Tides no, but they do have a current

MCRmyGirl4eva has just left Hobbiton.
About the Elves that Frodo, Sam, and Pippin met in the Shire; I've been wondering but never thought to ask because it seemed trivial. Would the little fort that they stayed at overnight count as a dwelling, or more of an outpost? It just seems to me that the Elves have so few places to claim as homes, and I want to count it as a small colony or such but they were only passing through.

It was probably only a place the Elves simply knew of and liked to use as a camping spot, being relatively secluded. No doubt they had other similar spots in the Shire too.

That, and a Starbucks was close-by. It is a little known fact that Maedhros first mixed a caramel latte macchiato. One-handed yet!

The Hobbits claim they invented Starbucks. It was old Barista Caffeinebottom down in the Marish who grew the first coffee beans. How he came by the plant he never said....

And...6000 posts! Milestone!

Congrats, Inzil! And to think, your 6000th post was one of great import and profundity. I am in awe.

Indeed!

But congrats, Zil! 6K is quite a number! (Voice in head whispers: like the Riders of Rohan to Minas Tirith!)
