Another reason why I (heart) Snoop Dogg

from Rob Breszny's Free Will Astrology:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The coming year will be a time to think big -- maybe even bigger than you've dared to think in over a decade. That doesn't mean you should be rash, reckless, or unrealistic. On the contrary. Your expansive dreams should be carefully wrought and anchored in a detailed understanding of how things actually work. As an example of what not to do, learn from Snoop Dogg. The rapper wanted to rent all 62 square miles of the small European nation of Liechtenstein so he could film his music video there. Liechtenstein authorities turned him down, but only because his team didn't ask far enough in advance. Had he been better organized, the whole country could have been his.

We have survived to celebrate the shortest day of sunlight of the year - the Winter Solstice is today, my friends! Starting tomorrow, we inch our way back to more sunlight!!!!! YAYAYAYAYYAYA!!!

My roommate's daughter and son-in-law are staying over and they graciously woke me up to watch the equinox at 1:30 this morning, which I was very happy to see.

More about the equinox and the eclipse here.

a funny bird

Sentence structure is a funny bird. When I read the headline below, I thought - why is the government studying how people got injured while having sex:

QuickStats: Percentage of Adults Who Had Migraines or Severe Headaches, Pain in the Neck, Lower Back, or Face/Jaw, by Sex

Then I realized that they meant male vs female.
