Arsonist Husband; Cat Visitor; Baseball; Latin Mottos; Santa

Around 32 degrees and sunny.. but no wind.. so it doesn't feel too cold.

Some Nerve!

It is alleged that a Carroll County man set a number of fires in his house.  The position of the fires meant that his wife could not escape the flames and smoke.  She died.  He survived.  According to the newspaper, he called his insurance agent earlier in the day to make sure his Homeowner's Insurance policy was up-to-date.

Some Nerve!

Last night I put some stale cat food out to the flower pots on our side porch.  We thought that some animal might need the protein in this cold weather.  This afternoon I looked out to see a great big Maine Coon cat chowing down on this cat food.  He was very nonchalant about it.. he didn't even run away when he saw me.  I guess he thought that this was his personal restaurant.  I tried to get a picture of him by my cell phone camera, but I couldn't get it to work.  When I searched for and got my regular camera, the kitty had disappeared. He'll be back.

Some Nerve!

A little boy was talking to himself as he entered through his backyard, baseball cap in place and carrying a baseball and bat.  "I'm the greatest hitter in the world," he said proudly.

Then he tossed the ball in the air, swung and missed.  Undismayed, he picked up the ball, threw it into the air and said to himself, "I'm the greatest hitter ever."

As the ball descended, he swung at it again and missed.  He paused for a moment to examine the ball and bat carefully, then once again he threw the ball into the air and said, "I'm the greatest hitter."

As the ball came down, he gave another mighty swing and missed.  "Wow," he exclaimed, "What a pitcher!"

Mottos

Somebody sent me a list of possible Latin mottos to use, if  appropriate:

Vincit Veriitas  (Truth Conquers)

Fortis Est Veritas (Strong is the Truth)

Galatea Mea Viridis Est  (My helmet is green.)

Omnia Vincit Amor  (Love Subdues All Things)

Fortuna Juvat Audaces  (Fortune Favors the Brave)

Parea Non Servin  (I obey, but not as a slave)

Per Ardua Surgo  (I Rise through Difficulties)

Rex Porcus Largus Est  (The King is a fat Pig)



Nil Desperandum  (Never Despair)

Aut Vincam Aut Periam  (Either win or perish)

Patriae Inflici Fidelis  (Faithful to My Country)
