So far, Black mountain has my favorite view. At least in early summer.

 

Things are pretty simple this week:  MERCURY RETROGRADE.  It’ll be at it’s maximum silliness until Wednesday, with a particularly… whimsical day on Monday as something literally goes sideways.  Check your shoelaces.

 

It’s getting hot. Mud helps.

 

This is not a good week for Taurus, or anyone engaging in bull-like activities (pulling oxcarts/plows, chasing people out of fields, impregnating females, becoming hamburger).  There’s always a drop off when the sun leaves your sign for the next one, but in this rare and unfortunate instance you have MERCURY RETROGRADE entering (backwards) at the same time the sun is leaving.  So extremely bad luck for you.  Your loss is Gemini’s gain however which, considering they’re completely lacking in anything else auspicious, they kind of need.  Also this week, there is particular risk of damage from/by/in water.

 

Water is better than mud. It’s so hot that Dakota’s even willing to take a dip.

It occurs to me that in this last month and a half of hiking mountains, I never posted one of the jewels of ’80 alt-rock.
