"I cannot read the fiery letters," said Frodo in a quavering voice. "No," Said Gandalf, "but I can. The letters are Elvish, of course, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. They are lines of a verse long known in Elven-lore: "This Ring, no other, is made by the elves, Who'd pawn their own mother to grab it themselves. Ruler of creeper, mortal, and scallop, This is a sleeper that packs quite a wallop. The Power almighty rests in this Lone Ring. The Power, alrighty, for doing your Own Thing. If broken or busted, it cannot be remade. If found, send to Sorhed (with postage prepaid)."

Gallery of photos from the last few days, on a theme that I’ve been working on much longer.

Spring in Minnesota

As of Friday, the lake at work has clearly started to melt; we’re at that weird stage where there’s a layer of water on top of a solid sheet of ice. The snow cover has retreated from much of the lawn (and I expect is pretty much gone now; it’s been a warm weekend).

Of course, we could still have more snowfall.
