The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Doing some late night reading up. Wind chambers, lol, you guys crack me up.
To: osagebowman
Hello, Osage.
Hope you found all well in Missouri.
To: Sam Cree
We have lost the shuttle.
I am so sorry for all.
To: HairOfTheDog
Yes... looks like it broke up during descent, over Texas.
Damn it.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I know!
I have a very special place in my heart for those with the moxy to slip the surly bonds of earth.
They don't have any idea what happened.
To: HairOfTheDog
I have to go and tell Rose.
Damn it.
To: HairOfTheDog
Thank you, Hair.
To: HairOfTheDog
I'm here. I'm glad you're here with me. We're all glued to the TV. Put the flag out again.
It blew up near Waco, apparently...my brother lives near there and heard it. Said it shook the windows in his house.

The crew took this picture on Jan 20th:
And this is what they got to see last Sunday when they took this picture.
To: 2Jedismom
Hullo 2J...
This is just so sad.
When I woke up this morning they were already lost. I wasn't watching when they were expecting it to land and it didn't come.
To: HairOfTheDog
I would give a dollar or two not to have these guests right now. Life is always more fragile than we remember.
Nice to have you guys as friends. I hope for the best for us all in coming months.

Hair; thanks for posting the picture, it helps make it a bit more personal, truly brave men and women, only a heartbeat away from disaster.
The shuttle flights have become so routine, many forget, myself included, how many million things must be right for all to return safely and it is only one thing that needs to go awry and all is lost.
Let us hope for a happy reunion with all the rest of the brave men and women that preceded them to their reward. Let us also pray for those they left behind.

Hi guys. Have you been following the live thread?
To: osagebowman; Sam Cree; 2Jedismom
They had an experience so few ever get to see. I admire them so much for that.
Sorry for the invaders in your house Sam. I am glad you are here with us!
To: Overtaxed
I've just accessed it...terrible news, OT.
I was wondering where you were. :)
To: Overtaxed
Good morning. I couldn't follow the live thread. I am moving to slow. All the talking there seems to grating to me.
I wanted to just post silence.... And I can't find a way to express that.
To: 2Jedismom; HairOfTheDog
I didn't notice this in the sidebar when I logged on about 15 minutes ago, and this is the first I've heard of it. My prayers for their souls, and for their families.
To: 2Jedismom
I was browsing the live thread just clicking to "last" so I didn't read everything.
I was watching FOTR and freeping when I found out.
:(
