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!

300WM, any chance on getting a Hobbit Hole knife for him?

Absolutely. At least a pocket knife, plus a sheath knife if he's in an appropriate MOS. What branch is he going into?

Army, but he’s got three or so years of school and ROTC first.

Okay, a nice pocket knife first, something really special for a sheath knife when he graduates. Be sure to fill him in on the Hobbit Hole's work.

Do I have a good address for you? I should be able to mail it tomorrow if you get me that address.

Ah... good old GMT. More people should use it. IMHO.

Speaking of time... looks like Google has added a really useful feature to GMail:

Hmmm... it seems to depend which FR type of window is open, for what time zone it thinks we’re in.

Perhaps there’s still some curd in the milk. Methinks.

Do you have a constant?

I’m seeing Pacific time right now even though I am on the east coast.

I was just fixing to have do do some work! Gak, that was close! ;o) I'm cleaning up around my desk in the den, throwing away catalogs, filing stuff, etc.

I was also researching courses at Univ. of Sou. Mississippi. Joseph was accepted this week into the Honors College at the school, and even got a small scholarship, so that's cool!
