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!

So I should look in the painting section if they don't have it in gardening?

Yeah, one evil professor in the evil AI course wants the midterm scheduled the Friday before spring break - that's March 10th - which sort of makes that weekend bad as far as the marriage counseling thing goes.

Otherwise it's pretty open and flexible, the other class doesn't have firm test dates but it doesn't sound like there will be any Friday tests at least.

I don't know what section it was in...it's called plastic sheeting. It was in a roll, iirc. In a plastic bag.

What I used was what I used last year to enclose the chicken coop.

Ha!

I've never figured out the trick to taking action shots. Those came out great! Though the glowing eyes are a little disturbing...

*snicker*

Tam likes doing stuff like that to Halvah. She always jumps when he does, and considering she's built more or less like a small cow (not so much fat as she is vey stocky), it's funny when she does.

Ah, is that it?

My camera is a little slow between shots. I'm still getting used to that. I guess even my old regular one took a little time if I was using the flash, so it isn't tooo bad.

Yeah - it's the bane of digitals... slow shutter reaction time and slow between shots. Right now you can spend about a thousand dollars and get one that's faster, but the price is coming down.

My camera has a half-pushed position on the shutter that focuses the lens without taking the picture. If you hold it down and wait, and follow the action along, it's ~almost instant to click the picture.

Yeah, mine has that feature, too. Catch is that it doesn't mean the *next* shot will come quickly. There's a feature that takes a buncha shots a few seconds apart, but I haven't played much with that.

Man...just watched "Leave Her to Heaven". It was kinda painful. Ellen (main gal) makes Scarlett O'Hara look like a piker when it comes to ruining lives. Ouch.

Least it had a happy ending, though. *snif*
