The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

And many honorable mentions to Jen for also not killing the thread.

I just priced out furniture for our office. They want to cram 2 more people into our cubicle land. So we have to rearrange and buy some more pieces.

The companies we are *obligated* to buy from rob the taxpayer blind. So you want to buy a desk? Ok, it's $300. File drawers will add on $300, and the little pencil drawer is another $99 oh and if you want cabinets on top (a hutch) add on another $600! Then you gotta buy a blasted chair.

That's ridiculous.

Well, we decided not having some of the Windows boxes was bad. So we brought down the Windows network so none of them worked. Hah hah hah. This is nervous laughter. It's fixed now, mostly, but for a minute I thought we might have lost our domain controller.

Can I go home now?

Would those be toasters with ninja moves, or devices which toast ninja?

Hello!

They called us into work yesterday, but I just couldn't make it. I'm here today and completely swamped, of course.

Thank you all so much for your prayers!

I got some video and as soon as power and DSL is restored to my house, I'll try to see if I can figure out that mpeg program. :-D

The neighborhood is a complete mess. No traffic lights so there are lots of car accidents. A curfew of 8pm has been implemented. The water was shut off all day at my house, but came back last night (Thank God!). No phone, no electric - prolly until the weekend, at least.

That's the short version.

Oh! Drove to the hospital and had Alyson's cast removed this morning, as well - so that is one ray of light in this mess.

Wish I could chit-chat longer, but I need to get as much work done as possible in order to be out in time to get home before curfew. :-/

You're back! We're so glad you came through fine, Ruthy.

Start on the "move to Colorado" plan NOW!
