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!

It does explain why Michelle Forbes was so mean to Pegasus’s Number 6.

I don’t know that anything could fully excuse her for being such a psycho witch...

Maybe they’ll re-show Razor one of these days, though. I’ll try and catch it if so...

Heh...sounds like my workplace. That and pink-eye, too. Fun!

So far I’ve stayed healthy, though. I’m a firm believer in using one of the zinc type thingies at the first sign of a cold - Cold-eeze and such. They may be nasty, but they do work, IMO.

It usually starts as just a little tickle at the back of the throat. Then the dull sort of thick-swallowing that gets scratchy...

So I look out and your landlord is standing at my gate waving a paper.

I holler that I have to find my shoes and I go out there. He’s chuckling and telling me that he opened the reminder for our Ranger registration, didn’t notice that it was ours, went down to DMV and paid for it, went to put it on his van, notices that his does not expire till November, and then notices that the registration is for a Ford Ranger and it has my name on it. So he has our registration and new car tabs, and wants $55.

So I wrote him a check. I guess we don’t have to go now.

I’m a little surprised that they’d ~let~ him renew our car tabs.

Oh dear...I guess it saves a trip to *town*, but that’s a bit scary. Seems like they should check ID and that, no?

The mail situation has been screwy lately. Last week I got a bunch of their mail and bills and something from the Health Department (hm...) and such. I’m thinking maybe I need to get some new letters for the mailbox. Or something. I think the mail person gets lazy sometimes or something. :-\

LOL... Now *that’s* funny.

But why not? I doubt there’s many people that go around renewing other people’s tabs.

Personally, I’m impressed that she was able to interpret his explanation. ;-) That must have been interesting...

I wonder if they’d let you change the name and address. That’s a pretty good way to steal a car. :-)

Evening Corin - we’re glad to hear Nana is back at the nursing home, hope they don’t test out any other medication on her to see if she still reacts the way she did the last time they tried it.

Evening Hair - and you didn’t have to go the DMV, that is a true case of ‘all’s well that ends well.’
