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!

Mornin' folks. I don't know how much y'all are seein' nationally, but Richmond and Chesterfield County (where I live) are one muddy mess.

Sam - the Shockoe Bottom area has been condemned, it's all mud and water.

My office is just a couple of blocks up. We have a delayed opening today and I ~think~ I know how I can get there. But I'm not taking any chances if there's mud or standing water still. For some reason the (rat bastidge lie'bral carpetbaggin' tax tax tax lying) powers that be thought it made sense to close some of our buildings, but not all.

They've evacuated a lower part of the county due to an anticipated dam failure. I'll post some pics when I find them.

Suzi - I was NOT born in 1957...

Okay, the building I park in is CLOSED. I'm NOT going in.

And if they try to make me count it as personal time, I'll just kill 'em. That'll solve a number of problems.

Good morning! Very, very soggy out there and the rivers are running high...but not over the road anywhere, so we're doing far better than Virginia. How are things today, Corin? Assuming you have power...

Sounds like one barrier too many between you and work today. I don't want to go in either.

Frances looks to be headed your way. You folks OK?

So far, we have evacuation plans to head for Clearwater (on the west side of the state) if we need to go. But I won't make that decision until Friday probably.

I remember being dry when I was younger.

We've had 32 inches of rain since June. 1/4 of that was yesterday.

My offices are now opening at noon. I'm still thinkin' I just won't bother.
