The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

And we’ve asked my folks to get a cage for them, so they should be ok.

OK, that answered my question. We were visiting friends one night, and her sister was over with her two 'show' Corgis. Our David was about 2 at the time, and he and one of the dogs chased each other around that apartment all evening. Finally, the dog crawled into his crate and David crawled up on the couch and they both collapsed, exhausted. They had a great time though, and the woman who owned the dog was surprised that they did so well together.

He’s short but he’s probably about the same weight. He’s very... dense. He weighs 47 pounds.

Rats...missed ‘em.

The rehearsal was good. I’m breaking in the hotel room now.

Needs a DVD player. Not necessarily for us.

Provisions are laid in.

You could put it on top as long as you don't ever intend to run for President.

HA!

Finally got around to mailing that Star Wars Episode 1 book for Luke on Friday. I hope it will be there by Tuesday. Ain't guaranteeing anything. Apparently I missed the deadline for the guaranteed 3 day Priority Mail, which was Thursday. No telling if it actually would have gotten there even with that. I mailed a small box of gifts, by First Class Mail for the kids' stocking for our family party on Feb. 5th. The party was on the 16th and it STILL hadn't arrived. It came the following day. I guess since I didn't spring for the Express mail fee, they decided to take their sweet time about it. GRRR.

Good Morning All -

Well OT, ‘s’ word again, wonder if any of the weatherwonders will get it right this time. They are giving themselves a 2” to 5” range this time.

Bread, egg-nog, kitty litter, well, you know the drill.

Stopped by Sear-Grand on the way home last night to check out the tool sales. Found the flourescent work light unit for the 19.2 battery pack. On sale too, heh-heh. Been looking for one of them.

Had the ‘end of the year’ buffet today at work. Over the years, it’s morphed from Christmas to Holiday to End of the Year. Sigh. I detest PC speech. Still, lots of good food and home-made treats. Monday is a work day, but like many, I’ll use a day of vacation and stay home. Don’t think there will be many there.

To all those who travel, safe journey.
