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! |

From what I understand, it's for people from 18 to 48, or at least mid-thirties...so would be a good way to meet like-minded young people, as well as a way I could help the community in a small way. I'm not the go-getter Myranda is...but it'd still be nice to support conservative politics in SOME way.

I read
Les Miserables while I was in tech school in the Air Force. One of the few times I've been devious...
We were required to study from eight to nine in our rooms, with the doors open. They would check on us during that time to be sure we were reading and not goofing off.
Now...there was NO way I needed to study an hour a day. An hour a week woulda been more than enough, since most of it was just basic computer facts that I more or less knew. So I held Les Mis inside my tech booklet and sat with the cover of the booklet facing the door.
It was a very good book...but as I've already confessed, I'm not as fond of history as I should be. I skimmed pretty quickly through the more historical chapters to get back to the "good parts". I'm a baaaaaad hobbit...

it's for people from 18 to 48Heh! Gosh - even *I* fit in that category!!!
I gotta tell ya, Myranda didn't use to be such a go-getter. She was the most quiet bashful little kid. Then she got to 14 and decided it wouldn't kill her to talk to folks and I think she's still tryin' to make up for all those years of not talkin'!

I'm very ocntent to follow. Maybe too content. But I don't like being in charge.
Which is one of the reasons the family band gets me so grumpy...

Yeah. I kinda like the following part too. But, I need a good decisive leader. Can't stand it when the person in charge is not in charge!

They made a movie based on that book, with Rutger Hauer as the police detective.

Japan was also close to getting one, according to this book I got recently but haven't had a chance to finish yet (Philip Henshall, "The Nuclear Axis: Germany, Japan and the Atom Bomb Race, 1939-1945"). Years ago, I picked up a book in the remainder bin that claimed that Japan built and tested a fission "device" before we did. Japanese nuclear scientists had a lot more on the ball than the Germans did. They had uranium mines in northern Korea, and built separation plants, according to the author. (The book, BTW, is buried somewhere in my older stack of books in the basement).
According to the book, the set off a multi-kiloton test device in the hills of northern Korea. They had no plans to "weaponize" it, but planned on putting one in a freighter in Tokyo bay to take out the American invasion fleet.
They realized that even that wouldn't save them, so much of the data was destroyed, as they tried to do with their biological warfare program. But one of their top scientists lived well into his 80s, and started telling his story in the 1970s.
The author quoted a DoD news release from MacArthur's early push into North Korea, where they announced the capture by the US Army of a Japanese uranium enrichment plant. The next day, it became a "Russian" facility.
I rated the book, at the time, of a "hmmmm....". A bit more believable than UFO stories, but possibly just an extapolation of what little is available for us to know.
