The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

In that case, I bet it shows up by early next week, that is if they've actually shipped it.

Yeah probably so. Even if every dog in the city attacks the mailman he can probably get it here in less than a month :P

I'm going to see if I can figure out where the next hole should be and get started on it...though there are some might dark clouds out there. I guess if it gets too wet, Cisco and I can go off in search of a food container, bowls, a brush, and some toys.

And that's all I need.

I also realized there are coupons in the goodie bag the shelter gave me, but for a feed store in Lacey. I don't know if it's worth driving down there to use 'em, though.

Evenin' all. I'm home! The happiest place to be.

Read a book on the trip that, while not perfect, was pretty gosh darn good. It's called Improbable by Adam Fawer and it is true *science* fiction. It's an action thriller that turns around shadowy government agencies, rogue agents, mental illness, non-local realities, quantum physics, and... probability. The premise is clever from the start and just gets better. The story has some technical issues - ie lengthy lecturing monologues - and some language but was otherwise better than average!

Welcome!

A word of advice: Pay no attention to the elves.

The rest of us are ~mostly harmless~

Pay no attention to the elves.

ElfBash!

Hehehe...I always think of a game like Whack-A-Mole except Fredo heads pop out of the holes instead.
