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!

They're already evacuating. This may be the one we're talking about for years.

Have you been keeping up with the Katrina thread? Someone said the Dimwit LA governor saying "it will be a positive experience for all of us."

I didn't see that but I did see the comment from the CNN weatherchik that said "if the pressure drops that's good for us"...

And you know, it won't be the stupid ones that get blowed away.

LOL!!

Yeah they were talking about that on the thread. There's nothing quite like embarrassing yourself on national television.

The concept of evacuating out of the path of something that is a few states in diameter is a concept I can't imagine either. Where would we go, if we were in Louisiana with three horses, a couple dogs, and not very much time?

Their choice is getting hit really hard, or just a little less hard.

I think you'd make choices you wouldn't want to make.

True enough.... Like taking them to Texas.

Speaking of Texas.... I hear the rally there had a great turnout.

But if that thing hits New Orleans - it's below sea level, it's practically built on mud - getting out of the city has to be a good idea.

I'm very glad I don't live somewhere that gets hurricanes. My one friend is from New Orleans and his brother's a cop there - bet the cops don't get evacuated...
