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, if'n Jr. don't get better grades this next year, I'll have to use some of it to buy some college a building or two...

[HairOfTheDog]

Fabulous letters. I wonder if you can post the pic the one pilot sent?

We really must just buckle down and send money to winmag, folks... we can't let these people down.

[HairOfTheDog]

We're watchin' JAWS :~D

And Ramius.... we got you a new movie today, to replace the dup.... We got you a movie you can't refuse...

[JenB]

If you're rich, he doesn't have to go to college.

[Corin Stormhands]

I just surfed to "Animal House"...

[300winmag]

And along with those nice emails, some picures.

First, LT Craig W. and the new Hobbit Hole Gerber:

And another pilot from the same unit, LT Washington, who would also like a Gerber:

[Ramius]

I'm tryin' ta do my part.

[Ramius]

We got you a movie you can't refuse...

hehe.... OK...

[HairOfTheDog]

Great... I was just asking if we were gonna post the pics.

We're definately sending more $$$ each and every payday, though we wish we had more. With all this feedback, I am really 'born again' on this project... Not that we can afford to send really expensive knives to everyone, but I just want to make sure we can do what we can without sending you to the poorhouse! Hound us for cash.... guilt us for cash.... please!

[Ramius]

I'd say LT Washington gets a gerber... and my cell phone number... :-)

Just kidding...

[HairOfTheDog]

Thanks, we are too, though ecurbh's cutback has come at a bad time where extra money is concerned... still, we live cheap, we can send something.

[HairOfTheDog]

LOL!

[HairOfTheDog]

Do you already have it?

[Ramius]

Do I already have what?

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh ... The Godfather ;~D

[Ramius]

hah! Nope... but a good addition...

[HairOfTheDog]

That was the joke: "we got you a movie you can't refuse..."

[ecurbh]

The Godfather is the I Ching... The Godfather answers all of life's questions. What should I pack for my summer vacation? "Leave the gun, take the cannoli."

[Ramius]

I still like the expression: "It's time to go to the mattresses".

Nobody gets that anymore...

[Ramius]

Maybe Dona would like it.
