Lily’s second favorite game: chase!

 

 

Lily inviting Freya to a game of chase

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well now, this is looking better!  Mercury has gone back to being a sensible planet, and with the return to direct motion comes a burst of the better aspects of the planet’s influence: good luck, good news, clear communication and speed.  It’s a good thing we’ve got this, because there will be sufficient chaos with the Moon beginning the week in Aries.  Fortunately, you should be able to wrangle the instability to your advantage.  The one bad thing is that the moon and Saturn do make conditions right to lose your house to flooding, so any of you with beach property might want to secure your insurance documents.  But assuming that doesn’t concern you, we see another meaning of “lucky” come into play at the end of the week.  On Friday (the day of Venus) we see Venus come into alignment with Jupiter, indicating the prime time to engage in matrimonial whoopie-making.  This linkage persists the entire weekend, so married folk can enjoy.

Aquarius continues to have their big month spoiled by Saturn (which also contributes to that flooding problem mentioned earlier). And Capricorn… can you please stop complaining for a week?  You literally have all the good stuff going for you.  You’ve got the matched set of Venus + Mars, PLUS you’ve got Mercury going direct — not only will your decisions be the right ones, even if you make a stupid decision, it’s still going to work out anyway.

Aquarius:  8 of Swords – Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny, sickness.

Pisces:  5 of Coins reversed – Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy.

Aries:  Three of Cups – The conclusion of any matter in plenty, perfection and merriment, sorority party, happy issue, victory, fulfilment, solace, healing, wine club.

Taurus:  3 of Swords – This card is a heart pieced by three swords.  In the rain. I’ll let you decide if that’s good news or not.

Gemini:  3 of Coins – Métier, trade, skilled labor, nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory.  While this is not canon, I’m convinced this is an interior scene from the building portrayed in the 5 of coins earlier.  Possibly at an earlier time.

Cancer:  8 of Cups reversed – Great joy, happiness, feasting.

Leo:  Knight of Wands reversed – Rupture, division, interruption, discord.

Virgo:  6 of Wands – Victory, triumph, great news.

Libra:  Knight of Coins reversed – Inertia, idleness, repose of that kind, stagnation, placidity, discouragement, carelessness.

Scorpio:  The Emperor reversed – Benevolence, compassion, credit, confusion to enemies, obstruction, immaturity.

Sagittarius:  The Hermit reversed – Concealment, disguise, policy, fear, unreasoned caution.

Capricorn:  Temperance reversed – Things connected with churches, religions, disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.

      • Ted S.

        That’s a spicy meatball!

  3. Not Adahn

    Great morning at the park. Took Lily for her first walk off leash through the woods. We went with a large group of owners and dogs and she never went too far away, and always came back when called (admittedly I was holding a treat, but still.) Watching the dogs be happy dogs was just joyous. It took me a while to come down off of the euphoria high.

    • UnCivilServant

      That’s good to hear. was goind to say I haven’t left the house all week, but I went to the grocery store, so that’d be a lie.

      • Not Adahn

        It was very nice to see that she’d check out where I was, and it gave me excellent opportunities to work on her recall. 6/6 today, which is frankly better than I got in obedience class. I am really hoping she’s going to be a travel companion.

      • juris imprudent

        We spent most of yesterday driving down to WV (and back), to have a look at a GSP looking for a home. Our boy is 14 and really showing his age, and he won’t be with us a lot longer. We’ve always replaced after one passes, but we had the opportunity to take a look at a 2 year old male (still intact) and we agreed to take him. He’ll stay with the kennel for some more training, he should be nearly a finished gun dog when he comes to us (late March), and he’ll be neutered. So we’ll be 3 dogs, at least for a while.

      • Not Adahn

        There’s a GSP at the park named Bruno. Yes, he wears a coat.

  4. Ozymandias

    Watching Reacher:

    Even if you pick up your casings, leaving .50 AE slugs in someone is kind of a big clue.

    • hayeksplosives

      Okay, so I’m super happy and extra horney today. I’m an Aries, so am I supposed to go for sex, or will it kill him??? He’s a Capricorn, but I think he’d play any position if the price is right…

      • limey

        You could try fortifying him with whatever it is they use to get Biden up and motoring for half a press conference. I think SF has documented the process.

      • Ted S.

        Get a vibrator?

      • Q Continuum

        “will it kill him?”

        You must be damn good.

      • juris imprudent

        Ha, we’re the same signs but with the genders reversed.

    • UnCivilServant

      What? An uncommon caliber isn’t inconspicuous?

      Unrelated, I’m sometimes surprised at how bullets sometimes perform in real life. Case in point, watching a murder trial where a guy got shot in the face at close range (2-4 feet) with a 9mm. Going through the brow ridge and the back of the skull cost it so much momentum that it couldn’t pierce the scalp on the back of the head. Admittedly those are the two thickest parts of the skull.

      • Steve

        That reminds me of an interrogation video I watched (semi) recently. The police detained a young man for quite a while as a murder suspect and didn’t realize until they had almost finished the interview that he had been shot in the face.

    • kinnath

      The slugs went through. Someone would have to find them.

      Of course, the holes left behind are pretty conspicuous as well.

      • dbleagle

  9. Draw Me Like One of Your Tulpae, Jack

    The conclusion of any matter in plenty, perfection and merriment, sorority party, happy issue, victory, fulfilment, solace, healing, wine whiskey club.

  10. Brochettaward

    So what is the story with all the dogs? You had none and then just decided to rent the entire pound?

    • Not Adahn

      It’s a dog park. Dogs appear there as if by magic.

      • Brochettaward

        So how many dogs do you have?

      • Not Adahn

        Just the one. For now.

    • Fourscore

      Where da tall girls ?

  11. Tundra

    Love these. My dogs hate their boots and jackets, so we only use them is miserably shitty weather. Which appears to be pretty rare here.

    Leo: Knight of Wands reversed – Rupture, division, interruption, discord.

    Back to normal, then.

    ITA vs SWE mixed curling chix definitely worth breaking your boycott of the Whuhan Olympics

  13. JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

    I watched a live feed of the protests in Ottawa last night. No violence. No smashing of windows. No graffiti. Fireworks were pointed up, not at people or buildings. Nobody was hiding their identities behind masks. Yet they are described as some horrible threat.

    Yet last summer’s protests were fiery, but mostly peaceful. And the media wonders why nobody trusts them.

    • Zwak, holding the spinal column of JFK wrapped in Marilyn Monroes neglegie

      They are a horrible threat. A threat to liberals.

    • Loveconstitution1789

      Lefties know that dissent is a threat to tyranny.

      Its why the Commies in China are getting Hong Kong bend the knee.

    Lets turn up the screws on the rat colony and see what happens

    Signs are emerging that the stresses and challenges of the pandemic are worsening gun violence in American schools. Researchers who are studying the phenomenon worry it will only get worse.

    Already, campuses have been the site of 141 shootings so far during the 2021-22 school year – more than at any point in the previous decade, according to Everytown for Gun Safety.

    Problems that predated the pandemic – such as inequality and inadequate resources – have grown worse even as COVID-19 has introduced new challenges, like creating such stress that half of teachers say they want to quit or retire early, according to recent surveys by the National Education Association.

    ——-

    Peterson said that while it is impossible to know exactly what is driving increases in violence, researchers agree the decimation of school services is a big contributor.

    “We know that a lot of things that prevented violence, like after-school programs and sports, are still not up and functioning in many places,” she said.

    “The pandemic,” Peterson added, “has shown us that schools are so much more than schools. They really hold our society together and hold our kids together in many ways, from mental health to physical health to food security. And we lost that.”

    Experts pontificate. America listens raptly heats tar, fathers feathers.

    Only in my dreams, unfortunately.

    • Q Continuum

      “it is impossible to know exactly what is driving increases in violence”

      It’s truly a Scooby Doo mystery.

      Oh well, nothing a few more billion thrown at teachers’ unions can’t solve.

    • Gustave Lytton ????

      Just turn them into orphanariums. No reason parents should ever be burdened by the presence of, let alone raising, those little germbreeders.

    • Steve

      I hear a lot of school personnel blaming this pandemic and the response to the pandemic for negative outcomes that were already trending upward before 2020. Each June, as a part of my job, I review at student discipline and academic data for my district to help identify patterns that can be influenced at the school level. From a behavioral perspective, masks, isolation, and quarantines have certainly not helped, but this is a much deeper structural problem that is more related to the article OMWC provided in the morning links than what the pandemic responses have provided.

      • Steve

        That typo will haunt my dreams

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Social media?
        Targeted, intentional intermixing of multifamily units and renters into suburban areas?

        I’m sure there are a few more trends that could be identified, as well.

      • Gustave Lytton ????

        Decreasing parental responsibility for childrearing?

      • Steve

        Social media plays a large part. I haven’t read a ton of empirical research on the subject, but there appears to be at least some correlation between social media use and negative emotional states. I don’t know that we can correctly identify all of the contributing factors because it has amounted to a decades-long evolution in parental expectations and what has become acceptable social behavior. My best guess is that culture has shifted, and that shift has left public education as an institution incapable of meeting its stated and implied missions.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        because it has amounted to a decades-long evolution in parental expectations and what has become acceptable social behavior

        Ha, I snipped a couple sentences on exactly this from my comment. I love it when that happens!

        School discipline is a cogent example of this. The expectations and behavior have shifted so much in the last 70 years that it’s unthinkable to discipline kids in more than a superficial way. Furthermore, i think there are a lot of people who are in favor of stronger discipline in the abstract, but not by the current teachers and administrators. I know I wouldn’t trust the blue hairs at the local elementary school to dole out discipline consistent with my worldview.

      • Steve

        I know that the chances of anyone reading this are slim since there is a new thread up, but I don’t want to stink up the GlibFit thread with my musings on school discipline.

        In fact, I just deleted two paragraphs because this going to be an essay.

  16. The Late P Brooks

    father, gather, whatever.

    Dogs in coats is silly.

    • limey

      I’d like to suggest that if dogs in coats is okay, then why not dogs in hats? There’s a fortune to be made in boutique designer canine millinery.

      • westernsloper

        Cowboy boots and sombreros.

      • Gustave Lytton ????

        Just because they have fur doesn’t mean they don’t get cold in extremes from what they’re used to all day. Or anxiety. Clothing works for both.

      • Don escaped Texas

    Rupture, division, interruption, discord.

    Ah. Normal.

  20. UnCivilServant

    Well, I’ve gotten half of what I need to do today done. All my bulk proteins have been broken down and brining or marinading. Now all I need to do is make sure I take the trash to the curb after 5.

    Now to decide what to do with the rest of the time.

    • Brochettaward

      You should start your own blog. Live Updates With The World’s Most Boring Man.

      • UnCivilServant

        But how would I get you to provide the content?

      • westernsloper

        Ask the idiot to be the first contributor.

      • Hyperion

        Shut up, Broccolitard, we don’t take kindly round here to the likes of you and your constant cravings for penis.

    • Semi-Spartan Dad

      All my bulk proteins have been broken down and brining or marinading.

      Chuck roasts were on sale today for $4/lb so I stocked up. Never mind that $4/lb is higher than the regular price a year or two ago. I’ll break down and seal in vacuum bags for pot roast and Mexican shredded beef.

      Still seeing widespread shortages at the grocery store. No fresh carrots of any type. And the entire frozen french fry aisle was completely empty.

      • Gustave Lytton ????

        In another forums discussing shortages there’s always a reply to “X is gone”, “well, it’s at my store so there’s no shortages”. Trying to whitewash what is clearly happening, more items out of stock, for longer, and the type of items that are rarely in the past. This isn’t just some snowstorm stockup or all of the stuffing and cranberries being gone on day after Thanksgiving.

      • Gustave Lytton ????

        I bit the bullet and bought a whole beef tenderloin at cash and carry. $13 something a pound, but even after trimming, I figure I can do better than what it’s going for retail at my butcher.

      • Timeloose

        I’m marinating chicken with two different flavors.

        Italian with lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper, onion powder, and mustard.

        Mexican with lime juice, garlic, chipotle powder, hot sauce, onion, salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano.

      • Gustave Lytton ????

        I bit the bullet and bought a whole beef tenderloin at cash and carry. $13 something a pound, but even after trimming, I figure I can do better than what it’s going for retail at my butcher now.

        Apparently there’s a surplus of squirrelmeat to be had.

    Sounds about right. At least I’ll get my discord working.

  22. Chipping Pioneer

    Reporting back from Truckistan. Here’s what I saw:

    – smiling people
    – families
    – bouncy castles
    – people of all colours
    – a prayer revival
    – watch your step / icy signs
    – truckers shovelling sidewalks
    – tents with free food / soup / coffee
    – people giving food to truckers
    – garbage bags set up and no garbage on the ground
    – signs about peace and unity
    – 1 rainbow flag, 0 Confederate flags, 0 Nazi flags
    – no signs of violence at all

    • Tundra

      Love it. Go Canucks!

      • Hyperion

        Those Canuckistanians are getting all uppity. I guess Twink of the North is going to have to teach them a lesson.

    • kinnath

      The very definition of insurrection.

      • dbleagle

        If you squint through the prism in just the right way it looks like the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 or the firing on Ft Sumter.

    • UnCivilServant

      This reaffirms my expectations with regards to the behaviour of protesters.

      My first office with the state overlooked ‘protest park’ by the state capital. Groups looking for more free shit or privileges left it trashed. Those protesting against government overreach left it cleaner than they found it.

    • DEG

      Excellent!

      On a related note: The US truckers:

      – There are splitters. Someone is posting on the DerpBook group I’m on about a different, more official (?) trucker group that is on telegram. This group is fake news according to her. I have no idea if she is correct or not. According to her, this group has not released any maps.
      – A map from the group I am on shows the truckers bypassing New Jersey and New York City. The group mods explain this is due to tolls. The tolls for the GWB, NJ Turnpike, and Delaware River bridge would be about $100 per truck. So, skip New Jersey.
      – Some folks have asked about the timing and why it is not earlier. Some people have responded claiming the Canadian truckers took eight months to plan this protest, and the US truckers are trying to do it in a month. I question the claim the Canadian truckers have been planning this for eight months. The Ottawa police seemed to have been unprepared for the truckers. Compare the Ottawa police response with the Toronto police response. The Toronto police were ready, Ottawa police were not. Also look at Coutts, Alberta, where it looks like the RCMP were caught unawares. The Canadian truckers must have had amazing operational security to keep this quiet for this long among that that many truckers. I can buy some incompetence/sympathy for the truckers on the part of the police, but not this much. Also note the Coutts truckers didn’t have any apparent outside legal support. Rebel News found them a lawyer. Maybe the Coutts truckers and the Ottawa truckers are separate groups, but I’m still skeptical of the claim the Canadian truckers have been planning this for eight months.

      I’m out for a bit. I have some errands to run.

      • Chipping Pioneer

        The Ottawa police were unprepared, and they know that they can’t end this themselves. We saw cops from other cities (Kingston, Sudbury, Durham Region). That was the most aggressive thing that we saw — cops walking in large groups through the crowd. Clearly meant to intimidate, maybe even to provoke.

    • westernsloper

      Go Canada!!!!!

    • westernsloper

      Also, I am watching Viva Frei atm and holy shit it looks cold there.

      • DEG

        Yes.

      • Hyperion

        Suthen was sitting on about 1000 acres last I heard. Maybe he should declare it his own country and invite us all down. Hope y’all like gator.

        That’s the same fucking Xe that worked at our local Starbucks. Wife and I debated whether Xe was a guy or gal for weeks and then I was in there alone one time and talked to Xe and told wife, it’s a girl, who wants to be a guy. Then we were in there again and my wife ordered a green tea frappacino and told Xe no sweetener and Xe says ‘Green tea frappacino’ is weet and it set me off. I told Xe ‘Not if she says it’s not’, don’t put any sugar in it, honey, you got that? I was about to make a scene but I guess she got it.

    Boreham Wood FC, which is beating Bournemouth right now, is located in Borehamwood. Which means the soccer club spells better than the government.

    • robc

      For those who dont follow it, Bournemouth is near the top of the Championship, competing for promotion to the Premier League. Boreham Wood is Tier Six, I think. National League South?

      • robc

        Note to sloopy: If Borham holds on, I demand a “The Wood Pops The Cherries” headline in the morning. Or I expect a refund.

      • limey

        Although Bournemouth are the Poppies. There’s still a pun in there somewhere.

      • robc

        Wikipedia agrees with me.

      • limey

        Oh I’m a moron. The poppies is the other Bournemouth team in some local league. Again. I am a dumb.

      • robc

        Tier five, National League. Not as low as I suggested. They are in position to possibly be promoted into League Two.

      • rhywun

        Those matches are the part of the FA Cup I used to like before it was moved off cable.

    More thoughts on Reacher so far:

    -It’s an unusual mix of stereotype and unpredicted plot twists
    -Lee Childs has taken to heart the advice about if he runs out of action to have the door kicked down by a guy with a gun.
    -Venezuela must have been completely depopulated by the end of this series.

      I hope that bitch who demands the government suppress non-violent demonstrations gets curbstomped by the same thugs she wants unleashed. Can’t go to the office, can’t go to the store, can’t go to church. Assuming she’s actually trying to go to those, which I doubt, those cant’s sound awfully familiar… don’t worry bitch, it’s just for two weeks to flatten the authoritarianism.

        Shit, I see Agent Sloper is already on it.

        Oh that bitch is frightening. She would put us in camps if we disagreed with her. Now I am not sure if they broke people, or those people were always like that and now they just get to say it because it is allowed.

        Those people have always been with us. The differnece is the internet. We gave the worst most miserable people in society a huge megaphone. We should have never invented the internet. I’m not sure if we will survive it.

      Klaus needs a word with you, from his lair under a volcano, with his cat, Me. Bigglesworth. Get jabbed, ze veel own nothing and ze veel be happy. If ze does not believe me, you need to talk to his senile eunuch, your president and master.

    She sees not being vaccinated the same as driving drunk. They broke people.

    Everything they don’t like is just like drunk driving. Reckless. Depraved indifference to the safety and tranquility of those around you (them). Why not just put on a blindfold and randomly shoot your machine gun while you’re at it?

    • Hyperion

      They broke people like P Brooks breaks threads. It’s a far right conspiracy.l

    The Ottawa police were unprepared, and they know that they can’t end this themselves. We saw cops from other cities (Kingston, Sudbury, Durham Region). That was the most aggressive thing that we saw — cops walking in large groups through the crowd. Clearly meant to intimidate, maybe even to provoke.

    If those cops were smart (I crack myself up), they’d be walking on eggshells.

    I wonder how many of the rank and file secretly sympathize with the refuseniks.

      We only have one choice. Our awesome American president, who got the most votes in history, has to invade Canada.

    I need lyrics for my new hit ‘The Day that CNN Died’.

      American Lie

      A long, long time ago
      I can still remember
      How that news used to make me realize.

      I knew that if Turner took the shot
      He’d have what no one else had got
      A twenty-four hour enterprise.

      But February gave an answer
      To the leftists it was cancer
      Bad news in the Tower
      Their CEO just glowered

      I can’t remember if I laughed
      When Stelter made another gaffe
      But my interest was raised by half
      The day CNN died

      So, bye-bye, misinformation & lies
      Changed my channel to your panel of idiots and spies
      Your good ol’ board were drinkin’ daquiris with rye
      Singin’ “this’ll be the day that we die…this’ll be the day that we die”

      Did Zucker plan out the leftist view?
      And who are all the people who knew?
      If Nielsen tells you so.

      Do you believe in basic facts?
      Or does reality make you just grow lax?
      Maybe the truth is something you just can’t know.

      Well, I know that you hate the right
      ‘Cause I heard you shout it with all your might
      If I can risk being rude
      You seem quite happy to collude

      Skating, fading, don’t look at the ratings
      Oh no, Toobin’s masturbating
      But I was always anticipating
      The day CNN died.

      I started singin’ bye-bye, misinformation & lies
      Changed my channel to your panel of idiots and spies
      Your good ol’ board were drinkin’ daquiris with rye
      Singin’ “this’ll be the day that we die…this’ll be the day that we die”

      Now, for 10 years, they’ve gone to town
      And grown fat and stupid like a drunken clown
      But that’s not how it used to be

      When Stelter squealed for the poopy-pants
      About a story he got by simple chance,
      He didn’t care about you and me…

      While Zucker played the queen of hearts
      Fox News stole the top of the charts
      And the play was quite perfected
      His resignation was not rejected.

      And while Tapper read a book on Marx
      PR said is was just a lark
      And the tried to keep us in the dark
      The day CNN died

      I started singin’ bye-bye, misinformation & lies
      Changed my channel to your panel of idiots and spies
      Your good ol’ board were drinkin’ daquiris with rye
      Singin’ “this’ll be the day that we die…this’ll be the day that we die”
