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!

Latest tracking has it continuing to turn. If they're right it probably won't even have an effect on the U.S. coast.

Here you go, check out this page, and most especially this subpage. According to the equation on that second page, terminal speed is equal to the square root of an equation I can't easily reproduce with plain ASCII. :)

Oh! F can equal (mv*2)/r ! W00t!

preliminary investigation is leanin' toward an obstruction of the barrel... seems the young LT set his magazines down in dirt and pea gravel... he's okay, but the rifle is totaled...

At first, I thought you were saying an obstruction at the muzzle. But it was the ammo? The only thing I can think of is the round had enough crud on it to cause the bullet to wedge in the barrel half-way up, and then a second round bursts the barrel.

I'd be interested to hear the actual cause.
