The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

You don't keep the Betas in the same tank do you?

They've each got half the tank with a clear divider between them.

James Doohan was a really nice guy. I met him a couple times at StarTrek conventions back in the early '90s. Somewhere mom has a picture of us with him. He was just a fun and friendly guy. Exactly like you might expect Scotty to be.

They're doing just fine! Thanks for askin'.

One died about a month ago from a bad molt. It happens.

My biggest challenge is finding change-out shells for my big fellas. They need snail shells with at least a 2" opening.

The other adventure is my never-ending quest to find a bigger tank so I can have all 11 of them in the same crabitat. It's a pain to care for 2 tanks.

I don't want to pay full price for a 35 gallon or larger, so I'm always checking the classifieds and freecycle.org to see if someone wants to get rid of one cheap or free.
