The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 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!

Sheesh...no, I didn’t hear!

Some of the folks I worked with lived in Windsor. Hope all are OK...

Well apparently it went just south of Fort Collins. Windsor, which got hit, is basically the south end of Fort Collins. It starts turning into farms but there’s also a lot of new developments, condos, that sort of thing.

Greeley, which is thirty minutes or so east, got hit too.

They said it was a mile-wide tornado. Some of the pictures looked it. The hail was golf ball sized.

Mmmm...pen and pen-shaped objects pron...

Very nifty!

The Rotring fountain pen I have would probably make a good weapon in a pinch. The nib is...not exactly flexible or delicate. But it’s not as sharp as the Pilot VP retractable. That one bit Talon when he visited. It’s quite pointy in parts.

I like the Benchmade, though...

I can’t believe no one is posting much, this close to a triple precious!

In nearly 6 mos at The NewJob, I've never even logged on to FR at work. Toooooooo busy (sitting in bored meetings). Tooooooo many 'double-digit' days.

You think I can just take them back and say I don’t like them and return them?

Yup!

Also, any tips on a good place to buy glasses?

Nope - and I desperately need a new pair. Mebbe I'll try contacts again...

Yeah, the Benchmade site has cost me some money over the last year or so. Though mostly I buy through the knifecenter site.

Turns out, I’ve got lousy impulse control. :-)

He always looks as though he’s been “rode hard, and put up wet” as my dear departed Daddy used to say.

I baked some Tilapia this evening and made some Mango Relish to go along with it. Man oh man was it tasty! SirKit really enjoyed it. I though I was gonna have a lot of relish left over, cause I made a couple of cups, but he ate most of it.

I could have used some of the relish. We went out to dinner and both ordered the Carribean Chicken. But they were out of the fresh pineapple/mango salsa.

HEADS UP! If you want to see the International Space Station go over, it will be bright and almost overhead us on Saturday night. The track starts about 8:41pm in the Southwest sky, and goes overhead toward the Northeast. We just saw it go over a few minutes ago. It was very bright low in the Northwest, heading North. We didn’t stay too long out there, though, cause it’s COLD!

I found a recipe that has papaya as well as mango that sounds delish. Another recipe has you grill the mango before dicing it into a relish. Mmmm.
