The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
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! |

No. But I figure if he wants to go deaf so badly, he should concentrate the soundwaves a bit so he can get it over with quicker. :-D

Should be able to zoom out and see it pretty clear...?
Yes... cruise ships might go past there on their way in and out of Anchorage.

when bottling homebrew, you add a small amount of priming sugar to the brew before you bottle it... the yeast converts the sugar to alcohol and CO2, providing the carbonation for the beer... I have 1.25 gallon kegs, and they don't require co2... just a couple tablespoons of priming sugar... jest ask corin how it tastes...
microbrews and reg'lar pissbeers are pasteurized, which kills the yeast, and therefore CO2 must be injected...
to market a beer, it almost always has to be pasteurized... which complicates things... fargin' feds..

Heh...and no one feels like dealing with the little pipsqueak. So he doesn't realize he's really only a chihuahua.
Some people really need to grow up. Coupla other phrases I could use here, but I'm too much of a lady. ;-)
To: HairOfTheDog
*laughing*
Good comparison.

wiping beer off of face, holding exploded box: like I said, I got small kegs... beer is under more pressure than yuh think... maybe the tencil strength of bag material is the problem... maybe the cost is too high to make it readily marketable...

That sounds like a suitably cheesy title...
To: RosieCotton
Heh. There's a Master Ninja II also. Wonder if the llamas are in that one.

More fun with Google Earth...
The house I grew up in:
34°32'23.51"N, 112°28'38.17"W
UofAZ Music building:
32°14'5.48"N, 110°57'20.20"W
The first of my MN apartments:
44°58'10.46"N, 93°22'25.89"W
Area 51:
37°14'12.43"N, 115°48'19.96"W

Yah. I'm thinkin' maybe just a plastic mesh around the bag might contain it. The flat sides of the box might need something extra... or else just change the shape of the box. More square, and tall, with a cylinder shaped bag inside it.

Maybe it took them until II to recruit llamas in sufficient numbers for the film.
To: Ramius
Hey, remember if this idea takes off:
I can do payroll! :-)

Cool... I went to look for the house out by black lake but it doesn't seem to have enough resolution there to make it out.

They painted it olive green.
But the cedar's still there :~D
