It is a time of Maximal Moonbattery. An Apogee of Asininity. A Zenith of “Zoink!”A Pinnacle of “Poink!” Not because of any alignments (for there aren’t any) but because it is a time of…
Venus Retrograde
Jupiter Retrograde
Saturn Retrograde
MERCURY RETROGRADE!
This particular configuration has revealed something to me, a new piece of understanding that has eluded me until now — Capricorn is the ruling sign of Florida. Which of course, since it’s playing host to Jupiter retrograde (one among many) also means that this is the Week of Florida Man. Expect a hurricane on July 1.
Other than that (how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?) things are much the same as last week, though the moon is in Gemini which is a double extra helping of liars. Shit be fucked, yo.
Don’t believe me? Just look at the cards drawn this week.
Gemini: 5 of Wands reversed – Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.
Cancer: Knight of Swords reversed- Imprudence, incapacity, extravagance.
Leo: 3 of Swords – Removal, absence, delay, division, rupture, dispersion
Virgo: Strength reversed – Despotism, abuse of power, weakness, discord, disgrace.
Libra: 10 of Wands – Oppression, fortune, gain, any kind of success, false-seeming, disguise, perfidy
Scorpio: King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril
Sagittarius: 3 of Coins – Métier, trade, skilled labor, nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory
Capricorn: Knight of Wands – Departure, absence, flight, emigration, change of residence
Aquarius: 6 of Cups reversed – The future, renewal, that which will come to pass presently. Honestly, this is such a stupid reading that I’ll go ahead and correct it to the Glib reading: Waste, a rising investment that fall, dispersal, a gift that fails to impress.
Pisces: The Magician – Skill, diplomacy, address, subtlety, sickness, pain, loss, disaster, snares of enemies, self-confidence, will
Aries: Ace of Cups reversed – House of the false heart, mutation, instability, revolution.
Taurus: 6 of Coins reversed – Desire, cupidity, envy, jealousy, illusion.
Oh, the usual.
I think I’ll just go back to bed and hide under the covers until it’s safe to come out.
It WILL be safe some day, won’t it?
With my Aries draw (false heart, instability, revolution, combines with spouse’s Capricorn departure, flight, it sounds like a fight followed by kicking the Mr to the curb.
So you’re saying I may have a chance ?
A libertarian woman, she’s going to have her pick. That said the odds may be good, but goods are odd.
That’s what we said in Engineering school too.
I was one of 5 women in a graduating class of 150 EEs.
Nope.
‘Splosives, you’re a catch and you should be focusing on your own needs.
I’m fine. Just meant as a joke.
Sagittarius: 3 of Coins – Métier, trade, skilled labor, nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory
I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
I’m pretty sure that’s the best forecast Sagittarius has received all year.
Yeah we get shitty ones all the other times but ill take this one
I have no idea what this means.
“Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril”
Whew! Just another day ending in Y
*relaxes*
“Extravagance” = bone in ribeyes.
Steak prices are still too damn high!

Yummy.
Tom T. splurged on a couple of thick boneless ribeyes from Sam’s and grilled ’em last night. Amazing, but yeah – too damn pricey!
Nice looking steaks. Needs more Harvest Gold, though. 🙂
Going to the butcher here shortly, to stock up for the next couple of weeks. Gonna get a nice pork roast for Sunday dinner. Also making funeral potatoes, and a chocolate cherry cake.
Hitting up Total Wine to stock up on bourbon and wine.
I need to get one of those serving platters for the bigger steaks.
Expect a hurricane on July 1.
Hedging your bets?
Leo: 3 of Swords – Removal, absence, delay, division, rupture, dispersion
Same old same old
Cancer: Knight of Swords reversed- Imprudence, incapacity, extravagance. – wanting electricity is not extravagance
Fascist! You’ll get no electricity for an indefinite duration of time, and like it! Who do you think you are, an overlord?
/BLM-SJW supporter-LARPer
Of course it is. The first electric power plants were built in1882. How many people throughout history didn’t have such extravagance?
Fun fact: the Vattenfall hydroelectric plant in Sweden is one of the oldest generators still in use.
I got to tour it. They didn’t point it out, but I took a good look at the brass “brushes”. Each one is engraved with a swastika.
So those are white supremacist electrons, brah. Get woke.
That’s your white privilege talking. There are children in Detroit living in food deserts right now.
We lost ours for about 7 hours yesterday. No idea why.
Gemini: 5 of Wands reversed – Litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.

Ooooo boy! That’s a list.
I’m very sorry to anyone who tried to join the Zoom after I passed out. I awakened at 4am and was the only one logged in so I shut it down. About to start a prime rib. We have a freezer full of them and I WILL cook and eat every last one of them before I move out.
Thanks for setting it up last night. I wasn’t on for long, but it was good.
mmm… .prime rib. A local brewpub in the normal, pre-Lil Rona days, had a weekly prime rib special. 18 oz of prime rib, two sides, and one beer for $20. I was there just about every week for that special. Mmm….
No worries man. There’s a reason I usually hand off control to someone else. That way it’s Tres‘s fault. 🙂
NP, l0b0t. We had fun laughing at you snoring. Also, thx for setting it up.
I wanted to join in last night, but I passed out early too.
I hope you didn’t get a sleep boner on the internet.
Can’t remember much after a point. I hope I bid an Irish goodbye.
Stay away from stupid people, stupid places, and stupid situations.

This is always solid advice. ⬆
That place is going to attract lunatics like garbage attracts flies. It’d be the perfect place to go if you wanted to engage in hedonistic mayhem with very little chance of suffering any legal consequences.
Mos Eisley?
@commodious spitoon — You made my day yesterday. Thank you. ?
?
TFW you think another (much better selling) (once rival and enemy) author has lifted one of your characters nearly wholesale, but not enough to accuse her of anything. ???
Does anybody have any truly original characters?
CPRM does
When she writes a reclusive artist/financier named Sebastian, it goes a little beyond archetypes and tropes.
(once again rival and enemy)
Sorry to hear.
Thanks. She tells cute little tales and I needed a fluffy read.
That really sucks. Sorry, Mojo.
Two awful feelings: being unjustly accused oneself, and having a crime or offense committed against oneself with no recourse or chance of justice.
I figure, if I’m wrong, Unnamed Author doesn’t know I think she lifted it and no one else knows whom I am accusing.
If I’m right, then there is a part of me that is flattered, but mostly I’m just pissed. It’s not like it’s fanfiction, which is none of my business.
Just started a fire in the grill. Even though I don’t have anyone to share all the food with I’m going to make the most while I got the grill going. So first up are going to be some hotdogs and sausage burgers (the leftovers will taste better for having been grilled) for lunch. then I’m going to smoke a chicken and a small pork roast with apple wood for dinner.
Doing a pork tenderloin for dinner tonight with a wild mushroom gravy. Might smoke it, but we will see since they are so lean.
Later this week Ill be doing a couple racks of ribs.
If you’re going to smoke it, wrap in a bacon lattice. You can also stuff them with dried apples as well, the apples get rehydrated with pork juices.
The predicted thunderstorms didn’t come today, but the heat did. Over 90 degrees outside.
Oh well, I need to use my classes each month anyways.
It was 87 at 8 o’clock Tee Time, it’s now 104, headed to 110, but it’s a dry heat……………………
At ~40% humidity right now, and we drop back down into the 70’s for the next week.
90 and 40% is yucky, I would hide,
89 and 51% here at the moment. I’m avoiding the outdoors.
I’m inside in the A/C sipping a beer right now. Got a steak sitting in a sous vide bath for dinner now.
89 and 42% here (at least, a 63 degree dew point).
I took my walk at 9AM. Everybody else decided to get out early, too.
Lunch was good, now the pork is smoking, chicken will go in later. Time to ride around on my lawn mower.
*pictures CPRM riding around the neighborhood with a beer in hand*
As long as he doesn’t run over someone’s dog.

I don’t know how accurate this is but it sounds about right. Basically, if you are white and not actively considering your white privilege in every single circumstance, then you are discriminating against POC.
So should I feel guilty that I have Florida Cracker and Florida Man beer in my fridge right now?
Blow me. I’ve never mistreated a person because of race in my life. They can just fuck off. My silence is me not caring about their race baiting bullshit.
I just learned that Mrs F, an Asian, is racist ’cause she married me. Fortunately she is woke and with my help we’ll drive this systemic racism out of her with liberal helpings of chicken, pork and rice.
Now I know how Dave Chappele, as a KKK member, feels about black people.
So are you racist for marrying her?
He has to pump the racism out regularly or it builds up.
What you did there, I see it.
Sounds like his marriage is a hate crime.
Wait, she’s the racist!
It is an accurate description of the Maoist gang that has rapidly taken control of most American institutions. You will notice you can’t win without submitting total control to them.
The only winning move is not to play?
Starting place? So close and yet totally misses it.
“Imprudence, incapacity, extravagance.”
Extragant imprudence? That sounds normal.
Ahh, shit.
Huh, looks like the Polish festival is still on for this year.
https://m.facebook.com/polishamericanfestival
Kielbasa….mmm…
The Feast of the Assumption in Little Italy has been cancelled in Cleveland for the first time in over 120 years. So far, it looks like the only summer event is going to be the St. Patrick’s Easter De Mayo July party scheduled for August 1st.
Red eye gravy isn’t found around here, but it’s quite good in the right balance and coffee. Country ham is totally absent. The little Korean Berkshire sausages work quite well as a substitute.
Trying to decide what to do today. Think I’ll make another batch of strawberry freezer jam and cut some more blackberry vines. Maybe put off spraying for weeds, cleaning off the roof, and changing the oil til next weekend.
Where is ‘around here’?
PNW.
SQUATCH ZONE!
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Flag_of_Cascadia.svg/2560px-Flag_of_Cascadia.svg.png
I’ve seen those flying on people’s houses.
No country ham? What the hell?
‘Tis true. On the other hand, have fresh salmon and soon walla walla sweets will be in season.
We ducked into the local Moose lodge for Father’s Day breakfast. It was country fried steak, but it was the gross kind I haven’t had since 4th grade.
Still, it was good to see people socializing. The local Moose tilts red in politics, but a good sprinkling of independents too. The independents are almost all ex military and at some point asked themselves why the US is engaged in this conflict or that.
Normalcy is on the horizon…
I like Chili’s country fried steak. It’s not soectacular, but it’s dependable and I can’t find it anywhere else around here.
The best country fried steak I ever had was breaded with Frosted Flakes. Sounds gross, but it was good.
I could see that working with corn flakes, but frosted…?
Sugar probably caramelizes during cooking?
I don’t remember there being gravy. It DID work, but it was very rich.
Huddle house. Cracker Barrel. Good but distant seconds to mine. If you can get a good crunchy crust then they key is the gravy.
*ahem*
In light of recent events, they’re changing the name to Caucasian Barrel.
Ohio cop stalks woman
A Rossford, Ohio armed government worker named Glenn Goss, Jr. has lost his taxpayer-financed job after using his taxpayer-financed vehicle and computer to cyber stalk a woman he thought might be impressed by his powers – or intimidated enough by the implied threat to agree to a “date.”
The woman, Emily Hacker, found herself being tailed by a black vehicle as she left Planet Fitness, where she had been working out. A few hours later, she received a creepy text from the AGW: “Had fun racing you on Crossroads and 795 earlier.”
BLACK VEHICLES MATTER
Georgia cop tells citizen to “suck my dick”. Cop is later fired.
Here’s a delightful video of a Georgia armed government worker telling a “citizen” to “suck my dick.” The AGW was demanding ID of a man sitting on the porch of what appears to be his home or the home of his friend; in any event, the man hadn’t committed a crime when the order to fellate was issued.
