It’s 2016! Or so I’m told. What will the year have in store for us? Come December, will we have experienced something completely unpredictable? (Some of us certainly will.) All of that, of course, has already been determined by the laws of physics. We secular Jews just hope we get through the year alive and unscathed. On this day in history, Paul Revere was born in 1735 and Betsy Ross, who purportedly sewed the first American flag at the behest of George Washington, was born in 1752. (That story is almost certainly wrong). A lot of laws, decrees, and so on took effect on this day in history, but that’s only because it’s the first day of the year, so we’ll ignore them. Instead, let’s go to Dobrzyn, where Ms. Hili is about to enter the orchard:
Hili: Freedom is an art.
A: What do you mean?
Hili: At the moment, squeezing through the bars
Hili: Wolność jest sztuką.
Ja: Co masz na myśli?
Hili: Chwilowo przeciskanie
And in Wroclawek, Leon has donned a collar and leopard-print bow tie to send us New Year’s greetings (see below the photo for linguistic twist):
Leon: To all my fans I wish a Feline Year!
Hili is looking a bit wider than last year. I’m wondering now if she should have made a resolution after all.
And a preposterous New Year to Leon!
Look, what are the idols that the secular Jews showing us:
Female: big, round and rural. Male: Tiny, thin and .. Shabby
BUT, they are CUTE! :)))
Leon–SHABBY? Surely you mean “tabby.”
Shabby means shabby. 🙂 But I kind of fall for Hilly’s large round face, curvy lines and snow feet. :)) Image a comedy or Broadway show with wife tall & big, husband short & thin … :))) I must say secular Jews are very creative though they may or may not intend to be that way. My new year resolution: watch Fiddler on the Roof, oh I’m curious.
Leon looks feline indeed!
Oh, and I’m sure I forgot to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
Leon is one sharp dresser. And Freedom is simply the distance between the hunter and the hunted.
Happy New Year to Professor Ceiling Cat (Emeritus), to Hili and Cyrus and Leon and their hard-working staffs, and to all you commenters here who make me think.
Looks like Leon was the life of the party. 😉
