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!

So we’ll be going down to Texas this weekend. Keep Talon’s whole family in your prayers please folks. Also selfishly, I have my final in the class I’ve been taking this weekend, I’ll be working on it in between travel and stuff so I could use prayers that I get a better grade than I deserve on that.

Dang...BOTH truck stops are packed to bursting. And they’re saying I-5 from 88 south to Chehalis may be closed for 36 hours or more, so I imagine it’s one big party. What else can they do if they’re headed that way?

Heh...no.

But it’d be interesting to be a fly on the wall...

If the restaurant wasn’t likely to be insanely, insanely busy, I’d suggest goin’ over there for burgers or something. Just to get in on the show. ;-)

Heh...that’s OK...

Are we at least done with the worst of the wind and the rain?

Should be done with the worst of the wind, may still rain hard all night. Of course, saying that, I still see some possible high winds all through the night tonight in the forecast.

Hopefully not.

Wow. Nothing like that inland that I know of. It was windy in GH this morning but only maybe in the 40s. But 120+ at sea around here is some pretty serious stuff. Dang.

The Col river bar is gonna be positively inhospitable in those conditions.

Anybody heard a surf report from there? We could be seeing some record waves.

Thanks 2J! Latest word is she’s doing pretty well and we’re going down Saturday. We appreciate the prayers, we don’t really know too much until the doctors can take out the breathing tube tomorrow.
