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!
Help! The trolls have me trapped.
It’s Friday fercryinoutloud....
mmmmmmm...steaks and shrimps and beers...
When the trolls let me go I called the Mrs. and said, “We’re going out, I need beers.”
Nano plotz.
I haz one.
*sigh*
I didn’t get outta work until quarter of seven.
At least it’s now late enough that I have an excuse to just goof off. No use in starting anything.
Heh...been there, seen that.
Evening Talon, nice going on cleaning up the trigger. It sure doesn’t seem to take long till the ‘after market’ firms start supplying what the manufacturer should have put in the first place. Taking a gun apart and putting back together with new parts in it and still having it work is no mean feat.
Um...it was almost 8 (granted EST) when I got home...
I got home about quarter after seven. Still a long day, especially starting out with such a long time in the car in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I just don’t handle that well.
And I spent much of the afternoon in the server room.
I’m *almost* thawed out.
Question: I’ve got a whole series of sites tonight that I can’t seem to access. They’re all political. Some left. Some right. Other sites seem to be okay. But I’ve found at least 3 or 4 right now that, when I go to them, I get a “Microsoft Explorer cannot load this page” error.
Thoughts?
I think there was a thread earlier tonight about other people having similar problems with Michelle Malkin’s site (one of the ones I can’t get to). But I can’t find the thread.
They say it is a sitemeter/IE incompatibility. So try Firefox.

OT, it’s going to be a miserably hot weekend. So, here’s an idea for you! Missouri has a sales tax holiday this weekend, and there is NO sales tax on clothes, school supplies, computers or computer software (up to $350). Now is the time to buy the stuff you need but haven’t gotten around to getting because, like me, you hate to shop. The sting is taken out of the purchase price because there is no sales tax, zip, zero, nada.
Dillard’s has some great deals, and many items are 40% off the lowest marked price. I got two great items of clothing, $60 regular price, $18 final price!
Believe me, I know how you feel! But after we take Gyps for her walk, I’m going to grit my teeth and hit the local mall and save the d@&m sales and TIF tax on some stuff I really need. I very seldom shop there because I just hate to pay the TIF lug so I will really enjoy this shopping trip!
It was so funny, our Mayor was totally against LS opting in to the sales tax holiday, she said “We need every penny of sales tax we can get.” Um, lady, we need every penny we can save!
Thanks. I couldn’t seem to find that post last night.
Looks like it was a SiteMeter “upgrade” that went screwy. I haven’t downloaded Firefox, maybe I should.
The fix right now seems to be removing sitemeter. But people have to remove it from their sites.
Fortunately, it was just this week that I realized, after two weeks of reports with “no hits” that I forgot to reinstall Sitemeter when I did some page editing.
So what’s your plot?
A small town in Southside Virginia is planning for their "sesquiduplicentennial." The story begins on a Sunday in June, with the first planning meeting that Monday night for the celebration a year away. There are two churches in town. Right now one Methodist, one Baptist (that's where I have to check the history timeline). But for some reason, for over 20 years they've only had one Pastor. He preaches at the Methodist Church at the 9:00 service, then at the Baptist church at 11:00. The churches are cordial, but don't really get along. The story takes place over the year with various town events all pointing towards the celebration. At the celebration an errant firework burns one of the churches down on a Saturday night. And the final day is a combined Sunday morning service at one of the churches.
Needs a lot of working out of the detail. I'd like to use the word "sesquiduplicentennial" but I may have to make it a 200 year celebration to really be plausible.
