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!

You rock, chica. :-)

I do so hate my congressional representation. Really I do.

Maria Cantvotewell was just on TV... whining about how "The Administration" just didn't care about port security.

Wow, Maria... you're just today deciding to profile Arabs? Hey... welcome to the party... you're a little late.

Funny... it was congress that set the rules for these sorts of operations, transfers of ownership, and all of those rules were followed in order for this lease to be approved. Including congressional review.

Imagine that.

Of course it is completely unreasonable to think that congresspersons would ever actually do anything they say that they will do.

Oy.

I can't hear you over the echoes in my empty head, sir.

Ack... I love Laura Ingraham, but she's going totally off the rails this evening.

This Dubai thing just isn't the story that people think it is. It really isn't.

But I've got a feeling that cool heads will not rule the day.

There are bandwagons in both parties and no one likes feeling left out. :-)

Let 'em rant whilst you nod and smile politely.

She's just so...blank.

I have to tell myself that I am good.

I'm all nervous about the interview tomorrow. Went out and bought new stockings, even!

The recruiter who set this up is a friend of ours, and I don't want to let him down.

<fret --- somebody's got to, now that Rosie has a job>

Let me be the first to apologize for the representation you'll find in your new state.

Our senators are particularly embarrassing.

[sigh]

It's not my fault. Really. :-)

That's sort of scary. The seagull looks rather... anthromorphic, for one thing; I think he and the boy are going to start a duet any minute now.

No need to talk yourself into it. You simply ~are~ good, chica.

And an asset to any company with the smarts to hire ya.

You won't let him down. He wouldn't have set it up if he didn't have confidence in you in the first place.

It'll be easy, peasy, mac-n-cheesy.

No apology necessary!

Let me be the first to tell you that I am going to enjoy registering Republican there. May many looks of sheer horror be sent my way.

I love a challenge. WA will go red state in my lifetime. Just watch. :-)

You've been watching the Food Network.

Specifically, you've been watching The Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver.

Easy, peasy.

And, yet, I love his shows. Go figure ...

There's really nothing there. She's not just dumber than a box of rocks. She's dumber than a box with no rocks in it. In a head-butting contest with Patty Murray, it would be a tie.

That's ~powerful~ dumb.

We'd never have heard of her outside of annoying PTA meetings, if it weren't for the part where she married a guy that invented a thing called "Nintendo". This made her rich faster than she could spend the money and therefore fooled her into thinking that she was smart. The rest is this recent bit of embarrassing state history.

It's the one channel I never watch, chica!

I'm channeling a naked chef? Oh lordy. Don't tell Corin.

Naked chefs shouldn't cook bacon.

Just a thought.
