The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Mmm... "high church".... I get to be at the family church this weekend. That's gonna be nice. It's definitely "higher church" than where I go now, and now's not too casual.

Man, I am looking forward to a really good sermon... pastor at my church does a good job but he's not into delivering... dunno... theologically deep sort of messages.

Don't ask me.

I'm hoping Sam Cree is right and we'll be skipped again this year.

Well, I figure the odds are against any one place experiencing a direct hit, especially from a major storm....here in So Dade Co we've already had one direct hit in recent memory by a cat 5, so I'm hoping lightning won't strike twice. At least not anytime soon.

I have to admit to being a little upset by this month early activity, though. When Dennis went by in the Gulf a couple days ago we experienced bands with that "rolling thunder" noise that I hadn't heard since right before Andrew hit the beach. It sounds like the grand finale at the Disney Fireworks show, but at a distance.

Hoping for the best, though, and keeping fingers crossed.

Someday, Ruthy, someday... start thinking about where now...

You could probably do New Mexico, I imagine the heat's not too far off from what you're used to and there's less humidity.

So, the next two weeks are going to be hard ones again ... But it shouldn't be much longer now.

Excellent!

Prayers for Emily to slide on by! I'm assuming all my family is OK. They are in MS, well to the west of Dennis, and would have only gotten some thunderboomers. I'm sure they're glad about that.

Hey everyone!
Sitting at the INCOSE conference in NY eating lunch. Got to love the wireless connection here.

I did not in-fact finish the Triathlon. But I did survive, so 1 out of 2 is not too bad I guess. I burned my self out by the really big hill on the biking segment :P
4 weeks is clearly not enough training. But I am highly motivated to train hard and do another one. I was pretty mad at myself for not continuing but that paramedic said I was skipping every 8th heartbeat so I figured continuing was pretty dumb. Much more training is needed! I need more swim practice so I am not wiped out after that and more biking practice on hills.

I know the sound you speak of. It unnerves me as well.

Not to mention, last year's activity caused less damage to my neighborhood than Dennis did.

Yes, the south side of my street was without electricity until yesterday afternoon. Luckily my side was unaffected.
