Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And there are many paths to tread
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! |

hehehehe...
Get the camera (video) ready. *grin*
I wish I had seen that post about you guys going out last night a bit earlier. I was gonna suggest you try out that DVD player with one of The Movies to see how it looks/sounds.

We did try it out... brought along a DVD to watch on the way there - It's pretty cool :~D
But wait till you experience the moving map and the woman who tells him when and where to turn.

I've heard it over the phone, but can't wait to see it in action.
And here I spent my life thinking that guys didn't want to ask for directions. ;-)
Anyway, a DVD player isn't a bad thing to have in the car. If you're parked somewhere waiting for someone, you can move to the backseat and pop in a flick to pass the time.

To: Overtaxed; RMDupree
Well, I guess she can keep a guy company on the road ;~D
We talked last night about an obvious potential upgrade... custom voices you can download... The possibilities are endless :~D

I vote for Cartman's voice!
Program it so that every time you leave the parking garage at work it says "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

Ooooo....a commentary track. I'm going to have to watch it twice!
To: HairOfTheDog
Yup. And like you said, the possibilities are endless. :-D

lordy, indeed. I am getting ready for church. PE is going to stay home so he can figure out how to hang the ladder again. We still dont't have any hot water.
Apparently, the lines are crossed somewhere, because when I went to make coffee this morning, using COLD water from the bathroom tap, the hot water line filled up again and fouled up his plans on working with a dry line. It's still dripping slightly.
In other news, we finally got rain! There were thunderstorms last night!! WooHoo!
To: osagebowman
I'll make a frame for it. Perhaps I'll lay it out in the showere, so I can be sure to hit some good stuff.
To: HairOfTheDog
I wonder how hard it would be to crack that thing and have it yell at you when you make a turn it doesn't recommend. "No, you idiot! Left at Maple!"

It'll make vague squeaking noises when the driver makes too sudden a turn :-)

Last night we made turns that were NOT on the calculated route... it just goes quiet and says "recalculating route". It wouldn't be too hard to program it to insult you at that point ;~D.

That isn't back seat driving...
To: HairOfTheDog
Or at least have it sigh heavily before saying "recalculating route" and maybe complain a bit about how *hard* its life is - so many selfish drivers who just don't *listen*.
To: RosieCotton
Kindof a "Marvin" character. "Oh alright, you can go this way, but you won't like it".

Ha! A Marvin voice character for a vehicle would be awesome! For awhile, at least. ;-)
