The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

Yah... apparently someone was eaten. Fox had it a little while ago.

Found the story.

Sheesh. Whatta way to go. :-/

Sunrise is in Broward County and it's densely populated, for the most part. I'd expect something like this to happen in the Everglades, but not in a canal on the side of a major road!

There are many things I'll miss about South Florida. This is NOT one of them.

BTW, did Brad call you back?

Yeah, being eaten by an alligator is not high on my list of ways to go. Actually, not much is, guess I'll have to live forever.

Working on cleaning/last bit of packing here. I'm doing it in small manageable chunks rather than trying to attack the whole place at once.

Nope... I expect he'll call this morning.

I'm just puzzled as to why that chick would be sitting by a canal dangling her feet over the water. It's not like folks don't ~know~ that there are alligators everywhere in those canals.

Just weird.

re: packing. Good strategy. When I get back from next week's SmoochMoot, I imagine I'll be in a packing frenzy.

No e-mail from the other place yet either. :-/

In other news, I had no payrolls scheduled when I walked into the office this morning.

I now have 8 of them. Grrrr...

Heh, well, I have to finish everything today but I did so much already that it shouldn't be a problem. Gotta figure out when to do the cable modem return/oil change errand.

I'd do the oil change / modem return early in the day before folks get out of work for the weekend.

How's the move coming along?

Slowly... movers will be in tomorrow morning to move furniture, then we'll spend the rest of Saturday and probably Sunday moving boxes and the rest of it.

I'm getting to the point of just telling our landlord, "You can keep what's left, sell it if you want..."

Yeah I'll probably head out for that set of errands around two. Working slowly but surely through the lists of stuff...
