The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

I got Linguistic Intelligence too. Then I changed the answer I hedged on and got Spatial.

I guess that makes me a half-wit.

I got kinesthetic/athletic. What a joke. The smallest ball I could hit with a bat is a beach ball.

Yawn... sleepy... gotta get the trash out now...

We bought the floor for the basement last night. And found clearance tiles that we're going to use around the fake fireplace. Hadn't intended to buy those yet but they won't go to waste. And Talon needed a better drill for drilling into the basement floor so we got a hammer drill.

I'm getting my stuff together to go sit in a meeting. It'll be a boring meeting except for the fact that the other folks are such pleasant people to be around. Sure beats hanging around the office.

I wish!!

It's snowing again. I want it to just be enough to cover the brown grass and make it pretty!

Unfortunately, the roads are awful.

We're supposed to have some snow tomorrow morning. I'm not sure how much they're expecting, but I don't think we've had more than 2" at a time YET this winter. That's ok by me!

A Harry Potter thread and you guys didn't ping me?

I'm hurt...

Doesn't look like this one has gone downhill yet, though. Maybe all the protesters are all worn out now. Mostly I'm just realising how much I've forgotten since I last read 'em.

Hey, it was early on the right coast.

Blame Jen. She's the one making googly eyes at Talon over there...

Harry Potter is the devil you know.

Our local news website posted this!

SNOW-klahoma,
where the cold fronts sweepin' down the plain;
And the piles of sleet beneath your feet
Follow right behind the freezing rain.

SNOW-klahoma,
Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Travel home from work and hope some jerk
Doesn't wreck our car in passing by.

We know we belong to the land
But it could use more salt and more sand!

And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin' you're slick as snot,
SNOW-klahoma!
SNOW-klahoma, Oy Vey!

Yeah, I need to go back and read at least the previous two! Surprisingly, I've only read Half Blood Prince once!
