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!

I finally got to my TV in my room in time to see McCain... he was spot on.

These 9/11 wives are about to ruin me for the night... wow. Moving. Very moving.

Hair - how about another sign, on your fence. "My Bush for President sign is exactly ___ yards from my house. My rifle is sighted in for ____ yards. So - Do you feel lucky today?"

HA! That would prolly work!

I really don't think many folk would be gutsy enough to come get it anyway. This is paranoia. They have to cross a lot of open green to get there.

Hair; true enough, wide open spaces are not the sneakers friend.

G'nite.

I need to work up the courage to tape a bumper sticker to the inside of my car... it won't win me many friends at the department, though.

If you had conviction, you'd actually stick it ~to~ the window and smile!

I have convictions. I also have a car that I want to drive for the next seven years.

I don't think it would.

Maybe I'll get some of those magnetic sheets so I can attatch it to my car non-permanently.

Add a sample silhouette target with a nice, tight group in the head area.

So many ideas, so little time and money. NVGs, either handheld or on a weapon, are always handy. They're getting cheaper, too. If it weren't for the critters, trip flares would nice. Can you run some electric fencing to it? How about some old-fashioned rocks-in-cans noisemakers on a trip wire?

The vaseline on the post sounds like a good idea for a last-ditch defense.

Rudy is doing great... I gotta wonder... he looks like he's doing this all off the cuff. I suppose he's got a speech on the prompter, but it sure does look like it.

Stickers do come off the glass with a razor blade.... seriously. Just don't put it on the paint!

It's surrounded by seven wires of electric fence!
