Hey bro,

Nothing like a little Latin to get the juices flowing,

know what I mean?

Yes, those translations are both literal. "Use your

own (property) such that you do no harm to others." is

the first. The second here is "Who owns the land owns

up to the sky and down to hell."

Rock on!

Hope all's well,

Len
