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! |

Well, even though we weren't familiar with Lladro, we knew it wasn't cheap stuff.
This one was made in 1969 and has been retired. We'll keep it as an investment for Luke.

Found it! And the figure's name is "Matilda". It's like this one, except her dress is gray and her trim burgundy.

We got a really nice rain! Steve had one of his most successful collections yet from his wetland! He left the house at 2:30am this morning. We took him lunch today.
Here he is drawing samples while the boys watch. This is at the effluent end, I think...where it drains out of the wetland.You can't even tell he's poured dye in it!

And my current book mentions the tragic fate of Tycho Brahe which adds to its coolness level immeasurably.When you gotta go, you gotta go!

To: Alkhin
LOL, Flora, yes. While I was reading that part I kept wondering why the Navy couldn't ~do something~ to protect him financially. Where I am now, he has Babbington back, and Stephen is trying to figure out the design of the ship.
I think Post Captain is difficult to get into because of the petty intrigues at the beginning. I suppose they are necessary for the story later on, but I could have done without almost 200 pages of pining over a woman who was only a tease at best.

I'm going to Ft. Walton Beach tomorrow for a (bored) meeting. But I'm feeling hobbity and don't want to go on any adventures.
To: Lil'freeper
I'm not really up for any adventures, either. This is a well-worn path for me down the HQ for a little fleshpressing.
The good news is I'll get to see my new toys down there. We're setting up our first SAN, and its some pretty cool gear.
I don't have to fire anybody, so that's a good thing.
I'll be getting my review while I'm there. Dunno what to think about that. Hopefully it will result in a nice bonus check, but there's just no knowin'...

Hi Ramius. I was wondering if you saw the article posted on FR, day before yesterday, which described the recent attempted piracy of 2 sailing yachts, one of which was named Gandalf, off the coast of Yemen. A hellacious sea story. Gandalf apparently also survived the Indian Ocean tsunami. They are having an adventure for sure.

San Fran, huh? Try not to get any weirdness on you. I envy the sourdough, though.

I *did* see that story. It got me to search around for a little more info on the two boats. It was the real deal, and a really compelling story.
Those guys were *really* lucky that the maneuvering happened to work out that the one boat was able to ram the pirate boat... seems like that really made the difference. Otherwise it would have ended very different, I think.

Fortunately, I don't have to actually go into SF. I just hit SFO and go south toward Palo Alto. Deep in the heart of Silicon Valley. Into the belly of the beast.

Yeah, but just think: you get to go home at the end of the week, and they're stuck there.
