Vanity Plate for the Day – LA XPAT
LA XPAT
This was on the back of a black Cadillac, one of the big ones. Normally you think of an xpat as some living outside of a country they are disenchanted with. Somehow I had the feeling this person was longing for Los Angles over St. Louis.

Quote for the Day – Voltaire
“You are right,” said Pangloss, “for when man was first placed in the Garden of Eden, he was put there ut operaretur eum, that he might cultivate it; which shows that man was not born to be idle.” “Let us work,” said Martin, “without disputing; it is the only way to render life tolerable.” ~~ Candide, Chapter XXX, by Voltaire

Voltaire on Opera
For my friend Vincenzo, an opera lover
“This noise,” said the Senator, “may amuse one for half an hour; but if it were to last longer it would grow tiresome to everybody, though they durst not own it. Music, to-day, is only the art of executing difficult things, and that which is only difficult cannot please long. Perhaps I should be fonder of the opera if they had not found the secret of making of it a monster which shocks me. Let who will go to see bad tragedies set to music, where the scenes are contrived for no other end than to introduce two or three songs ridiculously out of place, to show off an actress’s voice. Let who will, or who can, die away with pleasure at the sight of an eunuch quavering the rôle of Cæsar, or of Cato, and strutting awkwardly upon the stage. For my part I have long since renounced those paltry entertainments which constitute the glory of modern Italy, and are purchased so dearly by sovereigns.” ~~ Senator Pococurante in Candide, Chapter XXV by Voltaire
Quote for the Day – Muhammad Ali
“The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.” ~~ Muhammad Ali
