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!

Maybe show is more of an anamoly around your place, but even here, when there is a snow coming, the TV stations act like it never happens! They put people in every large town, standing on a corner, in the snow, talking about how it is snowing. *shakes head* Guess they gotta fill the time with something!

Are you getting a winter storm warning there?

Apparently we're having really nasty weather predicted. I went to do my Friday shopping over lunch and it was like Invasion of the Ancient Toilet-Paper Seekers.

We've got severe thunderstorm warnings. It's supposed to turn into snow Saturday night/ Sunday morning before clearing out.

Now, it wasn't ~my~ weatherwoman, it was Katie Horner on Channel 5.

In other news, I have almost completed the task of ripping the wallpaper off in the entry hall. Still have the paper behind the piano, and all the backing to remove, but, at least I am at a point of no return!!

I'm now going outside to rake and overseed the backyard, and put starter fertilizer down front and back.

Heh... They do that there too? It seems a little like sending reporters out in the the sun in Phoenix saying "man - it's really HOT out here!"

So I have this dawning realization...
I use to think if I did not know enough about what was going on here at work it was because I was not in the loop and that there was this big loop that everyone was in but me. But as my career has progressed it has become clear that there are actually many smaller loops some of which overlap and many of which conflict. Now I realize that the loops are freaking tiny and some of them encompass less than one person. And really are not that many of them to begin with.



... Is it time to go home yet?

I have no idea what you're talking about. My brain is fuzz. Is it time to go home yet?

By the way, did you go home at lunch and feed the dogs or are we starving them thinner?

I have a lot left to do here (that I said I would do today). So it will probably be a while.
