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!

Yikes. To me tonadoes are scarier than hurricanes. You can run from a hurricane because you know it’s coming.

I have to go in and reboot servers by as close to six as I can get there.

Do I win?

Only if you have to stay in the server room all day I think.

Hopefully it’ll be a good day at our office, last summer’s intern is coming back as a hire today and the team I’m on will be at four people now. Which is double what it was three months ago.

Howdy... Had to feed FOUR ravenous kittens before I could even have coffee. Then they go back to bed.

Staying in the server room wouldn't be punishment...I might be able to nap without anyone knowing...

Tam screamed all night again.

And I want to do some writing, even though I don't really have any ideas. I hate it when the drive comes without there being anything on which to use it.

They pretty much only have two modes, don’t they? ;-)

Is Butters eating on his own again, or is he still being a baby?

Butters is eating really well now. Pigging out. Some of the others are starting to nibble the hard food too.

I think it’s time I should start advertising them. Just not sure where. I don’t like the idea of handing them off to strangers, I’m not good at giving animals away, hence my pony.

DO YOU want any? :~) Need to decide! I’d love for you to have a couple of them, two less to worry about finding a home that will actually do shots and fixing and not have them end up in harm’s way.

You’ve got to get him a kitten. Or start locking him in a cage on the front step at night.

Well, look at this kitten! He's Butters! loo loo loo, I got some apples... loo loo loo, you got some too....

Yesterday we had two adventures... took the kittens outside for a bit. And were a little too busy to take a lot of pictures... when they weren't using my honey for a jungle gym, they were running everywhere!

Also introduced them to our BIG "kittens". Pippin was a little hostile, Tweek a little less so, though they mobbed her and that intimidated her quite a bit.

MOMMY?
