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!

The animation is "clunky." Kinda like they're clapping out of rhythm.

Like I said, it's fine when I go to just the url of the image.

Yeah, I see that, but then I always do, so I thought that was normal.

He's feeling okay. I think the worst of it's over.

He actually had a meeting with a Marine recruiter at noon and was going to get his application in at King's Dominion after that. I think he's out of the woods.

It's ok about Joshua...he's got 4 more years to participate.

This was Matthew's last year.

I got some goat yogurt from the grocery store. Feeling adventurous, I guess.

Having some with honey, and grapes on the side.

I see y'all were up to 68 degress today! I think we topped out about 50. We had ice on both the van and truck last night, but by this morning, it had melted.

I have a geek question.

If I sent an email to joesmith@joemith.com

And I accidentally typed it as joesmith@joesmith.com.

with the period on the end...would that go through?

I sent it from Comcast, but at Fangorn, so I don't recall getting an error message.

The recipient hasn't responded, but I know his schedule for the week might have precluded that. Still, it's the kind of email that requires a follow up from me. If it DIDN'T go through that's a better thing, but I could confuse the issue by sending a follow up.

Any way to figger this out?

I like Visio ... you can use it to make cool maps of fictional towns.

Say ... yesterday I attended a Microsoft conference, "Ready For A New Day," at which they handed out free product keys and resource disks for Office 2007 Professional and the Groove server. Attending the conference cost me $5.00, for parking fees, and four hours of my time.

And the seminar was actually kinda cool.

The various events can be found here
