All the action is clustered in the middle of the week.
On Monday, Lily turns five months old.
On Tuesday, prepare for either novelty or something unpleasantly destructive happening at home as Saturn retrograde join with the moon in pulling things around in your domestic life.
Wednesday we get news of an official fuckup so large it made it into the stars, since Mercury (having gone direct) and Jupiter retrograde are lined up on the same side of the Sun.
Thursday closes out the month with Tuesday’s Earth-Moon pairing shifting from Saturn retrograde to Jupiter retrograde. It’s possible that this means the government is going to screw with your home life (more than normal I mean) but typically “Jupiter retrograde” in this context refers to whoever’s really in charge at home (you, your partner, your cat) screwing up bigly.
Um/Yang. The dual nature of Dog.
The sun is in Cancer, so wear your skin protectant! Unfortunately for our crabby friends, while they do have Venus helping out with their love life, Mercury is still back in Gemini, rewarding those people who use deception to get ahead. As anyone who’s studied thermodynamic knows, you need a gradient of some sort to do work, and this week we’ve got a big one to tap into. Mars is in Leo — both fire signs. And on the opposite side of the sky, the moon is wetting things up in Aquarius.
Cancer: 6 of Cups – this card shows a wealthy man dispensing alms to a beggar with his right hand. With his left though, he holds a scales over a “beggar” with something already in his pocket. Be charitable, but watch for those taking advantage.
Leo: Page of Coins – Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, messages and the bringer thereof; also rule, management.
Virgo: The Lovers – Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome.
Libra: Knight of Swords – Skill, bravery, capacity, defense, address, enmity, wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin
Scorpio: 10 of Cups reversed – Repose of the false heart, indignation, violence, ransom
Sagittarius: 7 of Coins – Money, business, barter, altercation, quarrels, innocence, ingenuity, purgation
Capricorn: King of Swords – Judgment, power, command, authority, militant intelligence, law
Aquarius: 2 of Wands – Riches, fortune, magnificence, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification.
Pisces: The Star reversed – Arrogance, haughtiness, impotence.
Aries: The Magician – Skill, diplomacy, address, subtlety, sickness, pain, loss, disaster, snares of enemies, self-confidence, will
Taurus: Ace of Coins – Perfect contentment, felicity, ecstasy, speedy intelligence, gold
Gemini: Strength reversed – This is the easiest, most direct card to read. The only wrinkle about it begin reversed is to decide whether it means your own strength is going to be diminished, or another’s strength is going to be used against you.
A successful trip to the dog park
Sagittarius: 7 of Coins – Money, business, barter, altercation, quarrels, innocence, ingenuity, purgation
I’m going on a date?
Only if Winston’s Mom is available.
Thursday closes out the month?
Thursday is 1 July.
It’s 31 June, too.
She’s so happy!
Nice Shepherd, too.
The owner has a bogus “Service Dog” harness on it.
Well, I did just get a federal jury summons.
Ewwwww
Don’t bother me none. I get paid full pop. Last time i helped a guy avoid a bogus misdo child molest ( INORITE?) conviction. Maybe I can help right another wrong.
The fact that the state doesn’t pay minimum wage for jury duty is wicked.
In George Gascon’s LA Court you will be sitting on a case of wrongthink with an enhancement for failing to gender affirm.
Lily taking down the filthy krauts! Love it.
Gemini: Strength reversed – This is the easiest, most direct card to read. The only wrinkle about it begin reversed is to decide whether it means your own strength is going to be diminished, or another’s strength is going to be used against you.
My money is on both.
You let her in your car that dirty?
She has a wonderfully dirt-repellent coat. After that dries, it just falls out. So a ten minute walk and a quick brush and she’s clean again.
Quick reminder if anyone in VA is looking for something to do on the 4th.
One of my buddies is skydiving in to open the Fredericksburg Nats minor league game – sponsored by gourmeltz.
At this point, I’m probably just gonna get a cheap ticket for the intro and then head back over to Gourmeltz before it gets too hot, etc to chill for a while. Nothing in stone yet though.
Nice pictures.
Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, messages and the bringer thereof; also rule, management.
Huh. Well, I expected work would suck this week.
MotoGP from Assen on NBC.
That negates progress for another hour or so.
New openings with Asterix and pals Sugarfree?

Wednesday is forecast to be the hottest day we’ve seen in Edmonton for a very long time — 41° C, or approx. 106° F. Thank God the A/C’s workin’ for its living. I am a bit worried about some of the more elderly people in our HOA; one woman just celebrated her 99th birthday, and she doesn’t have A/C. And of course, people are somewhat leery about accepting invitations from others to come over and cool off, what with our government making us fear that everybody’s got the ‘Vid.
:-/
Blech. We are slated for 110* today, the hottest in a while. My wife and I do not have central AC as 99% of the time it is totally unnecessary here, so just a couple portables. They are gonna be straining under the load today.
Sorry about the gov’t mandated fear. It does tend to fuck things up a bit.
It’s a ‘I wanna be a kid for a day’ type of Sunday. The Robin Hood cartoon and possible the Sword in the Stone is on deck to satisfy this urge.
Death to Tyrants!
RIP Roger Miller

Roosters song is way better than toss a clown to your witcher any day of the week or years.
OT…
Just in time for the return of cold-weather lockdowns!
Oh, and Cruz can stuff his two-tier society where the sun don’t shine.
Biden has this power? Huh, who knew?
I have no idea what the Cruz thing is.
I’m guessing he wants the vaccinated to go maskless, but not the rest?

But Indian….er Delta variation! Yeah it should have been all people
Oh, and Cruz can stuff his two-tier society where the sun don’t shine.
Ya, that was a bit of a let down. I thought he was one of the liberty minded ones. Fuck that noise.
This order made it a federal offense for me to not wear a mask at work until at least Sept. 13th.
I’m sorry you’re such a scofflaw.
I immediately confessed to an airport cop on the first day. He just laughed.
The President being able to make laws is proof the US Government is illegitimate. That power was never intended.
The beauty of the bureaucracy…he didnt make a law he just directed regulation to agencies under the Executive. All bullshit nonetheless.
Ya, that thought crossed my mind after I posted that. You poor bastards work for the asshole so I guess he dictates the dress code.
I only work for him until May 15th or so. Why do I still have to wear one.
You’re working for Uncle Sugar until Dec 31. Just consider the rest of it as an advance on a loan.
The best spin is that it’s a matter of face saving and passengers won’t be asked about their vaccination status. But the employees will suffer regardless.
Both the ATC union and our union have said pound sand. I havent worn a mask inside a federal facility for three weeks now.
Good for you and your union.
Sorry Suthen and OBJ for getting fucked over by your commie governor.

Fuck that twiddling cocksucker. We have a veto-proof vote and 85% approval in the population. It’s gonna pass despite that commie shitbird.
Ooh, VAR changes a yellow to a straight red.
Oh, and Cruz can stuff his two-tier society where the sun don’t shine.
Vaccine passports, coming up.
The air is so thick with snifflecooties germs I can hardly move around. Where’s my government mandated biohazard suit?
My HOA is going to do funeral pyre Fridays starting next week.
“Bring out yer dead!”
Virgo: The Lovers – Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome.
I am a lonely guy, so there’s that.
That card is one of the ones that changed fairly significantly in the Waite-Coleman-Rider version.
Originally it was “The Lover,” singular and had a (clothed) dude on one side and his would-be honey and her Pa on the other. I was much more about having to earn/achieve/win something and less about the rump-pumpy than the current version.
OK, but I’m still getting laid, right?
Does masturbation count?
Rosy is an old friend, I’m sure you know her well Ted,
Rosie, you’re all right. You wear my ring.
When you hold me tight, Rosie that’s my thing!
Whole lotta Woman!
a (clothed) dude on one side and his would-be honey and her Pa on the other.
No shotgun?
Given the origins of these silly cards, I would’ve expected a crossbow. Okay, as a nod to modernity, perhaps crew-served.
“perhaps crew-served.” thems some Big ass Bolts,
It’s gonna be a warm one again in sunny SoCal! Probably take a dip in the pool after lunch.
Then I gotta do some work I postponed…
must be nice, we got 72 and 96% humidity, not bad but very swampy,
Enjoy!
96% ?!? Oy Vey.
You have my sympathy.
The wind off the Big lake makes it feel alright, just kind of soupy, a new expereince for me,
Yeah; Dad went grocery shopping early this morning and I didn’t want to take the dog out while Dad was out, wanting to be able to help with the groceries when Dad got home. By the time Dad got back, it was too hot to take the dog for a walk.
“Skill, bravery, capacity, defense, address, enmity, wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin”
in my pants!
I have been practicing low ceiling shots, tree branches and stuff, this means throwing on one knee, awkward and difficult. Today it paid off in the form of a 55 foot Birdie put on the longest hole, we were all amazed, it looked so cool. I’m having lunch then headed out for more,
Carpe Discum!
At the steel match today, everyone got smoked by a 12 year old with a 10/22.
LoL! I bet that kid will never forget it!
Honestly, the old dudes were mostly just jealous we didn’t get to start playing the game at his age.
Youth, can’t fight it, my Club is full of young guys that kick my ass now that I taught them how to play, not throw, but the Game,
State Chanpionships here we come!
My kitty is outside wearing his protective vest.
He thinks he’s a badass.
https://i.imgur.com/CMjOLF1.jpg
Poor kitty needs a cone around his neck too.
I guess since they don’t sweat, the jacket doesn’t make them much more prone to overheating?
I think the black fur is what gets hottest. Even then, when I burrow my fingers to the skin, it’s cool.
If he starts panting I will know he’s too hot.
What on earth…? Is that really a thing down there for pets?! I think I’d rather just stay indoors than wear that thing.
Coyotes are brutal on pets. And not only do they take your beloved pets, they bay about it in groups, sounding like laughing hyenas.
I hate the yotes.
How is he to walk? I want to take Sophie out, I think she would love walking,
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ULuv7zeRdiw5K94J9
Lily? Walks fine unless she has a goal, in which case she starts pulling. We have lots of leash time, since the fence isn’t finished yet.
If you mean my kitteh, he doesn’t walk like a dog walks, following the human’s lead.
He just wanders and stops and goes as he likes. He does happen to like walking paved paths, so for the most part he stays on sidewalks.
There is a couple living nearby who have a hairless cat that they “walk” and even bring to restaurants in this thing:
