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

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

Metting her at baggage claim.

Yah... at Sea-Tac that's the only place you can get into. You'll want to park in 'hourly' parking. Endlessly circling ain't what it used to be. But parking should only be maybe five bucks, and it's probably worth it.

I'm just relieved for you. And if the horse-sitter is looking forward to it too, it's a win-win situation!

Sounds like we'll miss each other by some minutes. I'll be there about 8ish, but my flight boards about 9:30, and I'll be way up at the North terminal. You'll be somewhere around the A or D terminal for Southwest, I think.

Yeah - I'm gonna go in and meet her... we've never met so the drive by pickup isn't good for recognizing a new face :~D

A couple guys on the thread were talking about Dragon's Breath rounds...such a thing sounds like fun, if you don't set the front lawn on fire. 300winmag probably knows about those things.

I've seen videos of "dragon's breath", but I don't think it has the sticking power of something like napalm. I prefer flechettes. Damn shame there are no scimitar shotshells left. Those were basically a stack of razor blades inside the shot cup.

"Dragon's breath" has nothing on a little trick they invented for the 175mm gun in Vietnam. For direct fire, they didn't even use a projectile. The powder charge is five feet long, and they's soak every increment except the base in diesel fuel. The flame was 300 meters long. And except for a bit of soot, it left the bore nice and clean.

I have very strict rules about drinking and using firearms. Just don't do it. Problem is, it's harder to enforce the rules after about the fourth bourbon.

*grin* I won't bring up WeddingMoot then.

Although, I did wonder what your reaction would have been if one of those guns had actually shot a hole through the floor when you test-fired them.

That would be why they were pointed at the floor. :-)

*shakes head* Pure madness that.

Alyson has mastered getting out of the crib and has escaped her prison at least a dozen times since I've been online.

Drastic measures must now be taken, so I've gotta sign off and turn out every light in the house so I bore her to sleep. *grin*

See you tomorrow! Good night everyone!
