    I think it was sweet of the other kitties not to tell Baby Ollie to shaddup!

    This was sounding like the TV show The Waltons until they started wishing goodnight to the ducks & trees & birds, etc.

    Today is:

    National Sangria Day

    National Mudd Day. Seeing that it’s only these 2 things, I thought I’d get some information on National Mudd Day. Here’s what I found:

    “Mudd Day on December 20th annually recognizes the birthday of Dr. Samuel Mudd, a man whose name was mud after his dealings with one man.

    After assassinating Lincoln on April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth rode with co-conspirator David Herold to Dr. Samuel Mudd’s home in the early hours of the 15th before crossing into Virginia. Mudd performed surgery on Booth’s fractured leg and allowed both men to stay the night. At some point, Mudd must have learned of the assassination. However, he did not report Booth’s visit to the authorities for another 24 hours. This delay appeared to link him to the crime, as did his various changes of the story under interrogation. On April 26th, authorities arrested Mudd. A military commission found him guilty of aiding and conspiring in a murder and sentenced Mudd to life imprisonment. He escaped the death penalty by a single vote.

    President Andrew Johnson pardoned Mudd, and he was released from prison in 1869. Despite repeated attempts by family members and others, Mudd’s conviction has never been overturned, nor has his record been expunged.

    Dr. Mudd’s name has been dragged through the mud since his sentencing giving the term “your name is mud” a whole new meaning. However, the phrase existed long before Samuel Mudd and the events of 1865. And it meant exactly what it means today, too."

    Wow, Ollie kept it going until sunrise. He must have memorized the botanical dictionary and the animal encyclopedia. I wonder if he got down to bacteria and fungi?

    Mudd was the wrong doctor at the wrong place. “Should have heard” is a poor excuse to destroy a man.

    Oh-Liver . . . According to today’s Ripley’s a polar bear’s liver has so much vitamin A as to be poisonous in even small amounts.

    Goodnight Ducks sounded bad enough. Goodnight Moss clinched it. Oliver was goin’ for an all nighter/no sleeper. And yet, Lil Ollie is still beloved by all the cats and us readers too.

    Don’t worry, kitties, you can always sneak in some naps in the afternoon. On another note, saw a golden crowned kinglet while out walking today. I also saw a sparrow and a wren outside in my garden.
