The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

Wow. I don't know what, but what a heartbreak, you're right. Prayers for her.

pull the trigger yerself...

It'll probably come to that. There's two senior people in his office that simply have it in for the guy. Now I suspect that they're manufacturing "issues" just to make sure his name is mentioned regularly and is always the subject of finger pointing. That way, when he eventually *does* break something, he's gone.

I thought about mentioning to those two guys that they are exposing the company to a "hostile workplace" suit... but then I thought... no... let them find that out... later... :-)

Evening G'nad - I'll have to dig a bit deeper (sigh) but my recollection was 4.0 gr of bullseye. The webley is the WG webley-green '96 model. Been faced off for AR or half moons. (before I got it).

Thought they might. :-)

I think you are probably right; I was able to find a Latin translation site on the web that translated "vobiscum" as a form of "you".

May the eddicated correct me, but I think the breakdown is

vobis= "All y'all"

and

cum= "with"

like cum laude means "with praise".

"Across the Street" vs. "In the House"...hmm...

I'll take "Frying Pan or Fire" for $1000, Alex!

Well, hello there! What a welcome! Although he does look a bit "elfy", if'n you catch my drift. *grin*

Becky is fine. Just a touch of asthma mixed in with a slight upper respiratory infection. Got some antibiotics and a Albuterol puffer-thingy. She's sleeping soundly behind me. Not a cough in sight.

Thank God!

Just a quick shot of the current Hobbit Hole "product line". More models will be added shortly. Note: the blade on the Ka-Bar is actually very shiny, but as with any shiny object, when you use a flash, it either reflects everything back to the camera, or everything away from it. The blade is not really black, but a very shiny steel.
