The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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 ran AdAware. But I also checked the new firewall I've got (The Shield).

He had a higher security level for obvious reasons. But I changed it to block "Luke Stormhands" instead of just "Luke."

Whatever, you see now that I can post it.

He who?

So, your new firewall was blocking your access to your own post, because it had the name "Luke" in it?

Freaky...

I ran AdAware first, so I can't be for certain. But one of those two actions fixed it.

Clare and I are going to a Homeschool Conference in July, and one of the Exhibitor presentations is going to be Home Scholar Books, and they sell a whole literature curriculum based on "Lord of the Rings". I can't wait to hear about it.

I'm sure he doesn't feel any better about it than you do. Just think though, this is the kind of stuff that looks good on a resume, so it just might result in a better, higher paying job. I know that doesn't make you feel any better right now, but it may help things get much better ASG!

Please do share your findings :-) I'm keeping a detailed journal for future use in teaching my children. It sounds strange but I like to plan for the future.

As luck would have it... I have some of the best hired guns available at reasonable prices. OK... maybe not reasonable... but they're really, really good... :-)

Some really interesting things have happened down here on this trip. There's some really cool stuff going on with wireless security that we're playing with. It's way cool. :-)

Howdy there everybody! [sip]

Uh... I had just a bit more drink than I should have with dinner. Fortunately I walked in the door and then the headache started. I really need to be more careful, though, especially when I'm driving.

Just a quick report on interesting (or weird) products I've come across recently.

First, something that might be of interest to some folks, if they can spring for the $150 cost. It's a battery-powered UV light water purifer, and runs on 4 AA batteries. Hit a button, and sterilize 16 or 32 ounces of water in 60 seconds.

Next is something for lazy dogs, and lazy dog owners. It's a tennis ball launcher, with wireless remote. Also $150.

Finally, a $20 toy. It's a universal infrared TV on-off switch. It broacasts the 200 most common on/off codes, and turns off most TVs within 17 seconds. It's intended purpose is to let you stealthily shut off annoying TVs at social or business gatherings.

And another email today, from CSM Gary E.:

--------

Rick,

Thanks for all the support I know my soldiers really appreciate all that you do for us. I see on a daily bases here my soldiers using there Hobbit hole knives and they contuine to praise them. The BK3 is a very hard knife to get a hold of it seems that the mostly they can be found in the hands of the rear echloen types and not with the Infantry. Please let me know what size T-shirt you wear we would like to send you one of our BN shirts for your service to the Bandits. Thanks again for all that you do for us.

V/R,

CSM Gary K. E

--------

The t-shirt will be raffled off at the next Hobbit Hole moot. I'll post a picture when it arrives.

Damn shame that the grunts know about the taxpayer-supplied Camillus knives, but can't get them out of the hands of the remfs.
