The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Still round the corner there may wait...
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! |

The idea of not being able to get my window down so I can swim out of my car is just horrifying to me! LOL
Heh! My phobia. Driving over bridges and falling into water or accidently driving off a road into a flooded ditch or something. I have learned that phobias are irrational fears and that the person with the phobia knows it's irrational but has it nonetheless.
Good morning everyone!

One thing I like about my van is that the windows still roll up and down after the car is turned off and the key pulled out, until a door is opened. So...I can still roll windows up or down if I forget when we first stop.

Oh, that's neat!
This type thing happens pretty frequently here in Tulsa...
We've got several low spots that this happens to. As a matter of fact, coming home from the fair we were in a torrential downpour and the roads flooded. Celeste was driving, and we had to turn around more than once because we wouldn't chance it. I was absolutely beside myself but with a carload of kids, I couldn't show it.

The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. ;-)
Last night was the first night I haven't had an attack of some measure since I was sleeping off the dentist drugs. Woke up a lot, but it wasn't because I couldn't breathe.
Running late here and I see there is work to do...I'll catch up in a few...
To: Corin Stormhands
Well, that's a bit of good news!
See ya later.

I am actually with the white-knuckler on electric windows.... They make ~me~ nervous for flood as well.
I just wish they had a manual crank just in case. Hard to find cars without electric windows nowadays.

Oh defrosting.... one thing that works real well and is not expensive is a spray bottle full of rubbing alcohol. Will melt ice when you don't want to scrape and don't have time to warm it off.

Dad got me a little pointed hammer that is made to break out windows... if you have wrecked and landed in water, chances are, the door might be too bent to roll the window down anyhow. I wonder about my chance of finding the hammer when I need it, but safety hammers do exist.

We'll pray for Madelynn and her parents. Corin and the Mrs. have been down that road.
To: HairOfTheDog
That sounds like a very good idea!
I still don't have a first aid kit and safety supplies for my van. I really should get some things before winter...NOT a good thing to get stuck somewhere with absolutely nothing when it's twenty or thirty below.
