This week is mostly astrologically inert. But not totally, and most interestingly enough, not all bad! Monday is though. Bad I mean. Saturn does that, especially when the Earth and Moon are in alignment with it. But fortunately that doesn’t last long because the moon moves very quickly, and it winds up aligning with Jupiter instead on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not all of two days, the moon moves too quickly to sustain an alignment like that for 48 hours. But for parts of Tuesday and Wednesday you should be pretty darn OK. Capricorn in particular will be enjoying Venus and Mercury (love and luck) so have fun with that.

It could be worse. I’m apparently getting married this week.
Things connected with churches, religions, sects, the priesthood, disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.
Bwahahaha, well my son is getting married on Saturday.
Does that include throwing virgins into an active volcano? Asking for a friend.
That seems like a waste of perfectly good vrigins.
That likely strongly depends on the the virgins. Picture them all as the Ackshually guy and… well…
My horror scope never changed before in the entirety of my life until recently. I was First yesterday, I was First that day, and I was going to be First the day after that. The only thing different now is that I am still First, only I can be First in all three of those times at once.
Looks more like third today.
Awww, yeah.
Sagittarius: 7 of Swords – Design, attempt, wish, hope, confidence; also quarrelling, a plan that may fail, annoyance.
My plan to rob a casino dressed as Santa Claus is taking shape, but I’m not sure I can depend on the elves.
my son is getting married on Saturday.
Are vast tracts of land involved?
Two sheep, four goats and 10 bushels of yams.
My wife does drive a hard bargain.
Eight-cow woman. Mahana, you ugly!
The big Golden in the first video is a close twin to my Pete except Pete may have been a bit bigger. RIP Pete. Best dog I ever shared life with.

Finally a good one for us Geminis but NA has to throw in it could be better.
Yum.

Strips for lunch.
Just got back from the brewery for lunch. Cheesy grits as a side with a ham and swiss omelet. Coffee porter on tap. Sometimes it’s good to enjoy the little things in life.

Love those level mag releases. Rip both the release and PPQ. Walther’s pickings are getting pretty slim these days.
*lever
Nice! That’s tonight’s dinner for us. $7.99/lb at Costco.
TIL that one of my shotguns is too long for my shotgun case.
Can relate. I can’t find a case long enough for my 308.
So the low-level constant state of panic may end a little bit?
I love how no (national-level) sports commentators are talking about the Vikings. They’re slobbering all over the Cowboys & Eagles & 9ers.
Welp, it’s raining again for literally the 7th day in a row.
I ❤️ rain.
In late fall/early winter, I much prefer snow.
Agreed, but if rain is all I can get in the winter, I’ll take it.
Well, you don’t have to plow or shovel rain. We’re due for 12-16 inches of white stuff in the next 24 hours. Just enough to make it difficult to move with my tractor, so I’ll have a buddy hit it with his plow.
you can’t move 12″ of snow with your tractor? Is your tractors first name Lawn?
Utility. It’s a Deere 1023e. If I had a front-mounted PTO snowblower – on the purchase list for next year – I could handle it easily. But with the loader and box blade, it just takes too damn long. I’d rather float my buddy a few bucks to plow than spend half the day on the tractor.
Out lots are just big enough that we need something bigger than a lawn tractor, but not a full-sized machine. So we split the difference.
The 1 series are nice tractors. I’ve been eying a 1025r (and 1026r before that) for years.
I just want to know who had the bright idea to have both AFC North games at the same time. All four teams are playing in the two games.
right?
Vikings are clearly really good, flash backs to when Moss was a big deal. Eagles are good too, and of course KC.
Losing to Detroit as you sing their praises.
Hahaha, Preet surfaces.
The snow has picked up to the point that it makes a fair bit of noise coming down
Does it drown out the steel?
Due to my busy schedule, I’m unable to make it up there today.
I guess Carl Spackler changed his name and moved to Minnesoda:
There’s a guy who has a YouTube channel that’s just him shooting small game in his backyard.
The big differences between him and our perp is that YouTube guy a) uses an airgun, and b) has an oak tree as a backstop.
Powers told his wife he was being arrested, and she said, “Well, I told you.”
This is funny, regardless!
The night time video is cool.
Concealment, disguise, policy, fear, unreasoned caution.
Sounds shitty enough.
While the owner of the lighted collar dog can keep track of her/him so can all the other dogs.
I had a Rem 1100 with a 30″ barrel and a 1 inch recoil pad. Found a nice padded case, I gave the gun and case away. Don’t remember the brand.
Hopefully for the lady folks my son isn’t getting married, I think his best used days are over.
Prodigality, dissipation, liberality, luxury; unfavourable news.
Sounds fun. This week is bonus week.
Aquarius: Page of Coins reversed – Prodigality, dissipation, liberality, luxury; unfavourable news.
yeah, yeah **kicks can** – Cristiano Ronaldo
There are many goldens some days, but one is mine.
So sweet!
Leo: The Hermit reversed – Concealment, disguise, policy, fear, unreasoned caution.
Not sweet.
“A Message to the Next Generation of Scientists – Anthony Fauci, New York Times”
I don’t recall?
Tough shit, I burned through all the credibility you might ever have had!
Not Adahn: I finally figured out how to do Featured Images in Block Editor, and fixed your post. Yay, me.
How do you do it?
Under the “Post” menu/sidebar/block/whateverthefuckitscalled, there is a “Featured Image” entry.
When I’m in the block editor, I always have to go hunt for it.
So similar to the classic editor.
Oops.
Because of course it is.
Well, they do know how to pay off europeans (cough FIFA cough) to get what they want.
OT: Kari Lake filed suit
After long refusing to commit to accepting the results of her race if she lost, Republican Kari Lake on Friday filed the legal challenge she’s been threatening in the aftermath of losing the Arizona governor’s race.
A civil complaint was filed Friday with the Maricopa County Superior Court naming Secretary of State and Democratic governor-elect Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, Elections Director Scott Jarrett and both the office of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and individual members.
There are multiple falsehoods and distorted assertions included in the lawsuit that echo the failed legal challenges brought by former President Donald Trump’s team to overturn the 2020 election.
Link to the suit if you want to judge for yourself.

I’m sure this is a impartial assessment.
an*, even. ///whatisproofreading
Nice editorializing in a so called news piece. I have not followed that case close at all, but the little news I have heard from sources I trust a lot more than ABC news is Maricopa County was a shit show of epic shit shows. Hopefully they find a judge who doesn’t just throw it out because……………?
Well, smartypants, the election has been certified. So, “no standing” or somesuch.
I know you’re being sarcastic, but for the record:
AZ Election law on filing a contest
A. The elector contesting a state election shall, within five days after completion of the canvass of the election and declaration of the result thereof by the secretary of state or by the governor, file in the court in which the contest is commenced a statement in writing setting forth:
When was the canvass completed?
Is the canvass even completed yet? Gathering ballots takes months these days.
I think it was completed. I don’t remember what day it was completed.
More than 15-20 minutes wait to vote is absolutely fucking ridiculous and the amount of contractor handled work of the balloting process is totally indefensible.
Not sure those things are what they are arguing.
Part of the filing is that the waiting times are intentional to suppress Republican voters.
I think it was more the tabulators didn’t fucking work, which led to long wait times causing people to just leave. I didn’t read anything about 15 or 20 minutes more the machinery was fucked.
And I imagine that is just as much horse-shit as Stacey Abrams complaints about suppression were.
Gotta love the commentary in an ostensible news story.
“Not enough to affect the outcome.”
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
Maricopa County Superior Court
Well, she might lose in one of those backwater courts, but, upon appeal, some Trump-appointed judge at some eventual level will reverse so she can be properly installed. I mean, worst case, it gets to the Supreme Court where in 2020 Team Trump was 100% supportive of election fraud claims. I mean, there were 60 cases last time where similar cases were filed, and Republican judges came through time after time. This will be cleaned up in no time; I recommend we all take a nap to celebrate the forthcoming validations.
I’m sure this is a impartial assessment.
The narrative is by definition the unadulterated truth. Questioning the narrative is therefor a falsehood.
I am amused by the so called libertarians on this site who like to argue the state is always right and legit in all things elections. Myself, I assume the state is lying about literally everything but you guys do you.
That happened when? (Note: I’m not saying it didn’t happen, I just never saw it.) FWIW, I think the AZ ‘election’ is absolute bullshit. A rerun of 2020 where the D candidate sleeps in the basement all the election long, yet has indominable traction despite their complete absence, mental or otherwise.
And in the AZ gov’s race, despite the fact that Lake has charisma, while Dobbs or whatever her fucking name is has the presence of a rotting fish.
