There are other dogs, and then there is Lily.
As was foretold, disaster struck my phone before I could download all the pics from Prospect. I manage to get… decent if not great pics of all eleven dogs in the pack this time, plus a really good one of Queenie and Lily in a similar pose to the one from when Queenie was a pup that really showed how much the GSD has grown up. Alas.
Mother and son
This week is much the same as last, with it being a particularly good time to be the head of a household. It also a good time for those looking to “get lucky” in both the literal and figurative senses (Sun-Mercury-Venus). Interpreting Mars these days is a bit trickier, what with “military” no longer being a subset of “men, but Tuesday is looking like a particularly good time to be in the National Guard, an official-type bodyguard, or an army defending it’s own territory. There’s a definite “home” aspect to the Mars-Jupiter alignment. Tuesday is another particularly bad day for phones — I had gotten so used to interpreting Saturn (retrograde) in its creation aspect that I was overlooking the other reading of “particularly unpleasant ending,” much to my dismay. That whole thing I was saying about Mars-Jupiter on Tuesday? On Friday it gets a bit of a goose when the moon clicks into place (the moon doesn’t actually click — there’s no sound in space). That is usually a destabilizing influence, but it will be waxing past the quarter, and in context it could be shifting the focus more towards a naval-based event. We shall see. Exciting isn’t it?
Father and son
Poisoning/disease is a worry on Tuesday, but it’s also a day of good luck for those born under this sign. Use a condom. Double-checking the meaning of the moon when it become a player on Friday, we see that’s the time it’s crossing into Scorpio which further adds to the idea that there is going to be violence used in defense then. If we want to try and see what the greatest risk is for our phones on Tuesday, we see that it’s Leo, so: your cat.

Cancer: Judgement reversed – Weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity, deliberation, decision, sentence.
Leo: 8 of Swords – Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny, sickness. The slightly offsetting bit is these are all temporary, not permanent.
Virgo: 9 of Swords reversed – Imprisonment, suspicion, doubt, reasonable fear, shame.
Libra: The Star – Loss, theft, privation, abandonment, hope, bright prospects
Scorpio: The World reversed – Inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence.
Sagittarius: Temperance reversed – Things connected with churches/religions, disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.
Capricorn: 9 of Coins – Prudence, safety, success, accomplishment, certitude, discernment.
Aquarius: King of Wands reversed – Good but severe man, austere, yet tolerant. Can also refer to the abuse of male sexuality.
Pisces: The Chariot – Succor, providence, war, triumph, presumption, vengeance, trouble.
Aries: Page of Swords reversed – Spying (in a bad way), what is unforeseen, unprepared state, sickness.
Taurus: Queen of Wands – A dark woman, countrywoman, friendly, chaste, loving, honorable. I think the part about “chaste” is to mislead people, because this card is about female sexuality. Particularly of the sapphic kind.
Gemini: King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.

Yes, really.

No, I am not applying for a NY gun permit.
I want a recount.
I see a ghost.
Yeah, that’s some “Back to the Future “ time erasure shit.
Surprise! I’ve got some steaks to grill today.

Yummy.
I’m taking a break from work around the house. When the break is over, it’s time to start cleaning up the cars.
“Cancer: Judgement reversed – Weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity, deliberation, decision, sentence.”
Doesn’t sound great.
Sagittarius: Temperance reversed – Things connected with churches/religions, disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.
Guess what- I don’t particularly care what you want.
Virgo: am I being detained?
I have been perusing the craigslist “car and truck” ads, for amusement purposes.
One thing of note: the Ford Expedition does not seem to hold value. Is that because it’s a big gas guzzler, or is it a reliability/failure issue?
I had one for 18 years.
2 failures: needed real windshield wiper motor within a couple of years. Also had erratic behavior of the AC operating even after turning off the car; I traced it to water entering the windshield and getting a control PCB wet. Replaced the windshield and problem solved.
10-12 mpg was brutal, but it was a very good car. I gave it away in California due to the gas price.
Oh, look-
a $1200 Land Cruiser wagon for $10,750
Where’s my phone?
Somebody will buy it. People are paying stupid prices for old Land Cruisers
If you think that is still a $1200 vehicle, you haven’t been paying attention to the PNW for a looooooong time.

I can sleep well because the Guard is on duty.

The sun’ll come out in ’24
At least in the primaries
There’ll be sun

Ok, grill is fired up.
Here’s a cucumber plant climbing up the side of my house:

I just took a mess of peppers (jalapenos, habs, seranos) off the grill and out of the roasting pan. Today is salsa making day. CPRM inspired me last night. Speaking of that, a question for those in the know…….at what time did Swiss shit himself this morning? Did I win ten bucks?
He’s probably still on the crapper
Om nom nom. 👍
For store bought, I really like this: https://samssalsa.com/products
Add in 1 super hot, and done.
Sounds delicious. My pepper plants are just starting to fruit
….with it being a particularly good time to be the head of a household.
Fuck Ya!

Just another day under Bidenomics.
Looking at the radar, tryna figure out if I should fire up the newly-assembled grill, or wait til after the inevitable storms. Storms seem to be only ~20 miles away
Get rain hat out and tell the rain god he’s a pussy, and grill anyways.

Excellent choice, what I was hoping for.
Huh. My truck’s registration expired five days ago. And nothing else happened.
Found the insurance cards sitting by the printer. Turns out haven’t had a valid insurance card since October of last year. Also, nothing else happened.
Great dog photos as per usual.
Yeah, but there’s a ghost in one!
Nobody reads the alt-text.
I don’t see alt text on my Fire tablet.
When they were driving into the trailhead parking lot, Duke, Panda and Maple all had their heads stuck out of the same window. Unfortunately, I did not have the phone out to catch that.
Did you try to remove someone from the second photo?
First one.
It’s a ghost.
I definitely would not post any other human’s face onto this site. I wouldn’t want to put them on the lists.
Totally get it
If anyone wants an afternoon zoom, I’m hanging out now. Link in comments of morning links post
I need a nap first.
It was the Saturday night post: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87821224358?pwd=eW55MTRDbDNtQkh2aHd3M1Nmenlzdz09
I’m all alone there right now. If any of y’all show up, I’ll put my pants back on.
In that case, I’m not doing it.
Looks like I left just in time.
I got forced indoors by weather, so I decided to sign off temporarily & de-stinkify myself
Sometimes, I just feel like you people don’t understand, don’t fully appreciate, just what I do for all of you. I First for your sins. Your guide in the darkness. I am your salvation. Will you not follow? Will you turn away from The First?
Oh man, I’d love too. But I think I’m going to go disc golfing today.
Gemini: King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.
I think I’ll just go back to bed.

Sufficiently shitty.
Surprise announcement
Pete Arredondo, the embattled police chief of the school district where 19 children and two teachers were killed in a shooting, is resigning from his city council post, city officials said.
A local newspaper in Uvalde, Texas, first reported Arredondo’s decision to resign, which city officials later confirmed.
Arredondo, the police chief for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, served as incident commander during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School on May 24. He has faced criticism and calls for his resignation as chief from parents and the Uvalde community over the police response and delay in breaching the classrooms where the gunman carried out the attack.
Arredondo was elected to the Uvalde City Council in early May and sworn in days after the school shooting. He told the Uvalde Leader-News on Friday he plans to resign from his city council post, according to the local newspaper.
How could it have taken so long?
How could it have taken so long?
You have noticed that a timely response is not his forte, right?
ZING!
Cop-level arrogance.
Since everyone is gushing over doge- Liesl update:
we went to the vet yesterday for the final round of puppy shots. Between her 1st visit in May and yesterday, she’s put on 19 lbs.
Happy and healthy, she’s gonna be a big girl.
