Thanks to Ovation TV I have seen Lonesome Dove (film) more times than I can count. The sign for the Hat Creek Cattle Company had the Latin phrase uva uvam vivendo varia fit printed upon it. At the end of the saga Capt. Woodrow Call brings the body of his longtime friend and comrade Capt. Augustus McCrae all the way back to Texas from Montana for burial. He uses the battered sign to construct a cross to mark Guss final resting place and this phrase remains intact on the cross. So, what does it mean? Well, spelling aside, it means a grape changes color [ripens] when it sees [another] grape.
