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!

Now if I can control the whitefly and thrips, I'll be all set.

Well, according to the weatherfellas & gals, will be in the 50's all week. Should be good and thawed out by mid-week.

Well, I wrote ticket 777777 at work last week, so I won't be gunning for this one here. I saw the number coming up, and worried that someone on the day shift would snaig it, but it waited around for me to grab it on midnights.

In the "I swear I am not making this up" department...the tomatoes I got at the grocery today have stickers on them advertising a new 2-DVD special edition of Disney's Peter Pan.

I wonder which demographic they're targeting with *that* campaign.

That shot shows where we are now, three-quarters done with the floor. It's going together beautifully. We should finish tomorrow, then it's on to trim work.

The lighting is wrong, the top part of the wall is not nearly so green.

Heh...not usually. But I noted one said "Disney", which just didn't seem right to me. So I looked more closely.

The hospital system has lots of trouble (boy, does it), so there are lots of trouble tickets. We (the number varies, but usually there are about 16 people, spread across three shifts) have produced over a half million tickets over the last three years. Of course, we have 20,000 users, and several thousand of them are logged on at any one time.
