The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

Just try to bite your tongue and say the opposite of your first instinct.

heh heh... just got a letter fer jury service, Feb 7th - May 2nd... heh heh heh...

You'll never get accepted for a jury (especially after the first ten seconds of questioning), but you'll spend a lot of time in the jury "day room". Bring lots of reading materials. Leave lots of it for other people to read, and take home. Gun and reloading magazines are especially popular.

Hehehe....

I had a co-worker once from Johnson County (NC) who told me about the time he got called up for jury duty. A slick Raleigh lawyer was having a hard time seating an anit-gun jury. He'd get these grannies describing their arsenals: "I used to go shooting with my husband."

Well, you could list occupation as part time teacher in X school district. That should get you advanced to round two of questioning.

Heh...they had a trial up here a year ago...the lawyer wasn't from the area...wanted to rule out all potential jury members who owned guns. Everyone in the pool raised their hands.

He had to adjust his thinking a mite.
