When you find that people are not telling you the truth – look out!
–Agatha Christie
I came across that quote the other day and it reminded me of Lincoln’s,
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
And of gambler Bret Maverick’s take on that quote,
My pappy says those are pretty good odds.
I laughed when I heard that joke, but it’s not so funny nowadays.
On a more cheerful note, mountain goats are taking advantage of the lock down of a Welsh town to browse on the vegetation. Apparently they have lifted the spirits of some of the shut-in inhabitants.

I agree—pictures of the goats are uplifting!
😀
I love wildlife! and those great horned sheep are beautiful.
and I dearly loved James Garner as Bret Maverick.
there’s a statue of him dressed as Maverick in our town.
it was his hometown. we loved him!
and that was totally off the subject. lol. 😀 xoxo
No, that was not off the subject. It was a great comment!
yep, even this far away the “goats moving into town” is being said, but this is the first picture…and the picture says a lot.
Yes, the pictures are friendly and heartwarming.
Those goats are just too cute!
Yes! 🙂
Yep, the goats are a winnner.

the goats sure lifted my spirits and if could LOOK OUT and see them I would be dancing with joy…. there are some people who can be fooled all of the time and some who can not be fooled at all.. my take on it. and it seems to me when I was younger back in the day, I could belive almost everyone I talked to and now I can’t believe most of the people… see what you did by posting this?
It’s good to try to get reliable information and think for ourselves. That has been invaluable for Andy and me when it comes to health matters. In the case of this virus, they’re still learning a lot so their ideas about what to do are changing as they learn more. The U.S. messed up by not being prepared even though they knew something like this was going to happen sooner or later. Hopefully we’ll be more prepared next time.
There’s been much coverage of the mountain goats in Llandudno. They’ve been eating flowers and hedges apparently.
When you find that people are not telling you the truth – keep well away from them.
