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!

yah... up to now I've been a Dell sort of guy. But part of the reason I'm taking this one is to evaluate it as a possible new standard "ultralight" laptop for the company. Right now our standards are the IBM X40 and the Dell X300.

Has anyone here been to the world's fair site in Queens, NY?

I love that movie. Big fun.

Haven't been to Queens. But we've got something similar in Seattle... and Capitol Hill is chock full of all sorts of aliens.

Ooooh, I'd pay good money to see that, and even more money to have a chance to do it myself. Details, please...

FLW regs states that convoys can have no more than 6 vehicles, with the exception of the motor transport school... the regs also state that convoys must file a route overlay in advance, and radio Range Control to begin an end a convoy, and to occupy positions in the training area...

the MPs were running a convoy of 19 vehicles, had filed no route overlay, had not contacted Range Control... we followed them to their destination, and they hadn't called RC to open the area... this wasn't the first time this unit has pulled this kinda crap...

the SFC was surly, and tried to play dumb... when I asked him if he was in charge, he said "kinda-sorta"... I went off... beratin' him for his lack of integrity, and cajones...in front of his privates... I was havin' a DI moment, just let it go... he was slack jawed... as I walked away to cool off, my partner said I was a Marine... the SFC said "remind me never to f@#$ing piss him off again...
