The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

My sister and her kids, who evacuated New Orleans, went to Hattiesburg, MS. Just found out from my s-i-l who is in Jackson that H'burg is gonna get hit with Category 2 wind speeds! YIKES! That's what we had there during Camille. My b-i-l, the priest in Gulfport decided to stay, and go to his office, which is on the second floor of the old convent building. It is a concrete block, brick faced building and his Parish is about 20' off the level of the water, but Gulfport is getting the worst of this storm because the eye is going by just west of him. S-i-l says that there are reports that water is up to the second floor of the Beau Rivage Hotel/Casino, but it is literally ON the water. They were expecting 20-25' waves in the Biloxi-Gulfport area.

They can see the sky through the Superdome roof.

WHAT? I hadn't heard that on TV, but I just got in from a book sale at Joseph's school, so I hadn't seen anything from 9:30-noon.

I've had problems with hiccups the last few days, and I don't know why! Last night I posted on the Live Katrina thread, and it showed up THREE times in a row!

As hasty as folks over there are now, I'm surprised you didn't get reprimanded.

It's hard enough finding news over there, much less hiccups...

Actually, it was a response to that goober who made the suggestion about dropping a nuke into the storm. That may not have been on one of the Live:Katrina threads.

They made the suggestion on the thread and then posted their own thread.

No doubt that person needs to be told things repeatedly anyway.

Hehehe, yeah, that was a dumb one.

Sigh. This week is going to be just as busy as last week.

Yeah - but you can't control it. You'd be fighting nature. I've been trying to say that to someone else who's bellyaching about the content on threads.

I know. But speaking as someone who would never lob an irrelevant smart@$$ comment into a situation, it offends me.
