The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

~sigh~

thesportinggoodsstore didn't bother to tell Jr. he had to be 18 ('cause they sell guns) to werk there until he went in for the interview. it was just a misunderstanding, but they could have told him when he put the application in.

If that's true, I'm surprised it's not 21... If they sell handguns.

Not sure what all they sell, but they said it was 18.

'sides we don't (yet) live in a socialist state like you do. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

You can poke fun all you want, but Washington has far better gun law than any other state I've ever heard talk of. I'm surprised the laws other HHDs live under.

You have to be 21 to own a handgun, younger for rifles, but we've been a shall-issue state for CWP since before it was fashionable. Our permits are issued in three days... (they used to be instant, but the new mental health record check slowed it down) and they last 5 years. We don't have to take any safety class or pass any tests, all non-felons who aren't certifiably insane can get a CWP. :~D

Good gun law, no state income tax... they may be socialist in some ways, but so far not the ways that really matter.

What got me in your state was working with union workers. Virginia is a right to work state. When I was doing an event at the convention center in Seattle, I was feeling the time pressure since I'd been putting in 16-18 hour days for the preceeding month.

I 'bout started climbin' the walls when the workers sat down for their lunch ~hour~. And of course, since it was union, I wasn't allowed to do any of the work.

I soon learned that was not uncommon in other cities. Just new to me.

I have the same complaint about union workers...

I especially resent that state workers are union.

That's like a double curse. Government employees in Virginia aren't unionized. They have an association that lobbies on their behalf, but that's it.

Still, they're ~mostly~ vermin. ;-)
