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.

FEAR! FIRES! FOES! AWAKE!

There is a cat stuck up in one of my trees!

I don't know who's cat it is. I heard him crying yesterday, but when he stopped, I figured I had imagined it or it was farawy children.

Tonight he is crying with intensity.

I have a tree guy calling his climbers to see if one can come out tonight!

Pray for a man with spikey boots who wants an adventure on a Saturday night!

Poor kitty!

When my sister's cat was a kitten, she got stuck in the tree. So they (it was when she was away at school) called the rescue/fire people: "Lady, that happens only in the movies!" So they paid a tree guy $50 to get her down.

put out an open can of tuna at the base of the tree...my cats come running when I do that.

open the can under the tree that's its in. if its wild, it might not know the sound, but the scent will attract it.

betcha the cat comes down on it's own right quick.

Looks like I'm caught up. Seems hobbitses are less chatsey when there's a war going on...

Did some yard work today. Moved more leaves. Planted a photinium (sp?) and forsythia (also sp?).

Going to the Richmond Rally for America tomorrow.

SC & OT: glad you had successful freeps, we didn't have one in KC, which surprised us. Nearest was Jeff City. Heard about the big one in Chicago on the radio, the numbers of Pro-Troops kept growing till one reporter said about 4,000. Pretty darn impressive imho.

Hair: wasn't it Jeff Foxworthy that did the routine about cats up in a tree, how they must get down on their own.. hey, just kidding. ;-)

RE: Mid-Atlantic Moot

I have been in communication with a certain smelly dwarf. He suggests (and I concur) the following schedule for a weekend in early-mid April.

Friday nite: Drunk Dwarf-Moot, come at yer own risk

Saturday: Mid-Atlantic Moot, details to come.

Freepmail me if yer in this vicinity (Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Miami...;-D) and let me know if you are interested.

Wish I could get to a moot...

Oh well, I just ordered $50 worth of books off Amazon (I still had $20 gift certificate from Christmas and, dang it, I wanted those books!) So I get a nice little package this week, and another in May with some soon to be published science fiction.
