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!
You can have the wedding precious.
Mornin’ osage.
We have the “Holiday Luncheon” Thursday. Bossman asked me why I didn’t participate in the “Secular Holiday Choir” (advertised thusly). I said “I don’t celebrate secular holidays.”
Weather Underground says we have a 20% chance of snow on Christmas. We haven’t had a white Christmas in the 13+ years we’ve lived here.
Heh. At least they weren’t pushing compact fluorescents on you at werk.
Hope the roads are clear early Monday morning.
Well, I’m off. Might be back before it’s time to git hitched. Just a couple more things to do.
Morning Corin - that was a great pic; ‘Secular Holiday Choir’?!?!? wow - PC run amok.
We’ve had a few white Christmases but not all that many. Not any that come to mind in recent years.
Morning OT - we’re back, all quiet in theshire. Gots to make a bird-seed run.
Monday should be fine, the MoDOT and KDOT crews have been pretty diligent this year. You should be fine.
Is MissKitty getting her frequent traveler miles credit to her account.
Yeah, I guess she is. Dunno what special kitteh perks come with that, though.
Well, I’d think ‘fancy feasts’ would be appropriate as an award for each round trip. :-)
You get the ‘free drink’ coupons, she get’s a similar treat.
Best wishes today and into the future!
Looking forward to the pictures and report!
Wonder if they do special diet cat treats....
I think we’ve got freezing rain....it’s sounding rather brittle on thesunroom roof.
Yup, particularly unpleasant sound. Seems we seldom get a snowfall without freezing rain and/or sleet ahead of it.
Gypsy is not amused.
In other news, got some bird feed, another inverter, and coffee beans, though not all at the same place.
Checked the weather before reviewing the posts and it’s somewhat interesting both Hair and 2jedismom have the same weather going on - same temp and same ‘light rain’.
G’nad - it’s likely headed your way.
ROTFL!! That’s a good one!
I don’t think it’s supposed to snow here on Christmas Day, but we still have a foot and half on the ground. Even with about 46 degrees and rain tomorrow, it still won’t make a big dent in the snow cover, so we’ll still have a White Christmas. ;o)
Salt truck just went by...
...just went by in the other direction...
We would expect nothing less from the Perfect Village street folks. We saw three local trucks heading out this morning, hope they remember to head back this way. Got the vehicles tarped.
Fogot to mention that I found a nice Stanley philips head screwdriver on our walk this morning. Hadn’t found a philips head before.
Philip’s head...oooooooo.....
Salt truck again. :)
FWIW, we don't really have that problem as severely in our org... Our "Holiday" par-tay buffet was blessed by a Catholic deacon and we had Catholics, Protestants, Mormons and Muslims in the room. :)
Our Admin decorated a Christmas tree outside her office... with little toy soldiers, nerf hand grenades, yellow ribbons, and paper stars from the Army logo. With red, white, and blue lights, of course.
The ACLU will never get God out of the Army.
