The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...
Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
But not yet weary are our feet...
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, Well wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I didn't mention them because I don't really think of Rush as "metal", but I did kinda listen to them along with the metal I listened to.Moving Pictures is a pretty good album. Far from their best. Though I do like "La Villa Strangiato" -- I think it's on there. I'd consider them as "metal" as Zeppelin --hard rock anyway. Xanadu is IMHO their best song. You know it?

*EXCELLENT* job! I love scrappy quilts- it has a 30's feeling without going overboard on 30's fabric. Good range of colors and values, too. Very classic!

*DOUGHBOY UPDATE* (
Doughboy Theme Song)
Well, he has purchased Quick-crete and is pouring it in the holes around the bases of his footers and dumping some down the holes in the cinderblocks themselves.
Quick-crete is great stuff. Holds real good. Will be lots of fun to dig up and try to fix when the frost heave gets to work on it. Heh heh heh.
Shared the weekend adventure with the engineer-types at work- even drew a diagram on my whiteboard. They were roaring with laughter. Even with mortar/Quick-crete, those footers need to be set below the frostline and the blocks require some additional reinforcement.
*DEVELOPING*

*DOUGHBOY UPDATE*Can you get pictures? Or maybe video? You can start a whole web site of the rise-and-fall of Doughboy's shed. Be sure to take plenty of pictures when the inspectors show up.
Planning for that might be easier if you call the inspectors. Wait until Doughboy is almost done, so more of his efforts are wasted.

I didn't kilt it after all. (((HUGS)))
Heh heh- yes we're taking pictures, but I've been too beat to upload them. And yes, the timing of the call to county will be the most opportune.

Whoa! Where in Yellowstone was that taken? I'm not sure. It's the Geology picture of the week.
Did you see the Flat Frodo pics we took in Yellowstone?
Oh yes, very cool shots you had.

Actually, since you mention websites. I was inspired at the commissary today to devote a website to people who can't park their minivans properly.
And the commissary was an interesting experience this evening. Most shockingly, they dusted the shelves and actually stocked them. They've painted, hung new aisle signs, and created theme vignettes. One was a seaside cliff- complete with a waterfall, slate rocks, a giant lighthouse, and stacks of tuna cans. I freaked when I got to the produce section and there were ICE SCULPTURES. There was an ice FISH sculpture in the middle of the lettuce!
I finally found an employee and she explained they were competing to be the "Best Commissary in the World" and the committee was touring "right now!!!" (she was very excited). I was sooo hoping I'd get interviewed by them so I could tell them about the routinely moldy cheese, almost ripe meat, and produce that doesn't last the night. I have literally bought strawberries that were mouldy by morning. Oh the tales I could tell.
But they did have the place looking nice. Maybe it'll last a while.

hmm, sheikh ahmad yassin kinda does look like Saruman. Well at least in the before pics. The after pics are somewhat gruesome. I had all the "gruesome" I could handle on September 11. I went to that site and laughed my ass off. I wish someone would post that animated gif of that fat Palestinian woman doing the yodel-thing on 9-11 on that site.
It is gratifying to see justice done, even if it comes off a launch rail of a AH-64. I just hope he had at least a split second of awareness of what was about to happen before he received his award of martyrdom. Just a millisecond of despair at his ultimate "aw, sh1t!!!" moment.

It also has a "flat free" tire. It is foam-filled instead of air filled. Nice.
