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

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!

Me either. Nor anyone else of my acquaintance.

The m/b does have onboard USB, and there may be a conflict. I think we exhausted the posibilities of BIOS, and I ain't messin' with the m/b jumpers.

What got me was that there was no weather involved in causing that ice... mist from a nearby lake had condensed and frozen on the road overnight, made a near-frictionless surface.

While I was catching a ride back to town, someone coming from the opposite direction saw my car in the ditch and decided he had better slow down. Touched his brakes, lost control, and went off the opposite side of the road. Car landed on its side among some trees about 20 feet off the road (driver wasn't hurt).

A sheriff's deputy who showed up just before my Dad and I arrived back at the scene, decided not to issue any tickets when he slipped and nearly fell on his butt getting out of his car....

Hmmmm....conspiracy theory....the Small Appliance Union, Undertaker's Laboratory, and the Bad Housekeeping label in collusion with the Evil OverToaster aka The Toastmaster.

All this talk of snow makes me want to go out and buy some Thorlo socks.

All this talk of snow makes me want to go to Fargin' Australia.

Fargin' is just a walkabout southwest of Alice Springs, IIRC.
