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!
Looks like they fixed the problem.
Dang...that’s a sudden temperature drop!
When I was at the health food store yesterday, they tried to sell me some nocaf flavored stuff that was made from grains, nuts, fruits and berries. I laughed out loud.

To...drink? What the...?
Yeah. One heckuva thunderstorm just blew through. :)
Heheh... How sweet...
Too cute!! LSA
Saccharine... levels... rising...
Finally talked to my office neighbors across the street. The subject was a dark-grey cat hanging around their porch. They started letting it in during the cold weather, and had it fixed last week, so I guess he picked himself a good home. It’s a full-grown cat, just beautiful, and I don’t have the slightest idea from whence it came. Can’t believe someone would dump a cat in the downtown area, but some louse dumped a old golden in this area last year. It got a great home with two doting youngsters.
Evening - yup, makes perfect sense..NOT. Sheesh.
Does Uncle Sam still prorate the per diem by quarter days? Six hour increments as I recall. Getting back to the duty station before 6 pm and you lost that last quarter day of per diem etc.
I think it’s based on travel days. The day’s I fly are 2/3 per diem. Honestly, in most cases the rates are extremely generous. I can almost always find a clean hotel in a safe area of town for less than the lodging rate. Similarly, you can gain serious pounds eating out on Uncle Sam’s dime.
Ungh. I am soooo glad it’s the weekend.
Even if it does mean less than a week until the trip.
Speaking of travelling, I am in Lothlorien, since TNT is showing TLOTR at 7PM EST Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the one year anniversary of when they showed it last year, while I was in the hospital.
