The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Only I have a bad feeling that the cap gun is labelled “Acme” and we’re the coyote...

When Joshua was little, I’d plant him his very own row of snow peas and he would sit in the garden and snack on them right there.

He was such a sweet little toddler. We’d walk through the garden and there would be bites taken out of things, where he’d just bite into something and move on.

Heh heh...

Thanks for the vaccine link...interesting.

Won’t be long now! We’re hoping to be able to see the International Space Station go over this evening. We missed the ‘train’ last night of the ISS and Space Shuttle, then following along after it, the “Jules Verne”, the European cargo hauler. It’s supposed to be mostly clear, but it will be coming over just after dark, and higher in the sky than last night.

I haven’t talked to him. His Mom (my first cousin) is visiting him there now (I think now...).

longest week ever.

On the plus side, my raise is finally going through (we have the world’s slowest HR people) and it’s a tiny bit more than I expected.

Well, I think it offsets what I just told them to increase my withholdings by. Don’t want a nasty tax bill again next year, thanks awfully.
