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!

Some of us were having lunch. Spam doesn’t taste good for lunch.

I was eating my omelet and watching the eagle daddy sitting on the three eggs in their nest.

hey... it’s snowing like crazy up here. Big flakes and lots of ‘em. Has been for about 20 minutes. Doesn’t appear to be sticking yet. Not sure if it will.

But it’s just so... odd.

Sunny here - oh - wait, not any more. It’s doing something different every time I look out the window.

Maybe somebody is stealing your house...

As requested, I'm dropping in to remind folks that the two Battlestar Galactica specials will be on tonight at 10 PM EDT on SCIFI channel. The first one will be a review of the 3 seasons to date. If you are not up to date THERE WILL BE SPOILERS! The second show will be various celebrities talking about the BG 'phenomenon'. The fourth season will start on Friday, April 4, 2008. In previous years there has been a Battlestar Galactica live thread on FR.

By the way, I live in a development 12 miles outside of the moderate sized city of Ocala, FL. There are 2 WalMarts in town, one 12 miles away, the other 14 miles, through the middle of downtown. They are about to break ground for a WalMart 2 miles from my house!! Welcome to civilization!

Ah, thanks for that. I won’t watch tonight, but I should be caught up before April 4.

Of course I’ll be in New Orleans...

Evening Corin:

“Nighttime on The City of New Orleans,
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
Half way home, we’ll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea...”
