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!
Yeah. Every channel, it seems. And he has to be in the top five in the “most annoying voices in the world” category.
He, single handedly, makes the DVR a must have item!
Maybe that’s his purpose.
It’s a conspiracy!
I think this is what they call "changeable" ;~)
Good morning :~)
Good morning.
Ugh...didn’t sleep well. There were people yelling in the parking lot at about two, and Cisco got all worked up about it (Good boy!), so it took all of us awhile to get back to sleep.
No bites on the van yet.
Oh - what were they yelling about... another break up? did you at least get to listen?
I think it was a breakup...I couldn’t hear.
And no, I didn’t go outside to listen. Again. ;-)
It was a man and a woman, in any case.
I think there’s a cloud of bad karma hovering over that side of the parking lot. Or somethin’.
Remarkable lack of curiosity!
And you know you can always call us if you think there’s a ruckus that might get out of hand... of course, you also wouldn’t be wrong to call 911 - have a cop come and check it out. People shouldn’t be hanging around closed businesses at night. I’ve called before when we had a party going on out there, and they come right out.
Cisco was growling and pacing and had his back up...I figured if I went out, he’d want to get us involved...
Good advice, though. If something like that goes on for awhile, it probably does make sense to call the cops.
My critters have all gone back to sleep in the bedroom.
We’re just not a very motivated household on Sunday mornings, I guess. ;-)
Sundays can be that way.
We have to go to the feed store and get hay today, it’s going to be our only rain free day, so we ~have~ to move.
The time I called the cops, there was a pack of teenagers partying right in my driveway... it was really weird, and one of those situations, like the pee-ers, where people back up to what they think is a dead end and don’t even realize there’s a house back here. Like they can’t see past my gate.
Well, they were drinking and carrying on and I watched awhile without them seeing me, and there were enough of them, and they were drunk enough, that I didn’t really want to take on all of them alone, because I feared mischief, enough to be a problem but not quite cause enough to start shooting. They were tossing those rr ties that Richard used to keep around like a big javelin. I pictured one of those getting tossed through one of his windows.
So I called 911 and explained where they were, and watched, and it was funny... the cops did a gotcha... they turned their headlights off when they were alongside the pasture, and when he turned the corner into the store, he turned on the spotlight. I watched close then, in case any of ‘em tried to bolt over the gate, but they didn’t. ;~)
But IMHO... a weird place to have a party.
Ha! That’s cute!
Aww...
All I have to say is Starbuck is a Ho......
I'm just sayin'
Ha! Nice picture...
I’m sure she was very helpful. ;-)
At least up there she’s not underfoot when we are totin’ hay. :~)
