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!

Since we’re back on line, wanted to say that is one nice rifle, though it looks short enough to qualify as a carbine. That case looks like a good one for that rifle. Now I’d really like to have one of ‘special’ models but somehow, don’t think that’ll happen.

Met my shooting buddy at the range today, figured there wouldn’t be a long line to get in. Well, there wasn’t..range closed due to Mother’s Day. Hmm. what about the sons/daughters that wanted to take Mom to the range/ OB

I’d never heard of her, but what a tragic accident!

She wrote over 2500 gospel songs. You've probably heard from her.

Very cool! A successful trail ride, I say, despite the nuisance afterwards...

I have hummingbirds again. Put the feeder out yesterday and tried to steel myself for a long wait before they found it, but I’ve already seen a couple. It’s kinda funny, ‘cause it’s near one of the finch feeders, and it *really* freaks the finches out when one of the hummers comes in. They all scatter in a panic. Heheh...bonus feature...

Or like a helicopter...lot of noise and wind going on. Heh...and I’m putting the poor finches right in the landing field. No wonder it kind of makes ‘em jumpy...

“tomorrow” has brought another Monday. Why can’t it be exchanged for another Sunday or even a Friday? I really don’t understand why no one thought of doing that.

Morning.

I have a rather awful final in the class I’m taking that’s being run by incompetent weasels. Got to finish it tomorrow night at the latest. Ugh. But at least I’ll be done.

Can I just pretend I went to work and call it good?

We’er good, but poor Picher! Sounds like they got wiped off the face of the earth.

It’s up there by Miami, (pro Miamuh)...in the NE corner of OK. Miami is where I went to do the disaster relief with the flood victims a while back.

I doubt I’ll get to help this week, too many dr appts.

(Picher is a super-fund site...was in the process of being bought out and abandoned because of “chat piles”...big piles of rubbish left over from mining. Piles as big as mountains...full of lead. So thankfully a lot of the homes that were hit were abandoned. Still a lot of folks were holding out for a better deal or because they didn’t think the chat piles were any problem.)

Competent weasels might, after the same complaint is raised five times over three months, do something about it. Namely that when the entire class is online and all the students are professionals with actual jobs, giving a weekend to do an assignment or test is nice. Not “well it’s Tuesday and this is due Friday” or “It’s Sunday afternoon we want this Wednesday noon”.

Well...then...at least it’s almost over, huh?

Competent weasels strikes me as very Dilbert. Or Catbert, maybe. I could see him running a Competent Weasels temp agency or something.

I'd read that there were about 300 folks left in town. Most had left for better pastures already.

Good luck with the Drs. appts! Hope they can give you some answers!
