This week is dominated by the conjunction of Venus and Saturn, indicating trouble in the home life. This persists until Thursday, with a major crisis likely on Tuesday or Wednesday. If you do wind up splitting with your significant other, Friday is the best time to attempt a reconciliation as Venus will align with the Sun and Mercury then. While Mercury doesn’t always mean good luck, the fact that this alignment happens on a Friday (Vendredi = Venus’ Day) means that it’s an opportune time to (re-)kindle a relationship.
The moon’s transit from Cancer into Leo indicates a revelation this week. Aries continues being happy, if unfulfilled, and it’s a great week to be a fisherman but a shitty one to be a Sailor.
So much water… how do I jump in ALL of it?
This week I’ll only be giving you the good readings of the cards.
Aries: Temperance – Great news! You don’t have to worry about things getting out of control!
Taurus: 10 of Coins – Do you enjoy stability, comfort and respect? Then this is the right week for you.
Gemini: 8 of Coins reversed – No worries about getting too much credit or wasting your masterpiece on the unworthy.
Cancer: 5 of Swords reversed – if you have a humiliation fetish, this is a great week for you!
Leo: 8 of Cups reversed – You will find what you lost.
Virgo: 4 of Swords reversed – If you play your cards right, you can avoid the awful thing that’s coming.
Libra: 9 of Cups – That item you need is in stock.
Scorpio: Queen of Swords – You’ll meet/interact with a strong woman.
Sagittarius: The Hierophant reversed – Society, good understanding, concord.
Capricorn: Strength – Courage, subdual of your enemies, and general good times.
Aquarius: 3 of Wands – The only reason you’re bored is you’ve had so much success.
Pisces: The Sun reversed – Growth, happiness, contentment, and not too much.
I’m thinking maybe the reason she doesn’t like baths at home is the water isn’t cold enough.
These pretzels are making me thirsty, and you won’t like me when I’m thirsty.
We don’t like you now.
Who is we? I’m okay with BrowchetaTARD.
Sagittarius: The Hierophant reversed – Society, good understanding, concord.
I’ll be leaving shortly to visit some friends.
Pisces: The Sun reversed – Growth, happiness, contentment, and not too much.
I’ll take it
Yeah. Finally a good one.
YAY!!!! I LOVE uneventful weeks!
Heading out to a gun show in Big Lake here in a few, so we’ll see.
…I’ll take it.
Aries continues being happy, if unfulfilled
Fulfillment is overrated.
Leo: 8 of Cups reversed – You will find what you lost.
My youth? Hair? Faith in Mankind?
Great pics! Lily is insane – 32.5 degree water is bracing!
My self respect?
Dang, RJ. Beat me to it.
Elon posts a poll asking for advice on Twitter.
I like this one.
Liquidate the headquarters if nobody is coming. Is it there because servers are in the building? If not, the heck with it.
Well, last week the TSA found my Leatherman tool that I had lost a few months ago–in my toiletries bag…
I had one in my backpack that made it through TSA twice without them noticing it.
The porterhouses I’m gonna grill aren’t that impressive, but they were the nicest on display. The filet side is a bit weak.

These filets, though, look decent. Yes, I’ll bacon wrap them.
The Shoprite supermarket (closest to me is about 20 minutes away in Brooklyn) has prime rib for $5.99 per lb.. That looks like as good as it’s gonna get around here.

I am making this today on top of the pound of bacon I have cooked. No steaks for me. Nothing was on sale that was worthy.
Sans the veges………#Noveges
#Noriceeither
You could rice up some cauliflower.
#noveges
I am trying a month of meat and tequila. (And one Big Bad Baptist Black Forest Cake beer………I woke up feeling diabetic)
Huh. Ok, rock on.
IMO, when I started low-carb a couple years ago, no veggies = no fiber. And no fiber means you’re painfully bound-up for days.
YMMV.
/makes a salad with ham, bacon, turkey, and cheese.
Low Carb Jambalaya
I made that a week ago and it rocks. No roux, so the carbs are low. The zucchini cooks down and thickens the liquid. I used bacon grease instead of the butter and olive oil. Some have suggested that okra can be added to great effect.
Noted. I may make that tomorrow.
And I may try the okra winfrey angle- should thicken it, too.
I also used red, yellow, orange, and green bell peppers instead of just green, as the recipe calls for. Adds color and flavor.
“if you have a humiliation fetish, this is a great week for you!”
I do not. ?
Dogs + water: Love it. Yay Lilly!
…..it’s a great week to be a fisherman but a shitty one to be a Sailor.
It’s never a shitty week to be a sailor.
Lily is such a water dog. She looks super happy.
Sonny doesn’t mind water, but he doesn’t like it as much as Lily seems to. We had a day last summer where there had been so much rain that he finally balked at crossing one of the gullies that fill up after heavy rains.
And then there was the day I was crossing one of the permanent creeks, and we saw a couple of bikers on the next trail over, which got Sonny extremely curious.
I’ve never had a pit bull that liked water much. The few times I have seen one get into water too deep to stand on the bottom, they just . . . sink unless they can get up a good head of steam. All that bone and muscle, I guess.
Now, the Newfie – we would take him to the James River, let him swim around, lather him up with shampoo, and toss him back in. Couldn’t get enough swimming and splashing (and shaking – I estimate a Newfie coat holds at least a couple gallons of water).
Pictures like this make me SO envious Sonny doesn’t heel.
I was putting Sonny’s line back on the hook yesterday, and he decided to run out the open door. It took Dad and me a good 15 minutes to get him back in as he ran in zigzags near enough to stay in sight, but too far for us to run after him effectively.
Serpentine, Sonny!
Taurus: 10 of Coins – Do you enjoy stability, comfort, and respect?
if only Haskins could have stayed off the interstate for a week
Virgo: 4 of Swords reversed – If you play your cards right, you can avoid the awful thing that’s coming.
pretty sure I’m stuck sitting next to Brett M. Kavanaugh – Ketanji Brown Jackson
Wow. The stars are not liking Easter coming up.
I wish I knew what cards I need to play.
You know one has to be the Ace of Spades.
Hello, Scorpios!
So … there’s a libertarianish book/writer/author conference coming up in September and I think I’m going to be invited to be on a panel. This is why I love Twitter and I’m glad I established myself there early on.
Neat.
Cool!
?
That’s great! You’ll let us know if you get the invite, won’t you?
Not really OT since it’s about the front page pic: I love survey markers, and surveys, and maps in general. Heck, I “think in maps” – hard to explain. That is all.
?? cartophilia
ditto
Check out Raven Maps – we’ve got their mega-maps of AZ and TX framed and hanging on the wall.
+1 I use nautical charts as wall art. Some people find it hard to fathom someone would do that.
“fathom”
I ketch what you are putting down and like the cut of your jib.
I have a nautical chart of the Duloot bay in my hallway.
I have charts 11442, and 18502 as wall decoration in my stairway. I love both areas. Awesome places.
I went to a big sale at the boat store.
It was quite the oar deal.
Yawl better watch out for Swiss. He may keel you.
One of my nieces is a cartographer.
I’m a spreadsheet guy, but maps are cool
here’s a history of europe by year showing rulers, a moving map of sorts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpKqCu6RcdI&t=905s
I knew a woman who collected plumb bobs: her whole house was decorated by them hanging from every furr down and cabinet
was she on the level?
I had an engineer ask me for the accuracy of my plumb bob at work.
“Is it NIST traceable ?”
What do the planets have against sailors recently? Two Thursdays ago the race had a waterspout form, and out boat blew up a turning block (fancy name for a pulley) and to do an emergency drop of the spinnaker in high winds. (Still won) Last Sunday another boat lost a sailor overboard- he was recovered. This Thursday our main halyard broke at the masthead leaving us to finish under a jib only and costing us two spots. What will happen during the race today?
It’s probably your cursed tiki idol.
Greg knows.
Boy that is some rough luck.
While on my last paid sailing gig back in the day the “Captain” of said boat told us to cut in half a line that was rumored to be a spinnaker line. We did it. On our voyage as we unfurled the spinnaker one of the crew had her hand sucked into a block as the sail filled. We should not have cut that line. We were missing the other one but the “captain” did not realize that. He drank a lot.
Owww….
I’ve taken a boom in the face and knocked overboard during an unannounced and unexpected tack, but for some reason getting your fingers crunched in a block just sounds worse.
She was useless the rest of the trip. At least until I got off the boat. Her hand was mangled. #letgooftheline

Of course they did.
“trouble in the home life. This persists until Thursday, with a major crisis likely on Tuesday or Wednesday”
Puzzling, since Mrs. Dean is at Front Sight for a 4 day handgun class through Thursday. Possibly the Dean Beasts will cause/get into trouble?
Scorpions in your shoes.
“Leo: 8 of Cups reversed – You will find what you lost.”
My self-respect? Perhaps some basic human decency? I can hardly wait to find out!
Virginity.
Marbles?
Capricorn: Strength – Courage, subdual of your enemies, and general good times.
what? I can barely fucking walk – Tiger Woods
There’s an annual foot race/relay that starts in Baker, CA and continues to Las Vegas, which means it passes right through Pahrump. This year it’s April 9-10. Law enforcement officers from all over the world get together for it.
I have no idea if it’s a fundraiser or what, but I do know that it snarls up traffic from Pahrump to Las Vegas for a couple of days. There’s not really an alternate route for driving to Vegas, but I think we can avoid the highways in Pahrump itself when we head out for my birthday dinner tonight.
This race doesn’t seem like the safest thing to do, but if it makes them happy…
https://bakervegas.net/
Law enforcement officers from all over the world get together for it.
Asshole convention?
MAGA rally.
You will find what you lost.
That’s not necessarily good.
Nice pictures!
So I put my chicken tika spiced thighs on the grill and the chem trails left in the sky from planes look like the V for Vendetta movie. What does that mean?
They’re coming for you!
Get yer bugout bag and run!
I’m not a politician so I doubt that. I took it as load the empty magazines.
Won’t help you. You’ve already inhaled the poison.
Good point.
I’ll let an expert explain.
