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!

RE# 586

You're not the only one

I really believe now since HairoftheDog and ecurbh got married and now Talondj and JenB are engaged that this would be the place to meet "Mr Wright" if you know what I mean? ;o)

Yeah...it's gross. I hate to even bathe in it, when it's really really brown.

But that black was alarming! It wasn't a lot, it just gushed out black for a second...

We just live in an old part of town with old pipes. I suspect that because of the drought, the ground heaved during that cold snap and caused the release of the black sediment. It coincided with that cold weather and there were ruptured pipes all over Tulsa due to the ground heaving.

Well the brown is probably just rust... if you let it run, it should clear.

I've never been on a city water supply, always wells, I guess I just expected city water supplies would be more filtered and checked, and ~fixed~ when it got like that.

Sometimes they have to really treat the water for bacteria and such...like with chlorine...and then the by-product of the breakdown of the chlorine can be in excess of what is allowed and that is a known carcinogen. OT and OB probably know what that stuff is called...I can't remember off the top of my head.

So getting the letter in the mail saying they've failed the standard for that test is not something I like to get.

I'm sure the brown is just rust and the black is just old pipe sediment...but still...I don't wanna drink it! Heh heh!

This is nothing. At our best, we discuss half a dozen topics at once.

You're far more patient then I am, sis. I'd be on that phone complaining until they fixed it.

That or find some kind of filtration system I could have installed so the water is cleaned up before it comes out of any faucets in the house.

It would eventually pay for itself if you didn't have to buy bottled water anymore. Or that would be my logic, at least.
