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!

Looks like the returns are not in freedom's favor.

The Soviet of Washington marches on.

I'm thinkin' that I'll check in tomorrow morning and then sign off thru the weekend.

Take a little vaca-, if you must; don't forget that The HH is to other parts of FR the way the elbow is to the backside.

That is, we're more flexible, and if we get too close to that other*, everybody starts feeling a bit uncomfortable. Try it for yourself.

*Obscure Mark Twain reference :)

Y'all know me. I can't stay away long.

Yeah - it's pretty disappointing, but I'm not sure what I expected. I guess I thought the gas tax repeal would pass, just because the traffic projects they have planned are the wrong projects. As for the smoking ban... I guess we'll save money on going out for cocoas. Ticks me off that the indians got involved in helping to pass it, since it doesn't apply to them. So I can't even go there. If they'd have stayed on the sidelines and kept quiet, they'd still have me for a customer.

Well we are, but in a good way.

I wasn't even drunk last night and that's still too much this morning. Surely, surely it's Friday now.

OK - Tweek was missing and had crawled way up in the springs of the recliner so I had to turn it completely upside down and extract her. I've stuffed blankets around the edge. "playing under the recliner" is now off limits :~D.
