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!

Today, a hugh chunk of ice slid off the metal roof on a Kinkos and whammed right into a car that was parked in front. Bashed in the window and caved in the hood and front top of the car. There was actually a guy sitting inside and they had to take him to the ER!

Folks don't understand how dangerous ice can be. I've seen hugh chunks flying off cars down the highway. I give those cars a WIDE berth!!

Morning, heard we're supposed to get snow then get the ice pellets.

Bread, milk, eggs, doggie treats, kitty litter...

When I lived in MN, I visited the U of MN campus a couple times. In addition to the radiant heat under the sidewalks, they also have an extensive pedestrian tunnel system. You can get from building to building without having to go outside.

Pretty handy stuff when it's -20° outside.

Yes, but since I'm on a diet, it helps with the bulemia.

Wouldn't hurt. If'n we had a garage, the vehicles would be in. I am really getting sick of winter ice stuff. Global warming--bring it on!!!
