The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

The van goes in for a full work-over this afternoon. Gotta make sure it's healthy enough to go the distance!

I think it needs an alignment. It's been pulling to the right - have to hold the steering wheel to the left if I want to go straight. That would get *real* old *real* fast on a long trip. Probably doing a number on my tires, too, I'd guess. *sigh*

Hopefully they don't find any other problems.

Good plan. So much better peace of mind knowing it got a good checkout. Don't forget to have a blanket or two handy and a charged cell phone.

My AAA membership is still active, too. Bought that before heading out here.

If I'm gonna be alone, that's all the more critical, I'd say.
