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!

We're going to work at the Coburn campaign in town. Steve and I will take turns making "get out the vote" calls and putting together yard signs with the jedis. So I won't be here for the debates.

I'm going to a debate party... actually, I'm just mooching off my conservative friend with tv, and we're studying for midterms together.

And, before anyone gets excited, she's female.

Well, I hope FR works better for tonight's debate than the last one.
I plan to "watch" it on FR, since I can barely stomach watching either Kerry of Clinton on television.

Howdy there ebbellybody... anybody home?? [echo...]

I'm at the airport... at SFO... flyin' back home after my "wonderful" week at da HQ. [sip] [sip]

Wierd thing here... I've been in and out of SFO hundreds of times, and I've never seen any military air traffic before. well... just a little while ago when I got to the terminal-- look out on the tarmac and there goes a Navy F-18 taxiing down the length of the airport just as purty as ya please. He turned off into an area across from the terminals that looks like it services cargo planes, and also has a place for private jets. Haven't seen him since.

I wonder what was up with that...

Ain't blowed up yet. With any luck I'll get a nice aerial view in a few hours...

To: Ramius

Correction... the F-18 pulled into the area that looks like a United aircraft servicing hangar, not cargo.

There's a Naval Air Station on the other side of the bay... I don't get it. Maybe he had some sort of problem and couldn't make to the NAS and made an emergency landing here?

Whoa!!! The Snowbirds just took off here... the Canadian AF demonstration team... ! Cool... Maybe that answers the question about the F-18... maybe he was some sort of escort for the Snowbirds...

Now there's a USCG C-130 and a CG helo pulling into the same place...

Wierd day at the airport...

Howdy there, Mr. Ramius. Sounds like some cool sights there!

Been raining almost all day here... Hair's been off in Mordor today (I would have gone with her...), and I've been working on the barn, getting Bay's stall disassembled, and stuff ready to move around for the remodel.

Sounds like a good way to spend a day.

I'm logging off here in a couple minutes... gotta go find my airplane.

If you hear from any of them, let me know!

Sure will. Meanwhile, I received a forwarded email from an Army captain in Bagdhad. Looks like we'll be adding military intelligence to our fan base of grunts, truck drivers, chopper pilots, and sky pilots.

We have to thank g'nad for getting us a good assortment of Marines, but we have only a few swabbies and zoomies. And no coasties, aside from Ramius.

After 18 years together...it's gratifying that I can still get him to shoot coffee out his nose.

Ah, long lasting love!

You're a stitch, and you always brighten my day!

Same here, Sam. Watching Lurch spew his lies makes me ill! I'm also nervous because I want Bush to do REALLY well!!

Wierd day at the airport...

Is there an airshow coming up tomorrow in the area? Sounds like pilots are arriving today so they can be on hand first thing in the morning.
