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!

Do you know it's practically impossible to make piecrust here? Apparently at this altitude that's really the only thing you notice that doesn't work right.

But I buy pie crusts the one time a year I make pie, anyway.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, I need to be heading to town anyway... I've got to hit my machine between 12:30 and 1:30. Why don't we meet at 12:15? BK? JitBox? Arbys?

[ecurbh]

What if you swing by and pick me up whenever you want? Might be easier than trying to coordinate meeting up somewhere.

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - will do - I better get a move on. I'll post here on my way out... then you can be looking for me.

Is now the time to mention that here in MO we refer to middle lanes as "suicide lanes"?

No sweat, Rosie. As Hair said, just take your time and turn when it's clear.

Wouldn't that be something? All these months of waiting and fretting over...just like that?
