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!

The sky was a brilliant blue, and the canopy was flourescent red and yellow.

That combo is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in nature.

you know they wouldn't let me after I messed it up so bad that time...

I can't imagine you having messed up anything involving the military guys. When did that happen?

Let me go look...

OK. I'm back.

It's still breezier than normal, but we had only a few downpours from the storm here.

No flooding, thank goodness for that! Everything is muddy and mucky, but that's alright.

I do see a bunch of fresh limbs all over the ground. And they had just come through with the trucks last week to pick up most of the mess. ~sigh~

Glad it mostly missed you. Again. :-)

I think Galveston will not be so lucky.

I think the guys won't mind if they're not engraved. I think they are just thrilled with the idea of having such a wonderful tool at their disposal.

Only a real Floridian would describe a hurricane as "it's a little breezy" :~D

Glad it's past with no more harm done.

I think that's like a Phoenix resident describing the summer weather as "warm".

We've been so lucky since Andrew.

I really feel terrible for the folks who will have to bear the brunt of Rita, wherever she ends up.

Me too.

We had the shutters up this time and it wasn't anything like Katrina. We've decided to leave them up until hurricane season is over. :-D

I guess there are only a few storms that can build up enough energy to hit Florida with anything higher than a Cat 2.

I'm glad for that.

Holey Moley... little item from the live thread. Comparing Katrina and Rita at the same point in their journey west:

Katrina
82.6 W Longitude
969 mb
100 mph
TS Winds 85 miles from center

Rita
82.6 W Longitude
969 mb
105 mph
TS Winds 140 miles from center

Yeeeow.

Evenin'. I'm darn tired of bored meetings...Three in four business days. I said to the boss "what are you complainin' about? You scheduled 'em."

I'm headin' to Kentucky tomorrow for the weekend. Will be back late Saturday night. ~Should~ have Internet access whilst I'm there.

Got the message on the knives Hair. First month of skul gets tricksey, but will send more when I can.

300winmag, as for the engraving, if it gets 'em out quicker and cheaper, I'd pass on the engraving. I love it, and it's way cool. But I figger it's mostly for ~us~ anyway. And we're probably way beyond the point of ~needing~ to advertise.
