The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

Yeah. But I've got the Cubs game on the 'puter and the sound down on the TV with the captions on.

The place here has DirectTV which at first sounded pretty good...under $40. (I was paying $50 in Chapel Hill just for basic.) Then they started tacking on fees and made me angry.

If I didn't have the Cubs on I'd be streaming CSPAN.

And now you got a smiling pic of Tony Snow. It's a beautiful thing.

Huh... they didn't fix the fees for some period of time? Like, 6 months or so?

'Course, we have Time-Warner cable, and they're always raising their fees, too...

I pretty much decided that there wasn't enough good content on cable to be worth the money.

I'm getting to that point myself... we get a lot of channels that we never watch. Problem is, we can't pick and choose... it's either all or none. And to get the few we watch, we have to buy the whole package.

Dial up is too slow. Long as PBS minds its Ps and Qs, I'll be ok.

No more cable until they sell it by the channel.

Dial up is okay for streaming audio. I'm listening to the Cubs now....of course it's a subscription service ...

Who's Tony Snow?

Yikes, it's hot and humid here. Still in the seventies even though the sun has been down for awhile and we're getting lots n' lots of rain.

Which means...it's a lot warmer than that in here, even though I have all the windows open. And everything is damp. Ick.

Is there no commentary at all on the CSPAN one?

I could get behind that notion!

Oh...OK.

I don't have cable, so I've never actually seen Fox News, except occasional clips from the website. I know some of the names, but I'm not really THAT familiar with 'em all.

Oh wait, he's talking to Miss America 2003 now....
