Here for the cats, books, gardens, architecture, art, sports and news. It’s a good day if I’ve learned something I didn’t know before. “Behind the cloud, the sun is still shining.”

Toddler Rules of Possession

1 If I like it, it’s mine.
2 If it’s in my hand, it’s mine.
3 If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
4 If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
5 If it’s mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in any way.
6 If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7 If it looks like mine, it is mine.
8 If I saw it first, it’s mine.
9 If you are playing with something and put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10 If it’s broken, it’s yours.

Choose your Leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
Into slavery.
