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!

Something finally made sense and the thread stopped.

My job when I worked at IBM (and why I was so good at parsing Clinton's BS):

It only took 5 years to work it all out. Well, we could talk about it all again if you want to keep going.

That's ok because in HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy, something made sense and then the Earth got destroyed.

Well, our 'storm' has been and gone, the wind portion didn't last very long and didn't amount to much. Now we wait, it's getting cold and by morning we are promised snow :~)

That's always such a bother...

Oh, good evening. I found out about this today. Rose and I are thinking of going, if we can save up sufficient funds for it.

Hopefully no refreeze, too...

Well, another day over. Was busy, though I can't account for it all. I did try.

And I found a bar of really good quality dark chocolate in my purse. Meant to give it to my sister-in-law for Christmas, but then I'd decided I wasn't sure if she liked dark and got something else. Had kinda forgotten about this bar.

Oh, bah, that's the weekend after Talon's friend's wedding and I doubt we'll be up for travel then. Not to mention the unsubstantiated rumors of HP7 release... though I doubt those.

If you're still in IA it would only be a 3-4 hour drive... would be a 12 hour drive for us, easy enough to do within one day. It's a bit pricey though, so for us it depends on whether Rose gets another steady job between now and then.
