The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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 agree completely. politics stops at the end of the stethoscope. I truly hope for a complete recovery for mrs Edwards. The good news for her now is that breast cancer, found reasonably early, is one of the more successfully treated cancers today. huge advances have been made there.

Correction: for Mrs. Edwards, yes. For Yasser, no. The is no death for him that could be slow enough and painful enough to really do justice. The only justice will be in the fallout to his "friends".

There's an interesting thread tonight. Dunno what might come of it, but there is at least a good possibility that the LA Times really stepped in it with their story about the GI's that "witnessed" looting at the Al QaaQa site:

Gotta love Freepers.

I've got it so that now I'm only one day behind. Hopefully I can catch up this weekend between moving boxes. :)

I sure have a bunch of mcguffins in this story. :)

Wonder if they have a doctor yet. Bet they're wondering if they'll get sued if things don't turn out right.

I'm just wondering 's all. After her husband has sued doctors into bankruptcy I'm just wondering if they think twice about taking her on.

Possible. Then again somebody had to make the diagnosis.

Well if they make the diagnosis do they have to take up the treatment?

Is anyone left here?

I got home from anime club an hour ago... had to go lie down with a good book, but I'm ready to finish today's piece now. I am at 6425 and counting. Now I get to add rivalries between competing landscape design firms. Um. But it's a fantasy politico-romance, really...
