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.

You can't axe people just for not giving you the job!

You can't?

But, if you axe them, then there IS another job opening..........

True.... the PR is a little tricky, but I imagine it can be smoothed out.

The back side of the eye will be the worst part of the storm...they hit hard and sudden.

My nephew lives in Corpus Christi.

Then he's on the "clean" side .. Houston is getting the "dirty" side of the storm. Looks like it's right between Houston and Corpus .. slightly closer to Corpus ..

They are both getting whipped by the dirty side (as proud_2_B puts it...an accurate description). The winds whipping toward Houston are the hardest.

Good morning all...

Storm is still well to the southeast of us here in Austin. Weatherweenies are predicting 2-3 inches of rain for us, starting this evening and lasting through the next day or so. Of course, these are the same people who said yesterday that we wouldn't get any rain at all from this storm, so who knows.

Best wishes to all those in the direct path of this storm.

Corin, good luck with your interview this afternoon!

Wait! This from our NO-ADVENTURE lady? You want to see a hurricane? You have to leave your 7 acres.

mstar is closer to Houston - actually north side we think.

MBY is north of Corpus. Just a bit.

That's my rain. You don't need it. I need it. You go outside and tell it just to hold on till it gets over Wichita county!!!
