The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And take the hidden paths that run...
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! |

No, the ones that I'm calling summer tires are all season tires. The ones that are on the van are winter tires...bit better for serious winter weather.
I figure the all season would work fine for the trip, even if we hit a bit of snow. Might be able to sell the snow tires. I might assign that to the boys...let them take commission. ;-)

Oh, OK, now I understand. Well, from Jen, it sounds like there's not a hugh snow problem in CO, so selling the winter tires is much more practical!

Yep! I'm thinking all season tires will be fine all year 'round in CO, so long as I'm careful. I've driven in snow with 'em here and they aren't horrible...but the snow tires do inspire a bit more confidence, especially if I have to deal with hills and back roads!

Not much of a problem except that they don't clear it up too well. There have been days I wouldn't have wanted to drive, but taking the bus means it's someone else's worries. Tonight we're supposed to get a couple inches, and I really hope we don't, otherwise church will be impossible and even getting to school to change the backup tapes tricky.

I realllly hope I can get a job in the city - hopefully The One Job...I'm more than happy to let someone else do the driving even on a reg'lar day!

Nope, not at all! Every name I recognize is the same, and they're even pronounced right. The biggest change is just the "setting".
I'm up to episode 11 - it's gorgeous and enthralling. So far the story has entirely focused on the revenge, I'm not sure whether we'll get any time devoted to what happened before, and it's pretty much entirely from Albert's point of view. It's been a while since I read the book and I remember more of the betrayal and less of the revenge bits, but it seems reasonable accurate... except for the sci-fi bits....

Good evening all...
Spent the day working on our business taxes. I don't have the forms filled out yet, but I know all the numbers that go into the forms, and that's about 7/8 of the battle I figure. So, since I've been working on it just under 6 hours, I decided to quit, relax, and leave the typing out of the forms for tomorrow. They don't have to be mailed until Tuesday, so I'm actually doing better than usual...

Wait a tick...
The story is told from Albert (Mondego?) 's POV?
Interesting.
And episode 11! They must be able to tell pretty much the entire story that way.

I love my TurboTax.
As long as you tell it the truth, it pops out as pretty a pile of paper as you could ever hope to abolish eventually.
What do you think: flat income or sales tax?

Also granted, I've only seen the "current" film version. But I know wife and I had some discussions regarding the book. She taught it this year.

I used TaxCut the previous two years, and TurboTax before that. Problem is, the business version is about $70-$80, and we just can't afford that this year. I'll use it for our personal taxes though, since I can get by with the basic $19 edition.

NRST, all the way. IMHO.

There are going to be 26 episodes total (with about 20 minutes of story per episode) - that's a typical season - and I have the first twenty to watch. I'll be rereading the book and let you know how much is accurate...
Yay, Albert Mondego, which really is interesting. I have to admit I remember the most recent movie version more than the book (and remember liking it more than the book!) but this is an interesting spin on it

I really liked the recent film version. What did your wife have to say about that, since I know they made a few changes from the book?

And she warned her students not to rely on the movie.
