Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Whoa!! See that car behind the shark? If that happened to me, I'd be a disaster. I'm sure I'd have a nervous breakdown right there on the spot. Or a heart attack (with my cholesterol).
evening re: cannas, well, they do need a lot of sun, the height isn't a problem, some were a short variety others medium and some tall. The ones we have blooming are from the latter to, our short ones haven't come on either.
re the musket, well, if you're so inclined, have it checked out. Use about 70 grains of FFg, musket caps and a patched .670 cast round ball and you're in business.
A lot of scenes like that all over Richmond tonite Sam.
Jr. has a laptop. If we lose power though, I can't run the modem.
Sheesh! I missed the shark!
Quotes FDR: "...a rendezvous with destiny."
IIRC, Ronaldus Magnus quoted that one rather a lot.
At least you didn't jump it...
Ahh...
That's what I like about Matthew's laptop, internal 56K modem. Sure, it's dial-up...but it works when the lights are out! :-)
It's one of the one things I insist on...the battery must always be powered up. Learned that lesson when the power went out for those couple of days. After the roof of that house nearly hit me...
There's a slideshow with some pics here:

Corin - glad you made it, long drive, good time for the "LOTR on tape". Trucks are right handy.
We had some good rain Friday night. 5 to 6 in in a narrow band through downtown KC and the Plaza. The new flood improvements are working though, no massive flooding but several interstates were closed temporarily. We got an inch and half. Was a different story in 1998.
Sam & Ruthie - prayers that Frances takes a wrong turn and heads back out to see. Take care down there.
The light show just to the north of us only needed the backdrop of Mt. Doom to make it complete.
Holy cow! McCain is talking about Michael Moore and the camera is panning him!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Good one, John...
Michael Moore just got SKEWERED!!!!! WTG Johnny McCain.
It's okay bear, I remember her.
Oh, good. What was said?
GRR, still can't get Java to work. I'm taking it in tomorrow. The good news is I now have several names worked out for my prospective NaNoWriMo story, and I've decided that "modern fairy tale" is the way to go.
Goodnight, y'all. I'm going to listen to the rest of McCain, and then crash.
The audience screamed for forever. Camera cut to the worm.
Then McCain said, "That line was so good, I'll use it again!"
More screams.
But to continue, he said: "Contrary to what a disengenuous film maker would have you believe, Iraq was not a paradise of peace...." and went on to list the horrors of Saddam's regime.
At some point Jabba the Moore held up his hand in a "L" for loser. Takes one to know one.
I wish there was a way to turn down the sensitivity on it. Not sure how it works well on a door in a house, seem my house moves ~that~ much walking around in it.
Any ideas?
