The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

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!

Somebody got into our cars last night. Steve emailed me and told me the keys to his city truck were missing and all the stuff from his glove box was pulled out and thrown around.

So I went out to check my car and found the same situation, glove box all over the floor and also Steve's city truck keys. Guess they tried them on both vehicles and since neither worked, they left them.

I don't think they got anything of any importance...I can't remember what all was in the glove box. I'm going to file a report anyway.

That's rotten!

It seems the idea of private property is not recognized much any more.

Yes, do report it even if nothing was taken, it was trespassing all the same.

What's oops?

You got 6200

I think it's what's called "snaiging the "precious"".

He'd better not be. He's a couple months younger than me, and I ain't ready to hit that number any sooner than I hafta.

EEK! You're right!

Poor fella. I guess I'm trying to age him for my own benefit. *wink*

Should we ask the AdminMod to pull the post? LOL!

Dang. I hate that. I'm sorry. No damage from entry?

Glad they left the keys, the city might have had a big hassle on their hands to re-key things if they hadn't.

I'm pretty shook up, kinda nauseated. Steve was really mad. But the good thing is, they didn't steal our cars and there wasn't anything in them to steal and since the doors were unlocked, they didn't bust out our windows.

Steve just kept saying "I can't believe it, because he was asleep on the couch (he sleeps on the couch when he wants to read in the night) and the couch is just on the other side of the wall from the cars.

You're right. Steve was really relieved about the keys...
