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!

Hopefully you’ll feel better, and your neighbors will tell the dang dog be quiet.

It seems to have shut up. They aren’t home during the day though. They just leave their dog in their yard and go to work, the jerks.

I also noticed that this morning and drew the same conclusion.

Maybe we can pick one up tomorrow. Otherwise I’m ordering yard signs off the internet.

Heh, I’ve got a Fred08 sign for the front yard and a FredHead oval yuppie sticker for my minivan. ;o) Haven’t gotten them out there, yet. Have to do that this weekend.

I just got in from establishing a professional relationship with what is basically Oz's "doctor's office".

Oz is in good shape!

They had this gigantic computer monitor with free internet in the waiting area and I pulled my blog up and left it going. Heh!

Always nice to have a pro confirm what you think you know about the health of your machine :)

Well, if he’s the nominee, I’ll vote for him, but I like Fred better. ;o) I’ll take a picture of mine when I get it on the van. I’ll replace my ‘37%r’ sticker that I got from Little Bill after the 2000 election. That’s the percentage of votes that Dubya got here in MA.

Read this article! They had this article sitting right out on the counter.

http://www.trinitytulsa.com/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/fender_bender9.pdf

The boys and I were sitting there watching Fox news, Matthew was asking me about Bhutto and Musharraf and I was trying to explain it. This guy comes up and says “You can put it on the cartoon channel if you want to.” I said “Thanks, we’re good!”

Then the guy gets in his black corvette and heads out...it was this guy, Miller, from the article. I recognized him later when I got a cup of coffee and saw his picture.

Matthew said “And when a girl does notice you, I suggest you just look down at your food and keep eating.”

Wise child!

Heh, wonder what he thought about, listening to you discussing the Pakistan situation with the boys? I’m sure he hasn’t seen that kind of thing very much!

Who knows. I had just explained to his receptionist that the car was called “Oz” and when I was filling out the paperwork to have it worked on, I couldn’t find the blank for that information.

So really, Suz...who knows what people think when they overhear me?

;-D

Ha ha!

(Tonight is the RA’s overnight lock-in at TCDTS. Steve took JP...Matthew, who is too old for RAs now, is home with me. We’re basking in the glow of electronics.)
