The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Criminal. Can’t say much of course, but think big. :-)

Should be really intriguing. Will be a good one to talk about once it is over.

Thanks. I got stuff tied down, drinking water stored, and a can of gas for the generator if need be. I told my boss I might not be back to work after my dentist visit, so I’ll be able to hang around and keep an eye on things in the afternoon if it looks hairy.

The hotel in Toyko wanted like 1000 a day for internet but this one we just checked into in Koyto has it for free so maybe we can upload some pictures later.

Our daughter, Clare, read the entire series. She said they were interesting stories, but it was clear that the author had a very anti-God point of view. Didn’t bother her; she just ignored his bias and enjoyed the stories.

Whoa! Good luck with the jury duty! Hope it’s at least an interesting case.

If I were you I’d stay on the safe side, and not post a word about the case or the process until it is over. They are kind of sticky about that.

We have been so neglectful...not one picture yet. To be honest I have only taken 1. But we do have a few that Hair took yesterday, so I'll give a report.

Tues. when Hair got here we stopped at our building in town and ate a quick supper, and came home, toured the property, sat and visited till Hair collapsed at 8:30.

But we were up yesterday morning before and 6. Drank coffee and visited till 11:30. Hair tried to catch a picture of Harley eating grass under the fence.

We had to run down to Charlie's house to get some sheets and blankets, and then stopped by the saddle shop I go too...can't believe we didn't get pictures. My hot box for the fence stopped working last week, and I don't want Dot and the other mares here without Rocky's fence being hot, so we stopped at the hardware store and got a new one, then went to visit 2J. We stayed at her house for a bit, to see her bug, again, I can't believe we didn't get a picture...what's wrong with us??? The she followed us here to learn the way, and stay for supper and more visiting. Hair rode with her in her new Cruiser.

As she was driving it down the road under a pecan tree, one fell and I guess made a loud bang...Hope there is no ding:(.

2J is a very prepared lady, she carries life jackets to keep from drowning in case she drives off a bridge....hhhhmmmmmmmmm I wonder how much a problem that is?

We hadn't got back to the house but a few minutes and MT called, so I ran back to town to meet her. Then we all gathered around the computer for a while to check in here and check the radar, it did storm a bit. 2J kept us entertained with stories:)

Then all of us ladies headed to the barn to hang the new hot box, and 2J tried to pet the rooster:).

We did get the box up and the fence hot. The plan is this morning to go get Dot, and come home and ride some. I promise I will be better about getting pictures.

Heh... great pics.

That last pic though, my early pre-coffee blurry fogvision eyes could’ve sworn it was a picture of 2J throwing something up over the hay pile. What’s that 2J is throwing in the air... it... looks... like... a —holy smokes it’s a chicken. Why is 2J throwing a chicken?

Oh wait, it’s just standing there. Nevermind.

Mornin’ folkses.

Oh yah. Mum’s the word.

That’s maybe the hardest part of jury duty. Sometimes some really interesting things are done or said in the court room, and yet you can’t discuss it with anyone. Least of all the other jurors in the breaks in the Jury room. It’s really quite agonizing.

Here you are with more than a dozen people all sitting there watching this thing, then you all sit together in a room for hours, and the one thing you can’t talk about is the only thing you have in common.

Then when deliberations start it’s like a dam breaking.
