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!
Well, the senior moment passed, we do have it on disc and there are numerous additional scenes.
In 1972 PBS had a rather lengthy Last of the Mohicans miniseries, ran about 8 hours as I recall. Naturally technically it couldn’t touch the movie, but is considered the most authentic dramatic presentation of the novel. There was very heavy rewriting in all of the shorter movies, simplifying the story, and switching romantic stories. Just two examples — Hawkeye has no romantic interests and Cora Munro was 1/4 black.
Sam Clemens famously hated the stories, because he did not like the older literary style of Cooper, and because Cooper did not hate all Indians. It is likely that he was not too happy about Cora’s race either.
I think we’re series enough.... of course we don’t know right now how our situation may change by next summer or the one after. Um... while I’d love a full week of rafting it might be more practical to do a camping/rent a house thing and have rafting day trips.
No, Corin, I’m not making announcements yet ;)
Personally, Corin, assuming for whatever reason I can’t go rafting, I’d rather hang out at the Canyon somewhere than in Vegas. ;-)
The popcorn is ready when you are.
Maybe check Goodwill and such? Garage sales?
I dunno!
If I run across any other Star Wars stuff, I'll let you know.
Put an ad up on Craiglist for a lunchbox like that and say you’ll pay $15, then if someone wants more they’ll tell you.
That’s not a bad idea, if’n Craigslist has a decent presence there.
What are you up to today? You ought to come over this afternoon and let Cisco play with Barkley :~)
Just playing with my new old typewriter, tidying, and making a big pot o’ soup to have for lunches or dinners this week. Maybe I could come over later this afternoon for a bit.
Check out this little tiny squirrel baby. That's a 2x2 next to him, so it's actual dimension is an inch and a half. Ain't he cute?
You’d think one of those peanuts would pretty much make a meal :~)
Dang, he’s tiny! Too cute!
I think he’s from the family that’s living in the barn :~)
What a cute bitty bebe squirrel!
