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!

Hi all!

Had a good day today. Got some pictures of Mt Hood and Mt Jefferson, found some purty glassy rocks in the beanfields of Madras, finished all our work so tomorrow we can find something cool to go between Madras and Hood River.

Just got back from dinner at the Black Bear Diner.

Cool! You mean you finished all your work at that place? You have more work in Hood River till Sat, right?

Driving up the gorge will be a pretty drive. How are you getting around now? You don't have a rental car yet, right?

We have one rental car. They're going to get me to the rental car place on Saturday so I can get one of my own to drive up to your place.

Things went really smoothly today and the wind cooperated. We wanted to get all our pre-application samples sampled and processed. Got an early start and had most of them done by lunch. So some of us finished the sample processing while our field guy sprayed the test plot...the wind co-operated and we got that done and the right-after-application samples done.

That reminds me, can you send me directions to the Beach House again? I'm not sure I can find them, and I doubt seriesly I could find the place again without it.

We're mooting on Sunday, right?

An excellent choice, IMHO.

No worries about driving home afterwards.

I do have church, which gets out around 1 pm. I prolly wouldn't get there til 2ish, but you'all could certainly start without me and I'll get there as soon as I can. Will that work?

They're always plotting against you or falling for the Hero.

Bah!! No kid if mine will be so poorly raised as to thwart my plans for Global Domination. It is all about some judicious spanking. And if that fails, the sharks with the frikn lasers on their heads.

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


I am sure the one more traveled by was probably mined.

The easiest way to Glodal Domination is to off your Dictator father.

Then I will just instill a health sense on laziness in them and then convince them that Domination is a lot of work.

Oh, good plan. Plus instead of locking them in their room, you can put them in a tower.
