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!
Aw, man...so you had to go through all of that and not get any input?
That stinks.
Technically, no, I can’t talk about it until there’s a verdict.
There’s a tiny chance that one of us could be called back if a juror gets sick or something before there is a verdict.
[Sigh]
I don’t expect that to happen.
OH man... that stinks! Unfair! Protest! Stomps foot!
Hey... I got a jury summons today.
Oryly?
Cool...
Yeah - last week in November.
Well, when then announce the verdict, be sure to tell us what you think!
Which courthouse do you have to go to? Is there one over by the new complex of allkindagovermentoffices, where they have the statues and no on-street parking? ;-)
No, it’s up on the hill over the lake.
Ah. So you really have to go to *town*. :-\
But at least the view is nice...
OK, so I just wrote the first thousand words or so of another story. I have one more day to work on it before abandoning it.
Life isn’t fair.
Ah, too bad. I loved those commercials. I always thought he was such a looker!
Well that stinks! So can you share anything after the deal goes down?
Grrr! All of that... for that!
We might be goin up to the cabin Friday evening. Got a report that it may have been broken into. So we're in a quandry. If we got cleaned out, going up on Friday evening would be bad because it's cold and the mattress and blankets might be gone. Going up on Saturday would be a round-trip situation and a lot of driving with little R&R associated with it.
It’s morning again. Ungh.
Oh dear...
Is there anyone nearby who might be able to do an initial reconnaissance on your behalf?
That’s how we knew. The naybers were up for hunting season; they checked the cabin and found the back door wide open. They gave us a call. There wasn’t anything big and valuable up there; with the exception of the dog kennels, everything was moderate-low priced items of camping convenience. Still tho. It is irksome.
Would they be able to check on the status of the bed and that?
Ungh...now I’m a little worried. Just got a call from my sister asking if I’d heard anything from my brother, as they hadn’t heard anything about the baby and all. She went in on Monday. I’m hoping he’s just too busy to call or something, but...
It’s a pain when people violoate your personal space/stuff. I hope things are okay.
