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!

Holey smokes. And me out of town, traveling, without my “go-bag”. Dammit. I knew the end of the world would happen like this.
Drat.

Speaking of endings-of-the-world are y’all tracking this bidness in Peru tonight? Maybe five quakes in rapid fire... 7.9, 5.8, 5.9, 5.9, 5.0.
Wow.
Shame it hits those nice people in Peru. Prayers up. Why not someplace more useful like Venezuela? (oh... sorry Lord... my bad).

I think it depends how you count them. But the basic point remains that there’s a whole-lotta shakin’ goin’ on down der.

Wanna go sit on the jetty and watch for tsunamis? :~)

You bring the lawn chairs and the rope. I’ll bring the beer.

Elvis Aaron Presley
January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977
And for today:
1) If Jen asks "Who's Elvis Presley?" we may have to slap her.
2) To further the interpretation of Tolkien's work, consider the possibility that when Aragorn said "He needs Elvis medicine" that he knew the properties of lembas were akin to fried nanner sammiches.
Discuss.

Good morning...
Hmm, looks like we're getting more of Erin than was earlier predicted. Rain is already starting, and is expected to continue through Saturday.
To: JenB
I kilt it pretty good, didn’t I?

Good Morning :~D

Batter down your hatches :~)
To: HairOfTheDog
... but if we
batter them down, then they won't provide any protection.
(we may batten them down instead...)
