This week's Free Will Astrology

LIBRA:
When my daughter was in second grade, her class did a theatrical production of "Noah's Ark." In a stroke of ingenious casting, the teacher chose the rowdiest, strangest boy to play the part of God. By turns wry, evasive, histrionic, tender, and unpredictable -- sometimes all those at once -- he was an effervescent alternative to the stilted portraits of the Supreme Being offered by the major religions. Your assignment, Libra, should you choose to accept it, is to be inspired by the wild boy portraying God. How? Celebrate the divine beauty of your idiosyncratic qualities. Tune in to the spiritual power of your boisterous playfulness. Imagine a benevolent deity who has a hell of a lot of soul.


That sounds kind of fun.

Monthly Prediction - May 2002 (by Mr. Cainer)

LIBRA
You are, of course, free to do as you choose. You are also free to do as you are told. Nobody can stop you from taking orders, from accepting suggestions, from bowing to social pressure or from feeling obliged to agree with others. You have a perfect right to be acquiescent, even subservient. You can feel as guilty, as threatened, as helpless and as timid as you wish. You can even, if you want to, feel proud of manifesting such qualities. So go ahead. But remember this month, that you are also quite free to kick up one heck of a fuss. Repeat after me please; 'Up with this, I will not put'. Now say it again - and mean it this time. You know what you've had enough of. You know what you're sick of missing out on. Somewhere in you though, a little voice keeps saying 'Ah but, perhaps I DESERVE to suffer.' Tell that voice to shut up. Of course you can't expect everything to go your way from now on but you can reasonably and feasibly set about ensuring a better deal than your current one. And that, all on its own, represents a significant improvement.

Goslings!

Saw the first of this year's Canada geese fuzzballs- no more than a day or so old, I'd judge. The adults are obnoxious, but the babies are so darned cute!

The deer are still mainly in hiding locally, but might be seeing them again soon in the evenings. Fawns are getting old enough to move quickly, so it's safer.


Got up and out a bit today- a whole whopping half hour at the office to help find some six year old paperwork. (Found it, too.) Just that much left me completely exhausted, shaky, and sweating. Sad.

Didn't call the doctor this morning because my throat is feeling much better; still have the disgusting cough, but that always does tend to linger. :/ Hopefully the rest is just typical viral stuff, that only needs another day or five of rest and fluids.

Since it seems Shrub and his people knew there were hijacking plans, why the hell didn't they do something about airport security last summer?

Trying to excuse it by claiming that "... the president and his advisers had no way of knowing that suicide hijackers would use the planes as missiles..." doesn't cut it. They knew there was a greatly increased risk of hijackings (in which people tend to die), and did nothing to prevent it.

Oh, wait. If they had, there'd be no deaths giving them an excuse to start a "war", or to get the whole "homeland security" thing going. Without those, people might actually pay attention to things like a corrupt Attorney General, or the Enron mess- and those just wouldn't be good for the upcoming mid-term elections, or the 2004 campaign.
