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!

I dunno...quarter to eight, maybe?

I’m also realizing I can’t remember the name of the place, which is a problem. :-\ I know it’s kind of across from the other garage, and maybe it’ll be obvious when we get over there, but there are an awful lot of garages along there. I was handed just the phone number when I made the appointment.

I suppose I could call garages and ask if they’re the right one, but that’d be rather embarrassing...

Prayers for you and yours. We got the 'not really a frown' expression that says 'Oh isn't this a swell development' but not outright disowned. Of course the .380 caliber present for her sister was the most not amusing. I have not caught up on the thread, did she tell everyone we took siblings and dad to the local indoor range? Much fun was had by all.

Good morning...

We are home.

I’m watching the carp going on in Pakistan. She’s still sleeping.

Prayers up.

Other HH Prayer Warriors: a much less serious, medically-related, unspoken prayer request from the new ExGeeEye family.

My middle bothers got some folding knives and my sister got one of our .380’s. She’s on her own and in a not that secure place and where she parks her car is apparently just scary so she’ll have to see about getting a concealed carry permit.

She loved it. My dad thought it was a great idea so Mom couldn’t complain that much.

Eh, all parties involved were independent adults. And Talon gave everyone a safety course and we took most of them to the range (Dad and five out of six siblings; the little guy doesn’t like loud noises and Mom had to stay with him and the rent-a-kid).
