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!

Sheesh. All we have it a “learn how to caucus” meeting and a Dungeons and Dragons game starting tonight. We have a full five hours between those two events for writing.

Caturday - and ‘boot blocks’ up again around town. This time the wrestling team wants us to give them money, last week it was the gym team, before that..Sheesh. I’d think the wrestling team would advertise that they’ll split wood or clean yards, good money and exercise at the same time.

Well the oil changed turned into the winter weather checkup with the car.

Need more coffee ~sip~

Meanwhile, I guess I’d better get ready for the trip. I’ll be flying home with Miss Cat for Thanksgiving week. I just need to find a cat carrier that will fit under an airline seat, get all Miss Cat’s drug paraphenalia together, etc.

Well I hope she thinks so. Now that they have indirect flights, it shouldn’t be too bad....and it’s cheaper than boarding her over a holiday. Oh the boarding’s not that expensive but when you figure in administering two medications twice a day and then have to pay for the tech to come to work to give the medications (like on Saturday evening, Sundays, and holidays when the vet’s office is closed) it adds up.

Heh, sounds like a good suggestion! We just had a kid from a BASEBALL team come to the door. I guess they want to start their fundraising early!

Protesters stop military transport, delay work. We just came from breakfast at the truck stop where a bunch of truckers were waiting for Oly police to say the road is clear so they can get through, I guess. This is one of the more ridiculous protests, because not only are the transports civilian trucks, this equipment is coming HOME from Iraq... which is what these people are supposed to want. The troops are already here, Stryker unit returned last week... this is just their stuff.

We're gonna head down there right now and see if we can help :~)

The legend lives on, from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitche-Gumee
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead, when the gales of November come early.

First time I heard “Edmund Fitzgerald”, I thought it was about some old sailing ship! Amazing that modern ships can go down so quickly!
