The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Spiderboy last night. Doesn't every 8 year old wear a belt like that?

David Bowie's very hot supermodel wife. She had roles in L.A. Story and the Star Trek movie where Kirk got sent to the Klingon prison planet.

Wow, congrats to him! That's awesome!

I just got a karate gi today. Now if we can just manage to make more than one class every two weeks I might get to earn a yellow belt one of these days.

hawks is kewl...

she-bob thecat surprised me tuhday... went intuh the old lean-to tuh checheck on 'em, and she had a little bird stuffed so far down throat that only the feet and tail were stickin' out... rather have 'em eatin rodents tho'...

had a magnificent buck at 7 yards this evenin', and me with a muzzle loader and an already-filled buck gun-tag... I was lookin' fer a good meat-doe, but he came amblin' by... I was leanin' against a white oak, wind in muh favor... he had a beautiful tall and wide beam, 8 to 10 inch tines... woulda been an 8-pointer, but his right antler was busted off... he'll be a hoser next year... I wanna see the buck that broke his antler... I think I know the culprit... he was the monster that ran right under muh stand a month ago hot after a estrous doe...

that and the flock of 19 turkeys I saw made for a great hunt...

At the office, when I mentioned the test, a WHOLE BUNCH of ears turned. Finally, one of my guys asked, "So, he can kick your @$$ then?"

Heh, ain't that the way of the hunt. Still, great watching 'em close up like that. Sounds like he'll be one to look for next year. Tried yer cross-bow this season?
