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!
Mornin’. Just put Papa’s flag out myself.
Have to take Jr. to work, errands by post office and bank. Then back to mow the rest of the yard. Realized last night that I’ll be out of town the next three weekends, so I’d best get busy with theyard.
The weather glass is as low as it ever gets...hight pressure.
Three weekends? We hoping at least one of them includes a vacation. (Insert chevy chase ‘Vacation’ poster here) :-)
Morning OT - looks like a nice weekend then. Gardening on the agenda?
Yeah, I’ve still got some transplants to set out and maybe plant some more beans. If the wind stays calm I’ll start Operation Roundup.
I got 3.7, 1.6, and the last was 1.5 inches of rain. TheNayber isn’t pumping water anymore so I guess he’s okay.
So is that cement good for patching cracks in concrete slabs? I’ve got a couple of cracks showing up in the garage area where there’s no crawlspace.
I’m watching the news here...
Do you folks have a rowboat or something?
Well that was interesting.... you see all the cops?
Woke up to a cop parked in my driveway and other cops walking around the store on foot.
Went out there and gave the universal hand shrug for “what’s up?” One comes over and asks if I saw anyone run through. I said no. He said they’re looking for a fugitive that they think ran in the store, who had a stolen car.
He says I should probably go back in the house, but then he tells me he heard something like a metal sound, like a gate, in the barn. Well, all three horses were out in the pasture so there shouldn’t be anything in the barn.
I asked them if they wanted to go clear it, and they did, just for shts and giggles. They didn’t think the guy came that way, but they couldn’t find him in the store, they’d searched it! They were dumfounded as to where the guy went. They went back out the gate.
A few minutes later I hear this “Get your hands up!” and I see him release a dog, and they all go running, and I turn to ecurbh and say, this is a bit of a dangerous situation! But they all went in the store, I guess the guy was up in the rafters!
Dang...I always miss all the excitement. I slept through it, apparently. So the guy was in the store?
Actually they all sort of do.
I’m going back to Kentucky for reunion weekend on Friday. The alumni director broke her ankle, and the current (and outgoing) president is scheduled for prostate surgery right after the reunion and won’t be there. So I’m going back to help out.
The next two Saturdays are travel to and from thebeach.
I gotta say...what the heck was that?
I don’t think I liked that episode. It reminds me of how I started just throwing together ending stuff at the end of my first NaNo, just to get it done. OK, so they didn’t actually end the story anyhow, but, among other things...one jump and they’re there? Ookay.
But anyhow.
OK, guess I’d better get a move on. Got about fourteen hours and counting to be completely ready (or as ready as I’m gonna be) to head outta here.
You’re not the only one who slept through it... ecurbh slept through a lot of it too, but they weren’t being loud, they were in stalking mode. There were at a least two cars over on your side, one on mine.
If they hadn’t have found him I was about to call you and make sure he hadn’t snuck in over there.
Yeah - he had somehow climbed up into the rafters of the store... I’ll have to have the owner point out where and how he did that. So they’d missed him on the first search. It was just stubborness on the part of the cop who saw him run in that found him. There was quite a bit of radio back and forth about whether he could have possibly gone anywhere else.
Dang is right...he was Catholic and from a good family...
The cops or the fugitive? The fugitive had a girlfriend.
The one jump thing doesn’t bother me if they had the coordinates. I never considered there to be a distance limitation (unless I missed something).
But yeah, kind of a letdown to see them show up in post apocalyptic earth. Think they’ll run into Will Smith?
Girlfriends are frequently expendable...
Um...sure....
