Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

7 pounds...wow. Hope he had it to lose!

Oh yeah, plenty to spare. We were teasing him yesterday saying, "Jack! 7 lbs, boy! Just shows you how full of **** you were!"

Very indelicate, I know. But hey. Making light of it keeps us sane.

Yes, I do live south, it's just that PB Co. is close enough to appear in the local weather forecasts if a weather "event" is happenning. I hadn't known that one of the kids was born in Palm Beach County.

Wonder if they will vote for Buchanan by mistake up there again? I am expecting it.

The Federal Training Network Presents

The Power Of One!
Featuring Erin Brockovich !LIVE!
17 Sep 03 - 1300-1430 ET

Program Description
Some inspire hope -- some inspire action -- Erin Brockovich inspires both!

Erin Brockovich is an expert on taking on amazing challenges, building the life you were meant to live, and becoming your own hero. She is a knock-out inspirational speaker and role model to everyone striving for meaning and value in life. The story of Erin's investigation of a giant utility company, her legal triumph (the largest settlement in U.S. History), and personal issues were dramatized in the hit movie, Erin Brockovich, for which Julia Roberts earned her first Academy Award for Best Actress. Erin has received numerous awards, and authored a book on her life: "Take It from Me, Life's a Struggle but You Can Win."

In 1990, Erin Brockovich was seriously injured in a traffic accident in Reno, Nevada. In 1991, she hired the law firm of Masry and Vititoe to handle her car accident case. Although she received $17,000 in settlement money, it did not begin to cover her debts. Unable to find work, she soon begged Masry and Vititoe to hire her as a $1,200 a month file clerk. It was not long after she started to work at the law firm that some medical records she found in a file on a pro bono real estate case piqued her curiosity. After getting permission from the firm's principal, Ed Masry, she began to look into the matter. Brockovich's solo investigation eventually established that the health of countless people who lived in and around Hinkley, California in the 1960s, 70s and 80s had been devastated by exposure to toxic Chromium 6. The Chromium 6 had leaked into the groundwater from the nearby Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Compressor Station. In 1996, as a result of the largest direct action lawsuit of its kind, spearheaded by Brockovich and Masry, the giant utility was ordered to make the largest legal settlement in U.S. history, paying out some $333 million in damages to more than 600 Hinkley residents. No longer a file clerk, Brockovich now serves as Director of Environmental Research at Masry and Vititoe, where she is involved in other major environmental lawsuits. Brockovich has since received a number of awards and honors for her work with the environment.
