The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

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!

Hmm...does it have bristles in it?

See the thing is with eggs, you can bubble 'em clean, you can gently wash them clean, you can vibrate them clean, but you can't scrub 'em clean. Scrubbing drives bacteria into the pores of the egg.

Some people use sandpaper to clean there eggs, but that seems like an unsound practice to me.

What you want to do is wash away dirt and contaminates without breaking the natural barrier that is on the egg, called the bloom.

Hmph...well, that won't do then. Shucks.

Sponges would have even been ok.

I'm not teasing... I really thought it might work.

I didn't know about the bristle problem, though. :-)

Because the thread had gone 32 minutes without a posting.

You "milt" it, in other words.

Perhaps I was too quick on the trigger.

I just checked Steve's grade online. He made an A in his Environmental Law class.

:-)

He's so smart!
