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!

LOL, you're right Man, Power to the rear wheels, er. People...

Actually these were 'series' yuppies that live a new addition across the road the dogpark. A 'vey' pricey addition.

Therefore, perhaps you are correct, they are taking a stand/making a statement on behalf of old(er) folks, or downtrodden ones, or something to that effect.

Well, I think our wanderers got a friend to come pick them up. She said they were on their way to a friend's tonight to take showers... they'd been camping up in Capitol Forest last couple of weeks.

Well...that's kind of a relief. I doubt they were anything but harmless, but even so...

Nothing like so nice... ;-)

I dreamed last night that my water line had broken - had a big ol' gushing river running by the house. In my dream, the landlord and his wife lived on a hill above my place, so I went up to talk to them about the problem, but found them packing their suitcases and couldn't get him to help...he wouldn't look me in the eye and just said he'd been *meaning* to tell me they were leaving.

And...as it turns out, our water line is leaking, and we don't really have a way to get in touch with him, and he just finally told the store folks he'd sold the store. Hasn't told me anything still.

We've got water bubbling up out of the ground, right where the gypsy folks wanted to park today. I didn't see anyone actually drive back there, but it's happened before when someone did, the water line's only a couple inches down, and it's old, and brittle.

Well...Cisco's ears are gooped. He's taking his frustrations out on a new rope bone I got him at PetCo - there's a Walgreen's across the street, so I just went there.

Hopefully it clears up fast!

Thanks for lending me the wash...is that something you have to get from the vet? I suppose I should probably get a bottle one of these days...it's likely this will be on-going, if my lab was typical.

That's a vet thing, though they might have it at larger pet stores... Get the blue kind like that if you get some, it's a little soapy and cleans better. There's another type that's oily and it's not good, leaves their ear rather oily.

So... did you try to not look itchy at the store?

Reminds me of a time the toilet clogged up in the wee hours of morning and overflowed, and I didn't have a plunger. I went in to Albertson's that's open 24 hours.

This super cheerful clerk said "AND HOW ARE YOU THIS MORNING?" I said... "I'm buying a plunger at 4 am... how do you think I'm doing?" ;~D

Doesn't sound like anything that'll help you sleep at night, that's for sure. *shudder*

I just found out they're ordered a Blackberry for me. I'm so depressed.

Welcome to the 21st century, and s#!t. It's OK man... 3veryon3's doin' it... just try some... just a little... if you don't like it... that's cool... you don't have to if you don't want to...
