Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Well, "Invasion" is more mysterious than "Threshold"... haven't watched "Surface" yet, so I can't compare all three of the alien-invasion-shows yet.

Someday when I'm rich, maybe we can get cable and actually watch some of these shows like normal people.
Maybe.
I've never had cable before.

Good Iraq News alert at the following Free Republic Threads. Please ping.
In Offensive, Iraqi Forces Show Signs Of Progress
Presentation at the Fourth Rail [interesting analysis]
Put titles in Free Republic search engine and they should pull threads up. Cannot post links due to an "upgrade" in MSN software.

Washington POST of all people wrote a story showing how the Iraqi forces are showing progress in the latest offensives. Blemont.com has an intresting article explaing what is currently going on in Iraq and what to watch for. We are winning. Always like to point out the good to counteract the relentless "bad" news drum beat of the Dinasour Media. This fairly unpolitical a thread but thought the support the troops people might like to hear some positives.

Thanks for that. We do fortunately get to hear some of the good news here, especially from recipients of our knife project. But all good news is appreciated. :-)

Yeah. Dark chocolate, too. Now that's what I call health food.

Big'ol ran "Surface" last night. I had my nose in a book - one of the Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb's "In Death" series - and didn't pay much attention.
I did look up long enough to note that the "Science Babe" character is brunette with curly hair. And I approve of that. :)

Good morning all!
Hey, OT...I went and got gas on the way to Walmart last night and told Steve to fill up on the way to see Star Wars with Matthew (so he could get some candy to sneak in at the same time, you know.) We both paid $2.49 for it.
Steve said it was $2.59 when he came home from the movie.

get some cash in case the atm/ electronic transfer system goes down.I cannot stress this enough. This was a HUGH problem in MS after Katrina, and not just on the Gulf Coast. The storm knocked out power as she moved north, even in Jackson, 4 hours inland!! No power, no ATMs. Also, no power or phones, no credit card transactions, so the need for cash is that much greater. Folks were looking for generators, but couldn't get one without cash because the stores couldn't do credit card transactions. Then, they went to the ATMs and they were down because there was no power!
SirKit's sister handles 'Business Continuity' for a large MS bank, and by Wed., she was able to get some generators to Hattiesburg and the Coast to power up the ATMs that were still operable, so folks could at least access their accounts.
Filling the car with gas, and maybe getting some extra in a can is something that's important, too. If the power goes out, the gas pumps don't run. Folks need gas for their cars, true, but they also need it for their generators! Having a generator doesn't help if you don't have the gas to run it. There were gas trucks that were getting hijacked on their way into MS after Katrina.
