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

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! |

Lots of great lines in that movie.

If that thing follows very closely the path shown, I hope it goes right over Hispaniola. Not wishing it on the Dominican Republicans, and especially not on the Haitians, but that would take some of the bubbles out of her seltzer, to put it politely.
I see that So FL is well within the cone of death.

Evening.
We watched "The Alamo" tonight. There was onepoint where I wondered if Tolkein got his inspiration for Helm's Deep from the night attack on the Alamo. Santa Ana's soldados reminded me of the orcs. Except of course, in this case, the good guys were essentially anihilated.
To: Peanut Gallery
Interesting.... I haven't seen the movie "The Alamo"... so I can't comment on the imagery.

To: Peanut Gallery
Interesting idea, but I don't suppose that J.R.R.T got his inspiration there. I think his inspirations were somewhat more medieval.

Just don't make me an off I can't refuse. ;~D So... how pink did you want that ol' blue chevy? :-)
To: Ramius
Yeah, I was telling my mother about the movie and trying to remember my Texas history... Geez! Now that I think about it, I don't think the movie exaggerated much. Historically, it is pretty accurate.
Like Bear said, there were about 180 men, against (I thought it was 10,000 Mexican troops) 5,000. Sanata Ana was trying to save face since he had just had to turn tail after a hugh defeat 6 weeks prior. He *knew* that there wasn't a big garrison at San Antonio, and yet he sent his entire army there to capture/claim it. Santa Ana thought he was Napoleon or something like him.

but I do hope it stops before OT gets here Sat.It was a bit drizzly when we got in Sunday afternoon.
Outside of internet access issues, it's been a good trip so far. Got to leaf-punch some hops (mmmmm....hops...) this morning and do lab stuff on them this afternoon. The guy who runs the test plots also has a produce stand and a pick-yer-own operation and we snacked on marion berries, cherries, and blueberries all afternoon. He also has 5 laying hens. We finished up kinda early this afternoon so we took a side trip to a winery. Mmmmmm.....free wine tasting.
Tomorrow it's back to the hops and then off to the next site....beans.
I'll get off the hotel computer now and try to convince my laptop that I really do want a dial-up connection or hack the hotel hotspots. I can get the RV park across the street but I don't want to sign up for an account.
