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!

Oh, and right before we sat down to eat (and before we realized some of the chicken didn't get done), I had warmed up Joshua's corn for him...so it worked before I tried to warm up the chicken.

You'd better not touch your car for a week or too, just in case your jinx affects that too...

Or the phone... the tv... the video tapes you use for school... maybe you're emitting weird magnetic fields.

Corin hasn't been by to touch your appliances, has he?

Glad you had a spare microwave!

Good morning!

Good morning! Another busy day ahead...first I have church, then we're going to grab lunch quickly and go to part of the LOTR marathon the church is having this afternoon, then we're playing a concert at another church this evening. It'll be a full day!

Tomorrow will be nicely relaxing. I'm still hoping I can do at least a short hike with some nice views in it.

Has anyone heard from the Floridians?

I just heard on Fox that an elevated section of I-95 (over the water?) had collapsed. Hair, if you're awake, please see if you can get in touch with folks ... worried here!

"a bit dark", well think 'winterset winter white' or then again, maybe not.

LOL! I was thinking about that...."yep...a few cans of Woodlawn Bedroom White oughta take care of it." Actually, I think it was all that drapery they're using. I haven't found any pictures of it on the Web.

Ruthy and Sam and trini were all fine last night in Miami.

I wish I could contact Kevin. I left my number with him, but the number I had to call him is disconnected. Must have changed since Entmoot and he didn't give the new one!

No problems here.

The breeze at our house has already taken on some southwesterly direction, which is a sure sign that the storm is beginning to move west to the north of us, thankfully.

I wonder about 95. Was talking to Jeanne about it last night, figuring it might be out of commission in places, which would seriesly complicate things if we decide to flee before the next hurricane, due here next weekend, I think.

This is worrying... how far from ksen is this section of collapsed road? That doesn't sound like minor damage to me...

I haven't seen a story or footage of the road collapse. I don't know where it is.

We don't even know if ksen stayed in town or went North.

Sigh... we need to give him "hurricane protocol" so next time we don't have to worry like this.

I thought we did! We didn't know about the number change. I gave my number out, maybe he'll call soon.

Can't believe they didn't shut off the power before it hit. Lots of lines down and they don't know which are live.

Oh, brilliant... they get these things there, you'd think they'd know how to handle it.
