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,
We’ll 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!

hehehe... Bobby's out front now. I can go for that. :-)

Okay, okay, just because of a short pit... but, I'll take that for now. Hope it works for him.

*Sigh* It was depressing in a way....DE, Davey Allison, and Alan Kulwicki were in it.

I was watching another video last night. A Cubs game from 1992 was at the end of it.....they got their butts kicked 8 to 1 but at least the infield was cute.

Oh man. That one is one you must keep! I would like to see it. Someday when I come up there to moot we may have to watch that. And celebrate that they *were* there!

Know what I wish I had? The 1998 Daytona. I was driving through Daytona that day on my way to visit Tom, Jill and Abby. Abby had just been born. I had to at least drive around the track so I could hear it! Tom had promised to tape the race for me so when I got to their house in Palm Beach I could watch it. I didn't listen to the race on radio so I wouldn't know who won, but I ended up hearing on my HAM radio about an hour before I got to destination. However, I still delighted in watching that video and seeing Dale win!!! Unfortunately, they kept the tape and none of 'em know what happened to it. *sigh* Jill may have taped over it I guess. But, with I still had it!

I don't have the whole race...I taped over the first part. But I do have the Pepsi 500 from 1992....King Richard's last race at Daytona. His engine caught on fire: "That wasn't the 'blaze of glory' I had in mind."

And another thing....I hate the way they cut the races down to 400 instead of 500. If ya can't sit through a 500 mile race, yer not a race fan.

Yep.

...and on Labor Day weekend they run the Coca Cola 600...same day as the Indy 500. There have been some drivers that have run the Indy 500 and then flown to Charlotte to run the 600.

No but then I haven't been shopping for T-shirts lately. I do have a DE computer mouse and mousepad and a model of #3 that my Dad made for me.

I have trouble rootin' for rookies. Obviously they have some experience or they wouldn't be there. I just prefer veterans to be out front. LOL

Oh, my. Wouldn't that get a little boring, driving around in a circle for hours? Or does the speed keep things interesting?

I've got one of those models! Dennis built it for me. He was an Earnhardt fan too. Things were a little more interesting watching races with Myranda's dad. He was a Darrell Waltrip fan and hated DE. We always had battles on race days. Was fun too.

Guess the speed would keep it interesting from the driver's point of view. I'm usually multitasking....barbecue doncha know!

Ok, I can see that. Although I'm not the sort of person who likes to have the tv on as company. Only race I watch is the Kentucky Derby, though, but that's over so fast I have no time to get bored.

'Sides, horses are pretty.
