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!

Eww, you can have him. Although he was the best thing in that movie.

Well...granted, I'm a bit twisted by having read Maria's own books.

Not that either of 'em looked ANYTHING like they did in the movie.

I think there is some legal relationship there.

I sure hope so, because here's how the two trigger packs look side by side:

ps90_2a.JPG ps90_3a.JPG

And here's how my AUG with its 16-inch barrel compares to the PS90, also with a 16-inch barrel.

p901a.JPG

Since a cold war has broken out between Steyr and the US State Department, Steyr has labelled every pin and spring in their product line a "military munition". That means no sales to American civilians, and police and military have to get State Department approval for each item.

So I snapped up a little-known accessory for the AUG: a new stock that is designed to take the (relatively) cheap-and-available M16 magazine, rather than the elegant-but-expensive AUG magazine, of which we will see no more.

And if I could have gotten that $5 tax stamp, I could have had one of these in semi-auto. Full auto is lots of fun, but overrated. At least the way I shoot full auto weapons.

Yeah, things weren't exactly like they were in the movie, were they?

Not at all! They really changed the timeline...and changed people's characters and made it look like she was the one who got them into music and...well, a lot.

Thanks!

Good morning. ~yawn~

Got to sleep in this morning - using up my last couple days of sick time today and tomorrow. We're planning to go for a ride and then out to a nice decadent dinner.

Enjoy your day, you two.

In some ways it seems like just yesterday that you guys got married....

But in other ways it seems that you've been together forever. :-)

Not exactly Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews, huh? Their story WAS very interesting, though, and the family was successful in the US, eventually.

You know, it's kinda sad, but I've been to Stowe quite a few times and never saw their place there.
