The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

I know we had lots of ash in Portland, too...but not three feet.

But bein' little...I just thought it was neat looking. I was only three and a half, so my memory is pretty limited. ;-)

This will likely ruin this year's cuttings of Eastern Washington hay from where ever it lands. Will be too dusty to feed. They may get later cuttings if they plow it under and re-seed. Other crops are probably not planted yet and will be better.

I was a senior in high school, on a band trip to Victoria, B.C. for a parade when it went off in 80. We got back to the bus after the parade and the driver was listening to CBC news.

CBC said that lava was pouring out and covering most of western washington, and pouring into puget sound, and that "volcanic bombs the size of volkswagens are falling on Seattle". I remember those words like they were yesterday.

None of which was, or course, true. But it had us a little shaken up nonetheless.

Gee, ya think? You'd think they'd get their facts at least SORT of lined up before spouting off like that....

What, were they accessing a different reality, or just pulling it straight out of their collective fundaments?

Looks like the plume is going mostly straight NE. If that holds, there's alot less wheat that direction, than say, due east.

In '80, didn't it do some small eruptions (or whatever the correct term is) like this before the big one?

I wonder if it's just warming up?

That was on KOMO, but just before they went to ABC at 6.

Maybe, except most of the mountain's mass is already gone. If you look in it, the mountain is hollow. We won't get the same level of mudflow as before.

You'd think they could get it right, since they're not really even that far away. But it is right up there with every other observation I've ever made of news media "accuracy". Every *single* time I've ever had inside or onsite information of something that was reported in the news there has been at least one *material* error or omission that would cast the event in a materially different light. For example: A particular rescue of a big tugboat off the coast of Oregon... was reported in the local paper. They got the name of the boat wrong, the names of the crew wrong, the dates wrong, and the basic nature of their steerage problem wrong. Lucky they had a picture of the boat, or we wouldn't have thought it was the same story.

Hey y'all...cool mountain'n'stuff (hope it doesn't go unexpectedly badly).

Time for Pix-o-the-Day (maybe I should start a photoblog):

Remember the one in Lansing? Here's one in Battle Creek.

Yesterday, it looked as though Winter is dying.

Today, not so much.

Laters, y'all.

Apparently you missed a volcanic eruption. So did I. Sheesh, go to choir and what happens?

Hullo all. Evening. I am, hallelujah, done with midterms. Choir was great fun, it's nice to sing with a bunch of people who can more or less sight read, and we're doing a lot of great hymns for Good Friday. Not started on much Easter stuff yet, but who can ask for more than "O Sacred Head", "Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted" or "How Deep the Father's Love"?
