Too… tired… to stand… but… must… keep… fighting…
IFLA
Stuff! Like, in the skies and such!
The week begins with “aw shit, duck and cover” with MERCURY RETROGRADE lining up with Mars and the sun to blast us with harsh vibes. Fortunately, that breaks up quickly. What’s not so fortunate is that MERCURY RETROGRADE links up with other celestial events afterwards, to wit: Saturn goes station direct this week, so finally that big boy will begin to make some progress through the zodiac. Saturn’s progress is very very slow. There’s a reason Saturn is associated with lead. But on Friday, Venus will pass between MERCURY RETROGRADE and the aforementioned Saturn, portending a major breaking of a romantic relationship. Possibly by death, but MERCURY RETROGRADE’s style is a bit more “partner discovered engaging in unsanctioned relations through a completely improbable series of coincidences.” So we non-celestial-worthy types might get some entertainment out of it. Tuesday-ish we’ll be subjected to the opposing forces of MERCURY RETROGRADE (purely random nonsense) and Jupiter retrograde (misrule) so I’d avoid parking meters or downtown areas in their entirety then.
Next week: A loved one is needed in order for you to keep your shit together.
This week has a lot of cards that refer to embarrassment.

My favorite German scientist babe talking about how great astrology is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWV0XIn-rvY
How basic is pumpkin spice? 18thC. basic.
Great video. Thanks. I love how she brings up that plate tectonics used to be a crackpot idea and wasn’t accepted until the 1960s. Also that double-blind methodology was developed to debunk pseudoscience claims.
“Society of Truth-Loving Men.” Von Hoven is my new hero. Never heard of him before. Thanks.
But which cinnamon? True cinnamon, or cassia? I can’t spare 11 or even 6 minutes.
I love it when she gets into politics. It’s perfect reminder of how stupid smart people can be.
“Virgo: Queen of Cups reversed – You know when you have a nice romantic evening, but your date gets so sloppy drunk that you don’t have sex? Yeah, that’s what this card is.”
What if you’re the drunk?
Aries?

It’s great chili weather: cool and a bit on the gray side. Completely unlike San Antonio where it was invented. Go figure.
I made chili on wednesday. My chili cooks for hours, so by the time it was done I wasn’t hungry. Some in the freezer, a bit in the fridge.
Pisces: uh oh
I think I saw that movie on Pornhub.
Sagittarius: Three of Coins – Métier, trade, skilled labor, nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory.
That’s the ticket!

I started rewatching The Expanse. So far season 1 is better than I remembered it being. I don’t know if I’ll make it through before S6 is complete (1/14/22?)
1/14/22 is the word. Starts December 10 with only 6 eps with weekly releases:
https://collider.com/the-expanse-season-6-release-date-amazon-prime-video/
I wonder if Amazon has deigned to put out a hardcopy of either S04 or S05.
Blue-ray for s4
Sweet! Wish-listed.
I thought they were going to push it on Prime forever.
I love Thomas Jane, but I couldn’t get into it.
Heh, that was fun.
He is so good in The Expanse.
He’s the only person to star in a Marvel movie that pretty much did a high budget fan film for his own character.
That was good.
Wow. They foreshadowed the S4/5 bombardment in S1.
Leo: Page of Coins – Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, messages, rule, management, bills, bill collectors.
I think I’ll ignore this and enjoy more Killer Lily pics!
She’s started digging up pine saplings that are in her way to the chipmunk nests. I’m surprised at how shallow the root systems are.
Your yard will be rodent free in no time.
I have two dogs that have destroyed my lawn trying to catch moles. They smell them and by the time they dig the critter is gone.
Gotta figure out how to get the moles myself to save my yard.
I demand a refund. Your projections failed to warn me that I would have a knife pulled on me yesterday, and a gun put to the back of my head about a half hour ago.
Boy, driving an Uber is fun sometimes.
Jesus, man. Did they at least tip you well .
Pfft. Passengers never tip.
So, just the tip then.
I have always tipped my Uber drivers except for one inept and rude one.
When I have an in-and-out business trip I vastly prefer Uber to messing with a rental car.
Euphemism?
Top tips.
Wait wut?
First was an angry confrontation with a Pakistani uber driver over a dispute in the airport parking lot.
Half hour ago was me doing a pick up in a housing project. Customer never showed up, so I canceled. As I’m ready to drive off, the passenger hops in my car (my bad for not locking door immediately) and disputed me not being willing to take him. Some back and forth as I ask him to leave, then he pulls a gun on me and tells me he’s going to smoke me on the spot.
He didn’t, as you might be able to deduce.
It’s been a weekend, thats for sure.
taking all those good Cabby jobs from all the other knife-wielding Pakistanis. Fucking Uber.
Dude! Remind us where you live?
I took Uber once, a few years ago (someone else’s account). Tipped $5.
Last I recall he was around Beefalo, USNY or some such.
Glad you’re OK. You going to go mimic your avatar now?
Yikes. I’m assuming there’s a way to report that to Uber and the police such that the miscreant can be identified.
I hope you left the passenger a scathing review.
The passenger would probably threaten him again.
Holy crap! Kind of makes my day look good.
Is it too much to ask for Aaron Rodgers to get sacked a dozen times today?
They didn’t call the penalty when he was tripped.
Ok, I’ll settle for the pick he just threw.
Joke away, ya bastards!
Better than the usual Doom and Gloom,
Cheers!
At least this isn’t bullshit: Happy John Prine Day!
In King Kullen just now skirt steak $25.99 a pound. What the hell happened?
Elections have consequences.
Stolen elections have consequences.
FIFY.

BBQ guests are getting London Broil I guess.
Only one photo?
I misplaced the phone with the pics for most of the week.

I was just reminded that Soylent Green was set in 2022. Something to look forward to next year. Perhaps a real world vs. Soylent Green comparison?
Season 3 of Tacoma FD is rocking it.
Chechen man.

Strong. Like retarded bull.
So, like Vin Deisel?
Hold my pivo.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-4-9-million-police-son-arrested-guns-gang
“A Fresno, California, area woman who received a nearly $5 million settlement after the police killed her son has been arrested for using some of that money to buy guns for another son and gang members.”
Seems a logical choice to me.
Elle a l’aire gentille.
air. rouillée!
Back in college, I knew a girl whose dad was an ATF agent in Fresno. Apparently, he had a trunk full of seized full-auto’s in his Crown Vic once, popped into a 7-11 or somesuch, comes out and it’s gone. Stolen. It was recovered an hour later, just around the corner. Seems that whoever stole it, took one look around at it, realized it was a cop car, and just bailed. Did not want to be the dude busted for that GTA. The trunk was still full of the MG’s.
The one stolen car case the cops would actually attempt to solve.

Anarchy.
Why don’t they just blame the unvaxxed?
Saw that. That shit doesn’t happen in my neighborhood.
/knock on wood
Awwww. I was gonna hit you up for some Tide.
You’re going to eat some Tide pods to tide you over from those small BBQ portions?
rhywun, where is Nassau Co. in vax cards?
I wouldn’t know anything about Nassau County. Haven’t been there in a decade or more.
You know, pretty soon stores are gonna start charging people to get in and then start closing the unprofitable ones.
This is when we will be informed of the food and dish detergent desert.
Already happening, minus the start charging to get in part.
Slutty Sunday is a Libra. Obviously.

Let’s go Brandon!
Inspired by Tulip’s fermented hot sauce articles I prepared and jarred my own today.
Three different types:
Habanero, onion, mango, pineapple, and ginger.
Jalapeño, kiwi, and chive.
Roasted poblano, Serrano, onion, garlic, and cumin.
Ooh, those sound good
