The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

Heya, I'm conducting an informal (but vey important) survey.

This link is to an image of a SAAB car. I need to know your first thoughts as to how you would describe the body style - or what type of car it is. First impressions only. Please please please..... I'm trying to prove a point to Big'ol. He's trying to tell me no one will think it's a station wagon. Heh

Good for gettin' groceries at 90 MPH.

It's an SUV. Four doors, extended enclosed cargo area.

Looks like a medium sized cross between a station wagon and an SUV. More boxy than a wagon, closer to the ground than an SUV. I like it!

I am pretty sure I have some place to be that evening. Not sure where... but I am sure there was something.

Big'ol likes it, too. SAAB makes much better looking cars than this one, tho.

Looks like the modern version of a wagon. It fits the trend for sleeker machines that fit the minivan functionality without the 'bla' looks. I bet it will hold a lot and handle well in traffic.
