The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Tomorrow we may come this way...
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! |

WOOHOO!!Just got sent an offer for that Web Administrator job I interviewed for last week, and have accepted it. Will start at 8am Monday.
It will be nice to have a regular paycheck again. It's been stressful at times, scrimping by from contract to contract. And it will be a big readjustment, having to go to work in an office every day after 14+ months of working (now and then) from home. Of course, I certainly don't regret quitting my job to move here! ;~D
Now, I think I'm gonna take my wife out for steak and lobster to celebrate!

Evening Ecurbh: Way to go that is great news.
To: 2Jedismom
Evening 2J - that looks fairly 'series' for the car, no way it should be leaking that much.
On the bright side. You and the Jedis have a science project. How sort of dispersion pattern of the pollutant will be seen come spring. I'll be Steve would help you set it up.

Evening Corin - the munge is working its way through our office, sounds nasty around there. Natch, 'pears I gots it. Looks like ten days to three weeks to run its course. Sigh.
To: 2Jedismom
Maybe you should ask the grandmother if she knew her car was leaking oil. She might want a mechanic to look at it...not good for the engine doncha know.

Woo Hoo! Now you can support Hair in the manner to which she'd like to be accustomed.

If you look at the picture where you can see my minivan, you can see those are pretty nice houses across the street there...those houses are in a newer, more modern subdivion. If I took a picture of what was behind me, you'd see a bunch of old wood frame homes. Mine used to be the nicest on the street, but a few people have moved in and started fixin' up the area...which is nice, but there are still some very low income people living in this neighborhood.
After speaking with my neighbor across the street, she told me the lady parking in front of my house is poor. She's raising her granddaughter after custody was taken away from her daughter.
So I'm glad I hadn't already said something to her. Her burden is heavy enough without me heaping more on.
I believe it's oil...and I believe it's so fresh that it's just being poured in and pouring out. Now I'm wondering what we can do to help...maybe Steve could at least take a look...
