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.

Good fires not black. Black is smoke from something people made.

I am not the person on the news right now talking about Luna the killer whale, btw...

OK... I need to axe the hobbit hole a question:

Should I get a Segway? Yes... it's geeky. But I'm a geek and I figure that makes it OK. What think?

Yes!

It's about 3 mi. Maybe 20 mins on a segway, vs 10 mins in the car (with traffic).

Exactly...

Funny thing is... the original design for the segway WAS a single wheel with the feet on either side. It turned out though that the two wheel design was far easier to control without much practice.

Just talked to my mom in Tacoma...she heard on the news that there was a fire at Ft. Lewis.

My response was: "Yeah, I guess!"
