

Thanks, I doubt that I will ever be an expert but I am going to practice.

[Graybeard58]

I'll ask him and show him your links, thanks.

[Corin Stormhands]

Most very cool! Welcome home Steve!

[Corin Stormhands]

Home from my trip to Vancouver. I was dangerously close to Oregon today ;~D

I gotta look at me a map. I thought Vancouver would be north of you...

[Ramius]

That's pretty cool... but it's a long ways to drive for a tank of gas. :-)

[Darksheare]

Welcome.
I'm not sure which units are authorised to have them, and some CO's may have a snit fit regardless of whether or not they are authorised.
But, it's worth a shot.

Kinda long link, but it takes you to Brigade Quatermasters, a place to get more gear 'just in case'.

Did you see the news about Six Flags in Arlington?

That is about a mile from my mother's house. I worked there for four seasons (it helped me get through college).

[Ramius]

Vancouver *Canada* is north of her. But Vancouver *Washington* is on the border south, across the river from Portland, OR.

[Corin Stormhands]

Vancouver Washington is right across the river from Portland....

I knew I shoulda read ahead...

[Wneighbor]

That's pretty cool... but it's a long ways to drive for a tank of gas. :-)

~rolling eyes at you~

I didn't *think* you were gonna drive down here for a tank of gas. I thought perhaps you might fly down here to see an elf! :-D

Just relaying the shock at my prices after being up there for a few days. LOL Figured you'd find them amazing. ;-)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

That is about a mile from my mother's house.

Holy smokes, I hope her house is on higher ground!

The cousin who sang at my Grama's funeral lives in Vancouer, WA. Was some of her favorite cousins.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one...

Has Shoal Creek swallowed anything in downtown yet? I used to like going down and watching it during floods.

[Corin Stormhands]

Evenin' folks. I believe I've caught up.

Came home, got lots of work done. Then as it is such a nice evenin' I enjoyed myself an adult entertainment beverage out on the deck.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Has Shoal Creek swallowed anything in downtown yet?

Not yet! Getting close to flooding, though. Rain is supposed to continue off an on until Thursday.

[Wneighbor]

Hmmmm.... I got my laundry done from my trip today. Does that count? The rest of the day we drove around the countryside then ate at the all you can eat steak place. Only thing is, I didn't get any adult beverages. But, then, it doesn't sound like I'm under much stress does it? :-)

[Corin Stormhands]

Can we trade mailing lists that we're on? Somehow I've been put on a "friendsofhillary" mailing list. I'm sure that's somewhere between the third and fourth ring of Dante's Inferno.

I'll be using the BRE to "politely" ask her to take me off her mailing list.
