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!
You already have a boy from a nice Catholic family...
If they've got power today! Have we heard from them this morning?
Haven't heard anything since last night.
Good thing you used that "nice" to modify "family" and not "boy"....
Hey!
I am standing right here!
And you have a problem with that?
Ok, so 'nice" is on the list I'd use to describe you... but way down there. All the words like "weird" and "geeky" and "crazy" come first.
Good...now we wait to hear from the g'nads...
Good morning HH.
Good morning!
We have a bit of what I'm hoping is just snow...
Guess I'd better take it slow on the way to work.
It's been kind of a mix, yes, take it slow. If you want to bring Cisco and let him in the gate, he'd be welcome.
In fact, holler when you're ready and I'll meet you at your gate. I think I can get our gate unlocked this morning :~)
Got some more snow up here... maybe just an inch or two. Still coming down but only slightly. Supposed to quit any time now, then rain this afternoon. [sigh]
A little rain, then clearing up again. I don't long for rain, but I am looking forward to a little thaw. Packing enough warm drinking water out for three horses every day is getting a little old.
OK...probably should go ahead and do that, I guess.
I should get on the road pretty much right off. *sigh*
Hopefully the roads are clear by this afternoon.
I'll be right out.
It's usually in the middle of the night that I think of stuff like that too.
It's 5 degrees here. And windy. Brr! And just plain beautiful. I love sun-on-snow. The roads are mostly clear so all I have to do is enjoy.
Hmm, probably-two-hour meeting starts in ten minutes. I should make sure I'm ready.
Holy moly the roads are bad out there. The interstate was pure ice until about halfway through Olympia. Came close to rear-ending a guy on the hill just before the on-ramp...I stopped at the top of the hill, but then the van started sliding down the other side and brakes did absolutely nothing. Luckily he moved before I could bump him, and I wasn't moving beyond a crawl anyway, but even so...I'm definitely awake now.
At least it's warming up.
The good thing about icy weather fender benders is they happen reeeeeeeeaaallly slooooooooow.
They're still not a good thing. :-\
