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!
Oh hallelujah! That's wonderful news! Ohmyohmyohmy.... wonderful!
That's cuz Iowa is vanilla... and stuff. Am I allowed to say that??
My car is dying.
It’s just pining for the fijords.
We went to the mall this afternoon to pick up a wedding gift for Matthew’s associate choir director. Swung by American Eagle and found this pair of plaid shorts...Matthew wanted to try them on. So I found the smallest pair I could find, size 26, and off he went, like a bolt of lightening.
It took me a second not to blurt out “WHERE’S the BOYS dressing room???” I caught myself just in time to realize there was just one dressing room. I quickly assessed that all was on the up and up, but Matthew was already in a changing room...I couldn’t find him. So I started hollering “Matthew!”
This real tall well-dressed young man working in the dressing area said “I think he’s in here.” and knocks on the door and says “Matt! Dude! You in there??” I hear Matthew say “Yep” so I kicked back and waited.
Matthew walked out of that changing room and nearly took my breath away. There stood another slightly shorter well-dressed young man and I swear, I couldn’t breathe. He looked so so nice! Everyone looked to see why I was standing there so stunned and everyone agreed (even some young ladies waiting for a changing room) that he looked very nice.
I think the dressing room guy thought he’d made a sale for sure, but those shorts cost $44 and he underestimated my will-power.
I came home and immediately called my mom about them! Heh!
These next few years are gonna be so fun!
Evening Bear - didn’t know all those things about 23. I thought you might link to the 23rd Psalm. Or in a banglist/ Saturday Nite Gun Pron perhaps it could have been the Glock Model 23.
Evening Talon - good rant and well deserved; flyover country is just that, it simply doesn’t register. Us mid-westerners think differently of course. We’ve been following it closely, having coworkers with parents, family and friends in your area as well as across the state. Illinois is next, Missouri will follow though it’s unlikely we’ll have it as bad as you all did up there. We’ve seen the slides from and of the folk’s offices both before and after.
My heart goes out to those folks who lost their homes, lost their possessions and are now being kept from getting back to them until ‘authorities’ will permit them in. That’s my mini-rant.
Wiki is good for random useless info, but not for serious stuff. Their bias prevents them from being taken seriesly.
That's one reason they have a hard time evacuating the Outer Banks when a hurricane's coming. People don't want to be kept out of their properties for weeks after.
After Isabel, my brother and his wife went to Nags Head because they had power there and not here. He said the only people allowed back on the island were property owners and beer trucks. :-)
Well, that sounds like a very sensible solution. Beer Trucks and Property Owners. Wonder if they are doing that for Iowa?
LOL. That picture describes why I dumped Comcrap.
Clever girl! Isn't it fun to watch them get all grown up?
When I got home from MS, I found out that Joseph had bought a scooter on eBay. He and SirKit had found one over in Worcester. It looks a little the worse for wear, and it will need a new battery, but the thing was only $76! It's considered an electric bike, so he doesn't need a license, or a tag, to operate it!
He's looking around for replacement parts; it needs a new cowling, and a new box on the back. It was made in New Orleans, or at least it was sold there, so he's going to write his cousin to see if her husband, who grew up in New Orleans, might know someone who sold them, or a junkyard that might have some and we could buy some parts. He's so excited about it, but he still has two courses he needs to finish before the middle of July, so he's working hard on those, and doesn't have a whole lot of time to work on the scooter til then. He's happy he'll have a quick way of getting around campus!
My sympathies. Our #1 son came over the other day to help us on the house, and said he’s looking to have to replace his car. It’s only 13 years old, I can’t imagine why he’s having any trouble with it! ;o)
Talon’s car... which is more like 19.... is suffering. All we need. Especially since the washing machine has decided to stop draining.
Jr’s car is dead. We’re trying to dispose of the body on Craigslist.
On the bright side if we sell my car we probably will not make enough to buy a decent washer.
