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.

They've made a party out of this whole thing at the expense of Texas.

I assume they will try to make the taxpayer pay their expenses while on the lam. If I was a state beancounter, I'm sure I could find regulations that deny payment for non-business expenses. Hiding out in Oklahoma is not part of the job description, I'll bet.

I wonder if the GOP will have the nerve to stiff them on the expenses you know they'll want remimbursed. Maybe that's a way to keep the incident in front of the public, and beat the RATs over the head with it.

My poor pony.

I have wrinkled my brow and wondered the last couple weeks about why the pony would stomp her foot repeatedly while she was eating her grain in her stall. I thought she was just having an attitude issue and I was wondering where that was coming from!

Well, today when I was cleaning her stall I finally noticed that her stall was over-run with these little dinky ANTS! they had several trails around the stall, from her feed pan along the wall to the corner, and I noticed, a new little freeway leading to the corner she poops in. They started crawling up my leg when I stood in that corner! I bet she hasn't been able to lay down without them crawling all over her! I sprayed fly spray all over her stall, and heavy along the freeways, and tonight.... no ants, no stomping.

Ants are such a pain! They've been creating a little highway into our house over the last week. They even decided to join Clare in her room upstairs!

I bought some Ant Traps and put them out on Tuesday. Since Wed. I haven't seen ONE ant. Success!!

I am not sure why I didn't notice them before, except I am not looking for them when I clean stalls. They are these little dinky ants, not regular ant-hill ants.

But I should have looked into the stomping! - That was a new behavior, and they don't usually do stuff for no reason. Ants on her legs. phooey.

I'm sure your pony is grateful that you've wiped out the ants. Don't be too hard on yourself, Hair.

Frodo is in the jeep waiting for a dry day. Yesterday afternoon was nice, but I didn't have a camera- they're not allowed where I work. By the time I got home and got dinner on and such I was too tired to drive back to the spots I've picked out. So yeah, Frodo is dry and very bored.

I'm still shopping for things under $25. Classes are over, exams are over (or if there are any, it's maybe one or two), probably 80% of the students have already left, but we don't start summer projects like redoing the computer labs for a week or so.

It's pretty quiet.
