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!

I've got no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing those who borrow wireless. ;-) Though at least I have permission...

Trying to get up the motivation to go to the library. Need books.

Oops...that didn't come out right. Figgered you had permission. I was just explaining away my own mooching. ;-)

Off to the library. Maybe this round I'll get books I won't have the urge to rewrite. Ungh.

FReeping cuts into my reading time more than it should. But I've at least been getting in twenty minutes or so during lunch and a bit more in the evenings.

Still little enough that I'm ticked off by mediocre literature.

I just received this email, posted without comment except for security redactions.

--------------

Hello,

My name is Kristi N. I am PFC N.s' wife. I am sorry to inform you that my husband was KIA in Iraq on Dec. 25th. The reason I felt the need to tell you was because I know that you did so much for him. He always talked about how great you were for doing what you do for the troops. I know that he had gotten many things from you and he just loved it all. I'm sorry to inform you the way I am but I guess there was no other way to tell you. You can contact me at my email address - [redacted] of at his e-mail( I will check it still to see if there are e-mails I need to know ). Thank you for all you did for our unit in helping getting them things. Thank you so much for what you do!

Thank you,

Mrs. N.

I don't know. The funeral will be in St Johns, Michigan, north of Lansing. I've asked her for information so we can either send flowers, or a donation in his name to some charity.

This hits hard, even though he was just a name in an email. And I realize that "just" doesn't do justice to this fine man.

I've never seen Pirates, I don't think, so I've surely never seen Pirates II.

Oh man, that was great!! And he's right, you hear Pachelbel everywhere, though I still love the song.

We've decided not even to bother trying to get any guns in MA. We're gonna wait til we get to MS; a LOT less trouble! ;o)

God Bless her and her family. That was very kind of her to let us know, and especially to tell us how much the things you've sent from the Hobbit Hole meant to her husband.

Winmag, please let her know she is in our prayers and we are so sorry for her loss.

What can you say to that? And what a woman she must be to think of letting us know in the middle of everything else she's dealing with! God bless her. Will be praying for her.
