The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Pass them by! Pass them by!

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!

Well, it's only fair! We've had our share of them in Florida.

Be careful with that lightning!

I've always just figured that by Thanksgiving, we're in the clear when it comes to hurricanes. LOL!

Only a couple months left to go. I can't wait because I am exhausted by these storms.

Guilt free, as long as I don't think about the unstarted assignments for Parallel Programming and AI...

But I'll start on AI Sunday afternoon.

Thanks, both of you! It makes me feel good when something goes so right! This assignment was a lot of work, and a lot of fun, too.

Yah... The blackberry phone... Its got a reasonably servicable browser. Though... Scrolling is a bugger. They forgot to add an «end» function. Getting to the bottom of long threads is a real workout for the thumbs. :-)

I like using it for news. Got a bookmark for FR breaking news... It helps during long meetings.

Well, glad you still have your house and you aren't surrounded by short people singing about "the witch is dead".

I'm praying for you all up there and will add a special prayer for your wife's co-worker.

Natural disasters happen so quickly, yet the after-effects can last forever. :-(
