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.

Is he the one who writes historically based SF and straight history, an expert on the Byzantine Empire? Or am I confusing him with someone else? Good to see you again!

You were not an island. I was just trying to locate more reports from Baghdad. I think I need to go for a walk again now. And unwind.

Africa huh? Casablanca is there.

I just did a preliminary check on round-trip airfares from Seattle to Nairobi, and it's about $2000 per passenger.

It might be awhile till I get to go to Kenya! But I hope I get to go. I hope there are still lions.

If the pony had more sense, she'd nap in the shade, for the sake of her guardian, if not for herself!

You can see lyin' right on your TV -- just watch any mainline news coverage of the current controversy about the State of the Union address.

I want to see noble lions!

ecurbh wants to see them chase down and kill a water buffalo. I am not sure I could take the drama!

Every so often the water buffalo kills the lion, or even the tourist!

I will have to be going soon. Did anyone see the two part biography off Julius Caesar on cable early this month? The early scenes were dominated by a certain Lucius Cornelius Sulla, played in what was probably his last part by Richard Harris. First time I have ever seen Sulla portrayed in a movie or on TV. Harris did chew the scenery a bit, I think! "That young man (Caesar) has a good heart! Bring it to me." (to Pompey the Great).

Appropriately armed and with a great camera I hope!

Do not worry. I am not. I think walking is a good thing to do in companionship with praying. Somehow, the two work well hand-in-hand.
