The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Wrong Moore... I refer to the law which states that approximately every 18 months, computing speed will double and prices will halve.

I am afraid that I have been joking for the last couple of posts! For some reason I have been in a good mood since last week!

Oh, I thought you might be joking but I couldn't tell...

I am in a better mood today than I have been since last Friday, since my computer will rise from its ashes tomorrow. Tonight I'm going out to dinner with some other locals who are doing the NaNoWriMo writing project. They'll all be so far ahead of me since I haven't written in days...

If I only was around more, folks wouldn't forget my foibles! :(

Too many words, but is that the idea? Work with me a little?

Those are some good ideas, if they can be boiled down a bit. Another concept is "troop support for the long haul". Troops have a good idea of what they need for comfort, and families know what to send for goodies from home. But there are certain "durable goods" and tools that aren't even on the radar screen, but could be highly valuable out in the field.

And I don't have any contacts in the Freeper Foxhole, but maybe you do. We can take this to e/freepmail if we need to discuss more details.

Yes, you should be around more. At least a couple times a week. Otherwise we will forget and you'll show up someday and we'll say "Who are you? Troll!"

I remember when I was a Balrog! How have the mighty fallen!

I've definitely gone off the no FR wagon! I was just reading a thread that was put on Fox News while I was reading it! (The most recent anti Specter thread)

Whoo-hoo!

And why were you on that bandwagon in the first place?

I got my furniture and cat moved in now. She wants to investigate the back yard in the dark...tomorrow, kitty.

Time to get something to eat.

Good news! My NaNo count is at 8500 not 3000, since my file is recovered. I can still do this.
