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!
Good heavens!!
Hold on, guys!! Don't get blown off a bridge!
Good grief! I'm sure you could have thought of a million other things to do with your time than standing there listening to them ignore you. I'd be thinking of 2 x 4's upside somebody's head!
*shudder*
You were right on the trees down. Two dead trees behind our place and between our place and yours went down. Pictures coming...
Ruh-roh...
The fir was headed toward our place, but couldn't reach us. :~)
Looking back toward your place.
I'm surprised we didn't hear these thud when they hit. I only heard one big crack that I thought was a big branch.
Wow! Heads up!
Any more widowmakers like that around?
Yeah - there are a few other standing dead, but I don't think any of them can reach us. One that's by the trucks is not real big and would probably go the other way if it went down.
Yowsers! That's a good sized tree!
It's a good sized former tree :~) This is why I get nervous in winds! These things are everywhere around here!
Headed out for pancakes... back later!
Guess the ground was too wet to thud. ;-)
~snif~
(sorry for the image-less-ness above)
The Nigerian scam artists have reached a new low. I got an email from a "Sgt." in Kuwait that wants to split $25,000,000 from an "unnamed" individual.
If I send him my account info, I'll get a third of the money.
Loved him in Young Frankenstein, and if I'm remembering correctly, he once showed up in an episode of X-Files!
Aww, jeez.
We'll have to watch Young Frankenstein today in his honor.
Whoa!
Seems like you guys are having more Big Windy's than I recall you ever having before!
Yikes! Maybe you should park at the store.
Yeah - it seems to be our year for wind storms. Normally get these twice or so a winter, and I think this is 3 or 4 isn't it?
Well, the trucks ~are~ at the store. We moved them out last night. We usually do move them out when we get wind.
