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! |

Another couple knife requests...
Good news spreads fast. I saw the Gerber LMF 2 that you sent one our troops here in Boise Id. We are currently on orders to deploy to Afghanistan. I know that you are probably getting pretty popular. As an E-7 in the quality control section of 1-183 Aviation, I will be going on downed aircraft recovery mission inside of Afghanistan. The Gerber LMF 2 would be an excellent tool to have in that kind of environment. If you have any left or expect to get more or something as tough and functional, I would defiantly be able to test its durability. I would certainly write a letter about how it worked for me when we return on 07. If you don't have anything left, that would be OK. I believe you are doing a great service by providing deploying troops with valuable tools where they are needed. Thank you for your support for our guys here in Boise and those troops deployed overseas.
I would very much like to be a recipient of one of your knives, as I am going to flight school for our AH-64a Apache helicopter this year the air crew knife would be great thank you very much for your support.

And we also got a product test report from the field, from SGT Les A.:

Rick,
Here is a pic of me using your gift while searching a house in Baghdad. I am working on getting the guys in 1st Platoon together so we can take a pic of all of us with our Hobbit Hole blades.
Now that I think about it, I'd rather not stick my hand in strange places, if I could use a piece of steel instead.

*cough* *hack* *wheeze*
Mrs. came home from California with a cold. Guess who's hackin' his head off this mornin'....sigh...I finally forced myself up to go to the gym and couldn't stop coughin' long enough. So I'm drinkin' coffee and avoiding getting ready to go to theoffice.
Ruthy and Sam ~ looks like Franklin's just gonna head out to sea.

This month's issue of
Southern Living has articles on 1) Choosing the right color of white paint and 2) How to eat Kudzu.
I thought you'd want to make sure you had a copy.

That's a relief...I see that Miami is well out of this morning's cone of death projections. The way we're going, we'll get at least up to Q this season. Hope I'm wrong about that one.

Gert?
Boy.... they're really scraping the bottom of the name barrel ;~D

The worst name yet was "Georges" (pronounced "jee-oar-sh) from a few years back.
Even the weatherguys had trouble keeping a straight face.

Can they never repeat names, or is there just a reasonable amount of time that needs to pass?

If you Google "Hurricane Names" you can get a list of the names rotation.
