Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
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! |

They'd be lucky to have you as a supervisor, Rosie.
You're not a powertripper.

Isn't the Element a runner-up for "second ugliest car ever"? First place still being the Aztek, of course.
Or am I thinking of something else?

I'm gonna look at the new 4Runners. Having owned and loved a Toyota 4x4 pickup in the past... I gotta look at 'em. I'm concerned that they're getting too pricey. But I'm definitely going to look.

It's the runner up for the so-ugly-it's-really-kewl prize. Possibly first place.
Seriesly, I worked with someone who had one and got to ride in it a few times. Yeah, they're not pretty (we called it her school bus...the short bus, at that...), but they're VERY well thought out. Love the rubber matting (you can hose the inside out if you've had muddy stuff in it), and there are inputs on the dashboard for portable music players and such like. And they're comfortable.

LOL!!
I have a special name for the Honda Element and the Toyota Scion.
Toasters on Wheels.
I've heard that they're really fun, but I can't get past the way they look.

Must not look stupid with a canoe on top. I couldn't find one with a canoe on top, but I found this...

Yeah, they are getting expensive. And so are their trucks, albeit not as much.
I loved my Tacoma, but you'd definitely need a Tundra. One with 4-doors.

The scion is uglier than the element. And I never thought there would be something uglier than the element:
To: HairOfTheDog
It's interesting but the new H3 Hummer is pretty much in the range that I'm looking for. I figure I'll check it out.

I think the Scion fits into the Midget Hearse category with the PT Cruiser.
I admit, I still think they're kinda kewl...but way too low to the ground for practical use most places.

You *do* know it doesn't actually come with the bimbo roof ornament, right?

I rented a PT Cruiser, and as cute as I think they are, they sacrificed to much function for form. Visibility in them is awful, the mirrors and gauges are too small. But otherwise they're soooooo cute standing out in a sea of look-a-like sedans.
To: RosieCotton
Oh. Well... she'd probly make too much noise up there thrashing around strapped to the rack, anyway.

The H3 is in about the same price range as a 4runner.
To: Lil'freeper
I've only ridden in one. I was surprised at how roomy they are inside...but it did feel like a boat. Hard to see out.

Yeah....and the wind resistance would cut down on your gas milage.

A co-worker and I rented one when we went for training in Georgia and you are exactly right.
Visibility is awful, but it was a fun and roomy ride.

Feeling traumatized, knowing there are Toasters on Wheels wandering about?
