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!

The full route is here:

I hope to be going through Tenino around 9-10 am. My ride times are always guesses depending on how well I'm doing and whether I can actually get myself out the door at 3 am sharp!

I think that would probably be the closest stop to you. I am planning to stop at the "Country Cup Espresso" there in Tenino, if it's not too crowded.

FYI... I am in the process of upgrading my hosting account, which will involve moving to a new server, so there may be a short outage when that occurs. I will still be with the same hosting company, so the impact should be minimal... hopefully just long enough to set up the new account and restore the backup.

Hmmm, that's really...encouraging....really... ;)

Actually, I think pukin' is a sign of poor planning and preparation! :o Never have had that problem, don't ever intend to! Your mantra sounds like a good one, will prolly be using it A LOT around the 170 mile point...

Hehe, thanks for the good wishes! :)

We'll try to get out and find the "Country Cup Espresso" in Tenino tomorrow morning around 9-10.... hopefully we'll catch you! If you're early, don't wait on us... :~D

Ooh, that would be so fun! Freepmail me your cell number again just in case, okay?

I will really be ready for friends to talk to by then!

FRMail in a minute. If you'll be able to call when you are an hour or so out, that would guarantee good timing!

If you want, we could maybe give ya a ride a hundred or so miles south ;~D

I called human resources and asked if letters had been sent out yet. Got put through to someone's voice mail. Hopefully they call back.

I'd like to at least know how much more time I gotta wait. And if I'm out of the picture, I'll be turning in those retail job apps this weekend. :-( But maybe it'll be good for me. I never did the typical high school / college kid jobs. Payback time. *sigh*

Hehe, don't tempt me with that ride offer!!

I probably won't have time to call, but if I find that I'm either substantially early or late I will try to call.

Or if I really, really need a break at 70 miles...

Fair enough! We'll be there between 9-10.

It is, but strangely enough the first 100 go by pretty quickly. Miles 110-150 are the prettiest, so it's really not too bad until you get into Oregon. Then, if it's like last year, it'll just be a slog to get to the end. I'm hoping that my planned Starbucks stop at 150 miles will make the last 50 a lot more pleasant this time around.

Maybe if you don't hear, you should at least drop those apps off. They'll take time to process, too, after all...

Heh, I just noticed the MESS on the counter by the stove...

Well, making jam is a tad messy.
