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 hate it when I try to check the world and FR is down.

Disconcerting, isn't it?

Thanks, we’ve thinking ‘series’ly about getting one. This may help separate the tech-speak we get from the sales guy.

Congrats - I hope you’ll do us all a favor with a Win-mag tech and range report. The one-round carbine and sidearm combo has always been a favorite of some of us.

Roger that. News I can get anywhere. But it's curious how it has become the ~comments~ that interest me more.

Hey, I got browbeaten into submission when I suggested maybe kinda sorta skipping this year, so nobody else skips either!

Well, of course.

Everyone wants to know what I think about things.

I've got an opinion, and I'm not afraid to use it!

http://www.truckpoetry.net/resources.php Look at the Online Character Creator here. Pretty cool tool for those of us who can’t think up minor characters to save our lives...

Truly a ‘nanny’ state.

Yup and I used it as a source of her quasi-sociopathy. Empathy wasn't her strong suit; every action was a calculation to serve her own interests.

That is neat - shame it doesn’t have a terrorist creator. I need a few more. Roaming militia-types and all.

January’s perfect! It’s winter so not much is going on in the garden and it has 31 days (February only has 28 days - or is it 29 next year?) In March, gardening chores are getting started again.

I might find it useful... who knows.

I now know how the heroine meets her husband (act I). I know what happens next, vaguely, but need details (part II). Part III I think will be driven by what happens in the first couple thousand words so I don’t need to plot too strongly plus I have a clue what it is. So I just need part II and then I can start plotting.

I have four full characters and placeholders for a couple more.
