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

[TalonDJ]

I need a ~legitimate~ reason that someone with a high draft number would have been turned away in 1970. Don’t want it to be too debilitating, but something that would keep him out even though he wanted to go.

Are you series? That could add some very interesting plot twists.

[JenB]

Eeek!

I must admit, cats work better as characters in books than dogs do. Dogs conquering the world would be ridiculous. Cats, you could buy.

[Overtaxed]

Well....the dogs could be very sneaky about it.

[TalonDJ]

Are you series?

Yup, I heard of someone that got out because of that. I forget who, an uncle or distant relative I think.

[TalonDJ]

That would be why the dogs would be bad at it and hence why they fail.

[JenB]

Our dogs are not sneaky. They would start trying to take over the world and then we’d show up and they’d be cowering and hoping we didn’t punish them.

[Overtaxed]

I figure it’d probably be some ankle-biter type dog that would most likely try to take over the world.

We had a row of thunderstorms last night! Pretty loud storms for here, too, lots of booming and lightning!

I wanted to unplug the fence and the horses (Cyn mostly) seemed ill at ease running around, so we went and caught them and brought them in....

They always run out when it rains or hails on the building, but if they can just get over that, they realize it's not killing them.

Bay looks OK with it...

Pony was OK with it...

Cyn was mad ;~)

We got soaked :~D It was an adventure. I asked my honey if he thought we were crazy and what would he do without me and my wild ideas.

Here's a picture I took from the porch of the rain... It was really raining hard for over an hour after the lightning stopped. And it was really warm. Great for my freshly mowed pasture!

[Corin Stormhands]

I don’t have any animals that want to run outside when it’s storming. Sam wants to stay ~very~ close to protect us.

[HairOfTheDog]

That’s Homer, He wants to be right where we are, Gidget wants out to attack it. Someone wet the carpet, we’re assuming that’s Barkley’s way of handling it because that hasn’t happened before.

As for the horses, I just didn’t want them running with the fence off. Only thing is, in all the frantic running around, we didn’t actually unplug the fence. D’oh. I thought you were gonna do it. ;~)

I missed the thunderstorm, pretty much. Was tired and bored and went to bed about 9:30. Something woke me up that might have been thunder but it didn’t register. The clock radio was going all blinky-blinky so I puzzled about why the power had gone off.

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you at the Beach House or Bellevue?

[Ramius]

At the beach. Heading into the office later this morning.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well that would have been a fun place to watch the storm. Lots of sky... we don’t have sky here. :~)

The thread needs a dose:

[Overtaxed]

Izzit Friday yet?

[Lil'freeper]

How I wish. Today has been craptacular. And it’s only half over.

[Lil'freeper]

Might
