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!
~cough~ Well, when I googled ‘smokin hot’ I did ~not~ get pictures of you.
You have to disable “SafeSearch”...
Ah.... there you are... ;~)
;-)
Family continues Oregon-bound roadtrip with dead grandma in RV
Just like....eeewww...
Drink hot whiskey with lemon. I hear that’s good for coughs and hacking.
Or at least you don’t care.
Yep, I’ve heard that. Kinda hard to do that from Fangorn. Here I’m having to rely on Theraflu. If I don’t die first, I can have another one in about 30 minutes...
Ugh...thanks for the warning. At least it isn’t so windy any more. Driving home last night was interesting. The wind really wanted to just pick me up and put me down one lane to the right.
Snow... Just a dusting here too. Maybe an inch in spots. Little less in other spots.
And it’s still here this morning. Just enough to make everything pretty. It’s apparently staying cold out. Roads are a little icy.
More. Bring me... more. :-)
There's lots of places where that's not a very good idea ;~)
But don't say ugh. Just be careful going in. It's going to be sunny and bright and cheerful all week, and I think we all need that!
Turn right and drive about 30 miles, and I think you’d find plenty :~) They have so much snow on the pass I think it feels a little like a luge run... snow banked up on the sides 10 feet up or more :~)
Yah, I talked to a couple in the waterin’ hole last night who had just come over the pass. A “luge run” comes pretty close to his description, and he still had white knuckles.
I’d be fun to get up there and play in the snow with the Jeep... if I was the only one there. I don’t think a luge would be so much fun when all the lugers are running at once.
It might make the luge more interesting for the spectators. ;~)
I did a dose of Thera-Flu last winter. GAK, that stuff was nasty!
The sore throat stuff with the cinamon-apple flavor is tolerable.
Carbon....good....
I tried to stay in the middle lane...so I'd at least have some room to shift to the right. ;-)
Not too bad on the drive in. As usual, the road to the interstate was the worst. That road has to rank right up there in the slickest roads in the county category - it's almost always icier than anywhere else.
It's glorious out. Crisp and clear and cold and sunshiny.
...and it's organic too!
