It is frosty outside this morning. When I took Lilly & Carla out this morning. The ground was white with frost in the areas where the sun had not hit. It was beautify.
There hasn't really been alot to comment on today. Mom dropped by for a short visit to return an item that Sean left at their house. Other than that not much at all. I did get both the upstairs and downstairs vaccumed without Lilly going crazy. I put a new stick in Tweat's cage, I'm wondering if she start peeling the bark on this one too.
Sean came across this new photo of Faith standing in her crib. She is growing so much. I'm pleased that he shared this with me.
Dean has class tonight - he'll be turning in his mid-term exam which he has already taken and scored an 88, but there are a couple of question that were wrong according to the test-but they were right according to the book. So I guess they will get this all straightened out during class tonight.
Walt says he'll be dropping by after his class tonight to visit, and get me to drill a couple of holes into his belt. He is dropping weight and his new belt is getting much too large.

Charlotte, North Carolina. A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.
The lawyer sued.. and WON! (Stay with me.)
Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company, which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire" and was obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars lost in the "fires".
NOW FOR THE BEST PART..
After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!
With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.
This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
