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!

While I still have power ...

Winmag, can I ask silly questions about your two examples here?

Hehehe...

Give me oil in my lamp keep it burnin' burnin' burnin'
Give me oil in my lamp I pray....Hallelujah!
Give me oil in my lamp keep it burnin' burnin' burnin'
Keep it burnin' til the break of day.

We lost power from 10pm-2am. Heard some noises in the night and can see now that it was trees breaking...will send the camera out with G'nad when he comes back. He's out checking the road for downed trees. We have neighbors (the kids piano teacher and husband) coming over tonight for Chinese food. We're celebrating the end of our study of China and are having Cashew Chicken, egg rolls, gyoza, G'nad's special stir fry, egg drop soup, and green tea. Should be a fun evening (maybe even as much fun as Corin had last night).

Winter weather check-in from the southern marches, while I still have power ...

There's a loud and nasty thunderstorm sitting over Austin that woke me up at 8:15am or so. The general line of thunderstorms is moving northeast, but this sucker keeps redeveloping in place, over Austin.

Temperatures have dropped ~28 degrees in the last 3.5 hours, from 68 degrees at 4am to 40 degrees as I type. Nearly 5 inches of rain has fallen in the last 24 hours in parts of town, and we have flash flooding warnings up.

It's supposed to rain all day today and tonight, and then freeze Sunday ...

Actually, the main temp drop (20° or so) happened over about an hour and a half, from 5:00 am to 6:30 am... it's been dropping more slowly since then.

Meanwhile....

We have road scraper trucks cruising up and down the street...dropping salt, I guess, and waiting for the next round.

Well, okay...maybe not dropping salt. They're driving too fast for that.

The freezing line is moving through Dallas/Fort Worth, and moving south.

Meanwhile, the Austin Fire Department is executing a swift-water rescue in South Austin ...
