In many games, to do well, you need resources (like this tennis ball). Lily here will demonstrate how to capture resource nodes.
Two major things of note this week. First is the classic “lucky in love” alignment of Venus and Mercury with the sun. This is especially true for Leos. The second is that on the 15th (depending on time zone) there will be a brief period where the Earth-Moon dyad is resonating with Jupiter retrograde. This means that either something goes bonkers on a governmental level, or that news of an official cockup becomes widespread. Yeah, yeah, I know. But back in the pre-internet days, this would have been important information!
Step 1: Notice that another player/faction (Benson in this case) controls a valuable resource node (a tennis ball mine).
This week Cancer finally gets some of the benefits that its entitled to as Mercury crosses over today, joining Mercury and the Moon. Leo is doing very well for itself since it’s hosting the conjunction of Mars and Venus, giving a boost to confidence and (relatedly) romantic success. In this particular instance, the luck applies to both and any combination of genders
Step 2: Identify an undefended/weak point and attack!
Cancer: 6 of Coins reversed – Desire, cupidity, envy, jealousy, illusion.
Leo: The Empress reversed – Light, truth, the unravelling of involved matters, public rejoicings, vacillation.
Virgo: King of Wands – Dark man, friendly, countryman, generally married, honest and conscientious. Honesty, news concerning an unexpected heritage
Libra: 9 of Wands – Strength in opposition. If attacked, the person will meet an onslaught boldly, delay, suspension, adjournment
Scorpio: 6 of Cups reversed – The future, renewal, that which will come to pass presently.
Sagittarius: The High Priestess reversed – Passion, moral or physical ardor, conceit, surface knowledge.
Capricorn: The Hanged Man reversed – Selfishness, the crowd, body politic.
Aquarius: Knight of Wands – Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence
Pisces: 4 of Cups – Weariness, disgust, aversion, imaginary vexations, wine
Aries: Ace of Cups – House of the true heart, joy, content, abode, nourishment, abundance, fertility, Holy Table, felicity
Taurus: Knight of Cups – Arrival, approach, advances, proposition, demeanor, invitation, incitement.
Gemini: King of Swords – Power, command, authority, militant intelligence, law
Step 3: Enjoy your new mine!
Gemini: King of Swords – Power, command, authority, militant intelligence, law
Hah! That explains why my request for an exception to corporate RTO (Return To Office) policy was approved without question (I get to work remotely full time, praise the Lord). Now, off to prepare a list of even more outrageous demands!
militant intelligence
That doesn’t sound like me at all so I am calling bullshit. Love the Lily pics!
What? sounds exactly like you! Covert operations FTW!
Nice doggy
Is blue eyes an Aussie or Border Collie?
When does the dog get washed? that dirt is unseemly
It sounds like UCS is volunteering for bath time!
Can’t, still recovering from surgery. I’m not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds, and that dog is more than 10 pounds.
You should recover quickly. My father had that surgery and he was back to normal in no time at all.
My busted rib on the other hand….
Take it easy and get better.
Still, It’s only been since wednesday.
I was able to get groceries today, so I got out of the house. Things are getting better. I’m not washing a dog that big.
NA has dog handling gloves so Lily never gets a bath. Glad you are on the mend. Any surgery sucks.
I had similar concerns.
I believe the answer was it dries out in 10 minutes and brushes right out.
Dog washing gloves, present!
Knight of Wands – Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence
Yeah, none of that is gonna happen. But, the wife has been informed when she will be going back, although I don’t think it will be 100% of the time. Too many of her clients love the instantaneousness of zoom. And she loves the “thinking” time WFH gives her. But, on the plus side, her brevet appointment is over, and now she gets a promotion with a raise to the same salary and an increase in title, which is just as important at this point.
I’m lonely. I want a doggy. I wonder how pissed Mrs. T would be if I went to Petco/Petsmart and rescued a pup while she is away.
Better to ask forgiveness than permission?
You must have a comfortable couch.
…and be okay with sharing it with a dog.
The voice of experience.
She will chew your ass and then in no time fall in love with the dog. Then it will be her dog while you still sleep on the couch.
Nice ass.

Should I buy a lottery ticket or not?
go for it . . . whatever turns you on! – Miley Cyrus
Lemme buy one for you… *scratches oooh, so close.
Uh-huh
Not 100% sure that’s positive.
I just ran the numbers. According to my model, in six months that dog will be 17 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh2900 pounds.
I wonder how pissed Mrs. T would be if I went to Petco/Petsmart and rescued a pup while she is away.
At least you’ll have a place to sleep.
*in the doghouse
I guess the general consensus is this is just another in a long succession of bad ideas from me.
So this not just a T-shirt, it’s a warning.
When I was much younger, there was never a dare I wouldn’t take, mostly because my mostly male compadres were pussies. So was I brave or stupid? Yes. I don’t regret taking any one of those dares.

Lily looks like a lot of fun. Enjoy her NA.

A former top executive at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has said that staff are “freaking out” about the nonprofit’s future, according to a report in the Financial Times.
“I think people are freaking out a little bit,” the unnamed former insider told the newspaper. “People are really worried that the credibility and standing of the foundation is in jeopardy now, especially in areas like gender empowerment.”
Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, who co-chair the foundation, announced their divorce in May after 27 years of marriage. An investigation by Insider later found that Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, was an office bully who pursued sexual affairs.
The Financial Times on Sunday reported hearing “murmurs of dissent and doubts” about the organization’s future.
Their hard work in the field of gender empowerment has been undermined? Oh, no.
I think they should all do the honorable thing and commit ritual suicide en masse to atone for their affiliation with Gates.
Having been in an office where younger people work with older, very wealthy and successful people, I can tell you that young, hot women are also doing a lot of pursuing.
As to who is using who? Well, that all seems to be a matter of perspective.
So I noticed, as soon as they discover I have money……
Worried the standing and credibility of the organization have suffered, are they? I suspect they’re a lot more worried about what they’ll do if they lose that cushy job as Bill Gates’ (ego) fluffer.
How bad is NBC news? Check out this hot take headline:
Richard Branson space flight beats out Jeff Bezos. But all of humanity loses.
The stratification of who gets to leave the stratosphere is not another division we need.

Even better… The links below feature this jewel:
The patriarchal race to colonize Mars is just another example of male entitlement
The presumed right to use and abuse something and then walk away to conquer something new is a hallmark of colonialism.
The nut of their take? NASA is funded by everyone, so NASA astronauts represent us all. Therefore, when a select few from NASA go to space, we all get to go.
But when billionaires make a company to take literally anyone with a couple hundred grand to space….. Well, that is evil, because everyone can’t go.
I mean the poor don’t fund nasa at all, and by leftist’s own logic aren’t really represented by majoritarian politics anyway.
What if we send a contingent of LGBTQ astronauts to Mars, and they find out Maritans abhor their lifestyle and want to kill them (kinda like most Arab nations) ?
What will they do then ? Subject the “aliens” to conform to their views with hours of videos and powerpoint presentations on acceptance & diversity ? Perhaps a Pride Parade through downtown Mars ?
Who’s the colonizer now ?
Here is the byline: Chandra Steele, tech and culture journalist. I think we all knew what would follow from a “tech and culture journalist.”

Re the nuts discussion earlier, I think there are a lot of regional issues at play too.
IIRC there was a major drought for a long time in NW Georgia that had an impact for a couple years.
My aunt has a bunch of pecan trees on her property outside Fayetteville, NC – we had a great haul of nuts last year but I think that was the first year in the past 4 or 5 that the trees didn’t get hit by bugs that ruined most of the nuts. Actually a bit of a surprise how many bushels she got.
My dad has pecan groves and whether they get a good crop just depends on the year and weather. Sometimes amazing. Sometimes worthless.
So, somtimes Pecans, somtimes Piquants?
much pique have you,
That may just pique him.
Minds, like? Tall Cans?

You’ll need sharper wits than that to do so.
Looks like he’s in a pickle.

A sigh is a lofted raindrop on the blink of realization.
Now that’s a flat top.
Sweet. They need to cook those onions for another 20 or 30 minutes though; I like mine dark brown and super sweet. A beloved commenter (Pie?) linked this the other day, and in addition to being a dish I wanna tackle, check out the cook surfaces they are using. I’ve never seen anything like them… Hell, I don’t even know what they are. Looks like a giant surface divided into smaller, rectangular cook surfaces surround by a water trough. I want to play with it.
Amen on the onions, and ya that stove is awesome. The French …………….https://www.leatelierparis.com/pages/la-grande-cuisine-2000
I want those in my custom Newell motorcoach. Fun Fact – when my parents bought their first house in 1983 (2br/2ba, 1 car garage, on a 1/4 acre in Charlotte County, FL), it was $5000 less than the least expensive stove on that site. Wow!
I expected this type of flat top, to be honest.
I haz disappoint.
I hoped you linked this.
