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!

Yeah - probably a leash requirement.

So did you go to the truck stop for breakfast? Did you have pancakes? Did they have hash?

Who all stayed there last night?

Yes, yes and yes. ;-)

J and his fiancee, Jim, and my littlest sister stayed. Just the three of us now.

I used to go to Tolmie to swim Logan quite a bit when I lived near there. Tolmie State Park (page 1 of 2)

If you go there, you won't know where to look, but right next to the park is a little duplex. My family lived there when we first moved to WA when I was little. Tolmie was not a park then. Ramius used to swim in the Lagoon that is in the park. I was too little for that.

Looks like we may do a bigger *plan*, though perhaps I shouldn't use such a scary word. Some of the northern folks might meet us there.

But they're just starting their day. We're the morning folkses down here, I guess.

The website says the walking trail is 3 miles, and I remember it being easy... it's a walk in the park, not a hike. If I remember right there's even little signs here and there pointing out things about the flora and fauna.

Afterwards, there's another truck stop at that exit by the freeway, with more great truck stop food. Big breakfast all day, or a prime rib for about $10.

You work well with others and often
fix problems quickly. Your romantic
relationships are often bungled.

Here's another thing if you wanted to meet closer to ~them~. There's another park in Tacoma that you could go to... Point Defiance. ( Metro Parks Tacoma > Point Defiance Park )

There's a zoo and aquarium there, but also a park with trails, and also the Old Fort Nisqually, an original frontier Army fort. The zoo and the fort would be less dog-friendly though.

I don't remember Geordi ever having any romantic relationships at all, but then I guess I didn't watch TNG that often anyway.

Well, the zoo and probably the fort cost money, but the zoo is kinda cute, it's a small zoo, and the aquarium is really nicely done. And I think the walking trails are still good if that's what you're going for. A little early for the Rhodies - too bad, cuz they have a big rhodie garden. Lots of harbor seals and sea lions around Point Defiance. If any of the trails say they go to a viewpoint for them, take them up on it.

If you're going to the zoo and taking Cisco, there's probably places to park that are shady. It's not gonna be ~too~ warm today.

He'd have a guest star love interest and then she'd get mutated into something awful... or she was a hologram... or something. It didn't happen often but it never went well.

He got a crush on the holodeck image of the woman scientist who developed his warp engine upgrade. It was part of the "optional materials" that came with the hardware. Later, he got to meet her in real life.
