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!

Tossed mouse!

Dressed with a light oil-balsamic vinagrette.

Light, warm and a little spicy. Served in the fur.

From last night....

Now that I think about it, it was the Medicis that started with the pawnshop, not the Borgias.

My mistake.

One family of Italian politicians is much like another.

Yawn. Good morning! I've got to start getting up a bit early, with school starting soon.

Looks like you might have some isolated t-storms over the weekend, but otherwise the temps look like beach weather! The clouds will keep that direct sun off of you!

I took a pic of a VW parked near my friend's house in Tokyo. When I get the pics uploaded to York, I'll link them and you can see it. It was a powder blue, and it looked like it was in nice condition. It never moved the whole time we were there, so I don't know if the folks just didn't use it that much, or were out of town, or what. Some folks will keep a car, just to have one for going out of town, etc, but will use the Metro for the most part day to day.

You know, other countries still make the old classic look Beetle. It's actually still in production, but the US won't allow it because of safety and emissions reasons. It's why you can still get replacement parts fairly cheaply! As long as your Beetle chassis number shows the car to be 1979 or before, you can register and drive it.

But in other countries there are brand new classic-look Beetles. Mexico, for one. You can go and buy a brand new Beetle in Mexico. Brazil too, I think. I wonder if Japan allows the new ones and that is what you were seeing?

Good morning!

Soo... looks like your web server finally got un-munged. That's nice.

Hey... something's happened to my tagline... what the?

Yah, everything's back to normal now. 'Twas just a pothole in the information superhighway.

Heh. Yah, and this is the point when, if this had happened to say... our company site... I get an obnoxious and profanity-embroidered message from The Balrog demanding to see my "plan" for keeping this from ever happening again.

Yup. I'll get right on that. Hehehe...

Yeah, and while you're at it, could you stop the tide too?

Heh! I like it!

Well, slowly but surely the ladies that caused the split in my organization are leaving the BA CHEF egroup. I guess they've figured out there won't be any angry emails posted for them to use as fodder or any emails filled with despair for them to gloat over. And I won't allow anything that's pro "their group" to be posted...so what's the point of them staying.

And make the sun stay up a bit later this evening? I have a business associate I want to show around town, and his flight doesn't get in until after six. It'd be more convenient if the sun'd stay up until ten or so.
