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 grandmother got the kids a nifty little combination record player, CD player, and tape deck. It's nothing fancy, but works really well - and a lot of the stuff we like was never released on CD, so it's handy. ;-) There are also a couple of local stores that sell used records for not much more than a buck or so apiece, except for really collectable ones.
I'd like one of those little players eventually. I don't think it was that pricey, even.

According to the Katarina thread, the feds have taken over the evacuation proceedings. It seems like LA's airhead Dim governor hasn't got a clue.

Heh...judging from the comments on the live thread, I'd kind of gathered she was so worried about inducing panic that she was all but discounting the whole thing. Duh.

With all the reports coming in, I think it's time they panicked.

Hehehehe....rumor has it that she was staring at a cat 4 hurricane and she's out there telling people "it'll be a positive experience for us." Dumbnut!
To: Overtaxed
Yeeeesh...
There's a such thing as being upbeat and optimistic without pretending reality doesn't exist. Doesn't sound like she understands that concept.

When even the snakes are leaving, it's time to panic!
To: Professional Engineer
Been there, got the scars... glad they were able to do the laproscopy, by all accounts the "old" surgery was a lot worse. Speedy recovery to you!

What's the proper term for a group of snakes?

A slither?
You can't rollerskate in a cottonmouth herd.

Someone finally showed her a picture of this thing and she realizes it's not just people's imagination?

Yep. That's what it sounds like.

I read that the Gulf off of Ft. Myers is 93 degrees. Gasoline on a jet engine is an apt description.

I hope people have been ignoring her. Really.
It'd be really sad, seriously, if this ended up being horrible and she went down in history as the cause of people dying due to not getting out in time.

You can't rollerskate in a cottonmouth herd.Not without making a big mess, anyway.
But you can be happy if you've a mind to.
