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!

By the way, another round of freezing rain here... some major highways are being closed due to the number of accidents happening on them. Supposed to have sleet/freezing rain on and off all night and tomorrow morning, then a chance of snow tomorrow afternoon.

Heh, nope, snow chains were outlawed in Michigan years before I moved away. Sometime in the 70s, I think. But that's ok, we have no plans to go anywhere until the ice melts, even if that's not until Thursday.

I'm sure they're fine...they're hardy self-sufficient folks...

They got slammed though...

Oklahoma just to the south of of my area and further south than Becky got hit really hard. It truly looks like a war zone. They don't have power or water in many towns...the water distribution plants have no power.

Also to the NE of us...they too got hit really hard, the same part of the storm that got the g'nads. A store was on the news tonight...they just opened up and let people in to take what they need...they had no power and perishables would just spoil anyway. People were so positive, counting their blessings...typical Okies. (I really love this state, you know...)

I saw Becky in Walmart and they're all right.

If the store wasn't able to take credit cards, etc., I'm guessing those folks who were not able to pay will be back when the power comes back on, to cover what they got tonight.

Good morning all! Here's to hoping we hear from g'nad soon and all is well at their place.

I sent a follow up note to LCS's brother asking how he is doing, and got a reply this morning that LCS has had his surgery and is in a rehab facility in Ocala. He's expected to be there at least another month. I am sorry to say his brother didn't give a lot of information about how he's doing, but I do have an address of the rehab facility he is staying at.

I'm wondering, if it's not too much to ask and if Rose is willing, if she would use the paypal setup she used for the memorial donations to accept donations for a cheery something to be sent to our LCS?
