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!

Oh my. :-(

I wonder if my family would consider coming for a visit now. Prolly not since it's barely a Cat 1.

That's the C4 punch. It's used to poke a cavity into the C4 so you can insert the cap and detcord (crimped with those special pliers jaws.)

Ah, OK. That explains why I didn't recognize it. ;-)

Sounds like a very handy tool if you need one, though.

Yeah, it looked as though Clare was going to be greeted by a hurricane her first full week of school, but it looks like it's going a little East of her.

Ruthy, looks like you got out just in time.

HEADS UP, Sam!

Yeah, but at least you can handle it from the comfort of your own home rather than having to deal with trying to get to/from an office in the middle of a storm!

Good thing I don't try to stay up like that on a regular basis. Ungh.

Need more coffee...

It was a fun show, though!

Thanks, Suzi.

Corin, don't you guys usually go to the Outer Banks for a vacation when these things come around?

Yep, I've got the "I Survived Hurricane Alex" t-shirt from 2004.

This one looks like it's tracking right up the sound to my brother's back yard. But hey, they double-booked us again. What should I care?

Looks like we'll just get some ~much needed~ rain. Still, it's nothing to snark at.

But if you want some really scary news. Since the waterpark is now closed on weekdays, Jr's been assigned to run roller coasters...

(at least my meeting ended early)

I would have let you take Luke yesterday. 'cept he's not tall enough for the coasters (and I couldn't even get him on the smaller ones).

He still has a couple of passes. When should he expect you?
