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!
May see some record flooding, too, though most of that will be south of here.
Hope the folks that commute from Chehalis to Olympia got home OK!
Kind of interesting info here, if you like poking around:

Clicking on the links to the various rivers brings you to data about historic floods and lets you look at current data. Most of the rivers in Lewis county are flooded, though not (yet) at record levels.
Interesting stuff...from a selfish perspective, since I don’t have any property in harm’s way. :-\
That's relatively good news. Y'all are still in thoughts and prayers.
We saw a few reports with the reporter standing on the beach. They had 100 mph winds there. The jetty at the Astoria bar was rather engulfed... would have been a wild day to try to ride it! Didn’t hear surf reports though.
I can’t believe you guys don’t watch the news when there’s storms coming!
I think your storms killed the thread.
Yup, nice.
It looks like a red x to me.
Stupid work blocking pictures.
Crazy day at work. Am happy to be home.
“I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.”
Yeah, my day is been :P
kin I go hom now?
Purty! The rainbow would be clearer with more clouds, I think...but I won’t wish for them!
Who’s that tearing like mad across the pasture under the rainbow? Can’t quite see. Pony?
Mmmm...home.
I have a new crochet project, my NaNo story, plus another one I started at about midnight...had to get up and write the first page so I could get back to sleep. Another mystery (though the mystery is a mystery to me so far), set in a small town, and the protagonist works at the grocery store there and hence hears all kinds of gossip and dropped comments and uses that to figure out the mystery.
That’s as much as I have so far.
But here I am, stuck at work. At least it’s busy.
Yeah - it’s a little greyer now, and a little clearer now, for that matter, a few showers coming through, but enough sunbreaks that it’s still a rather cheerful change.
That’s the old Bay man :~)
I’m making dinner and tissue paper flowers for the tree. Big’ol doesn’t like them (hehehe), sez they look like someone stuffed toilet paper on the tree. I’ve never seen lemon yellow toilet paper.
I’m also doing some Christmas shoppin’ online.
Guess he’s happy to see the sun, huh?
I would be too. Poor guy!
Yeah... they all went out and rolled in the mud and had a good ~scratch~
I haven’t made tissue paper flowers in FOREVER. I remember making huge numbers of them at one point, though. And I think they look very pretty when done right! Yellow sounds nice.
Hm...now I wanna play. Maybe I’ll see if Michael’s has any cheap tissue paper. They’re *kind* of on my way home. And I could look at yarn...
Nice picture, it could be used for some sort of logo. Who’s that galloping underneath the rainbow?
Hiya...speaking of gunnery...
the original and still champeen AK-47 had a single stack mag, right? A guy over here just bought a WASR with double-stack mags.
Nothing like baking cookies for stress relief. Talon’s work is having “Food Day” tomorrow so I’m sending cookies and of course taking a batch to my coworkers as well.
