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! |

Oh man, that's some cool stuff!!
I've done the three-day food and water thing, but it's portable...all condensed in one place in the bottom of the hall closet. Papers are there...will have to remove the hard drive in my PC...no problem. All I need is an envelope of cash...I have $20 in change, in case we have to hit a toll road.
If we have to leave (which we would do if the storm appears tornadic when it's on the way), then I can do it pretty fast. I guess we'd go up to Minnesota and stay with Steve's mom.
Mostly, I just think I'll need to be ready to hunker down without electricity. Possible damage to the house. In that case, I think I'm ready.

LOST was terrific!
Of course.
I'm gonna watch Invasion and go to bed.
See you all tomorrow.

Hi and goodbye!
Have been off fixing up our Houston office for email and data in the coming (presumed) off-grid days. They're gonna get pounded, methinks.
Evenin' all! [sip]

Heh... saw that plane land. Wow. Masterful job by that pilot, IMHO.

That wasn't a spoiler, that was a reference to the ad campaign for "Invasion". ;)

Saw the replay (missed it live while watching "Lost"). It really was an incredible bit of flying, err landing, on the part of the pilot.

Well, like we used to say... any landing you can swim away from is a good landing. :-)

That Pilot is going to have a hell of a hard time paying for his own beer for some time to come!

A good rule, but remember Air-odyessy Flight 90?
Potomac River,Ice, fuel, 10 below? Ugh!!! No thanks!
To: Capn TrVth
True. But even with the rule, that one was a double-plus non-good landing. :-)
