The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

Did your son find a place to live? I'm so glad I have my apartment already, it would worry me to just be heading off into the wild blue yonder without a place settled on.

They served food?

Most will still serve food, especially on the longer and international flights. You musta been traveling on Southwest Airlines. It's like a cattle call...

I can't wait to hear what he thinks of the room!

Me too. At one point the wife said last night "I hope he likes it."

I just stared at her...

I flew US-Air twice this year, and ATA once. We don't have Southwest out of Pittsburgh, I don't think.

I believe USAir had food for purchase, but it was expensive and nasty-looking. ATA is about one step up from Southwest - you at least have assigned seats. But they play country music while you're on the tarmac. When we were delayed for two hours out of Chicago, I nearly went insane.

Yeah. We've been talking about this for a while. He wanted the walls above and below the chair rail to be jet black. The gray was our compromise. (the light and rug are both from IKEA).

And yes, he got home (well to Richmond anyway) about an hour and a half ago.

Lines of thunderstorms coming through, with partial sun in between.

Sounds like here! When I was flying north last night, I looked out the windows to the left of the plane and saw some HUGH black clouds out to the West with lightning flashing inside them. It was VEY cool to look at; I'm sure glad we were able to avoid them!

He found a nice looking (at least in the pictures) one bedroom apartment a couple of miles from school He got it for $399 a month, gas heat included! He's thrilled that he was able to get the 1BR instead of having to get a studio type!

I thought the disc ecurbh had at Entmoot were video CDs of some sort.

Correct, they were Video CDs (VCDs) that were burned from MPG files. Many DVD players, but not all, can play VCDs.

Is there any easy way to convert AVI files to MPEGs?

Oh, nice! Wish mine was that cheap, but I'm happy with it. Of course I have to worry a little more than hopefully your son does about security and things - I could have got a place cheaper but it made me feel unsafe in the daytime, I wouldn't have liked it after dark at all.

There seem to be a number of freeware programs that do this. Here's one - http://www.jhepple.com/avi_to_mpeg_converter.htm . I've never used anything of the sort so I can't say how it would work.

There's a lot of software out there that will convert them. I haven't really tried any, because the files I burn are in MPG anyway. Try checking Download.com to see if there is a freeware or cheap shareware conversion program.

Yeah, well, he was willing to do this, sight unseen. My sister suggested I call the Austin PD to check on the area.
