TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE QUOTE: "The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish." HINT: (1828-1906), 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet. RANDOM TIDBITS Cheetahs, the fastest land mammals in the world, are built for speed. They can reach running speeds of up to 70 mph, and they can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in three seconds. Full-grown cheetahs are about 4 feet long, not including a 30-inch tail. They weigh about 75 to 145 pounds and are 2 to 3 feet tall at the shoulder. Their deep chests and enlarged hearts, lungs and nostrils help cheetahs take in more oxygen during intense chases. Their high-set eyes have a 210-degree field of view. Non-retractable claws help them gain traction when running on soft ground, and their tails help them balance as they make sharp, high-speed turns while chasing their prey.

Man Built a Sanctuary for Homeless Cats (a few too many!!!!) Craig Grant bought a tree farm far away from the city and turned it into a sanctuary for all the cats he has rescued. He lives there with the cats and provides lots of love, care and companionship. It’s hard to imagine that once he was not a cat lover and did not want cats until he met his son’s cat Pepper. He also got to experience what it is like raising a litter of kittens. “Over that time I learned that every cat had its own unique personality and it wasn’t long before the kittens were swinging from my curtains. I didn’t care. Something had changed… I didn’t want to give them up.” The condo life was not easy for the kitties, so Craig found a tree farm and settled down there for his fur babies. Over the next several months, he rescued more and more homeless and abandoned cats. The number of new residents kept going up, so Craig expanded the sanctuary to make more room for the animals. The farm was named Caboodle Ranch and ...
