Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
Ah the Yuletide guilt……I can’t even enjoy a little glass of eggnog without knowing my doctor is going to lecture me.
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is Gray and the incense is Sandalwood.
Tonight Hanukkah ends.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Seven of Cups: delusion. Don’t judge a book by its cover can work both ways. A pretty façade can cover corruption within. If you reach for the stars you had better have a good foundation or you will fall flat on your face. Trust in your own abilities and not those of others. You may have fallen in with the wrong crowd.

Astrologically:
Don’t forget the Solstice in on Monday.
The Moon enters Aquarius at 5:39 AM EST. The bad news is old flames show up. The good news is you really don’t care. The hurt has healed. You might even survive your family. Just keep the playful teasing to minimum if you want to avoid hurt feelings.
The Morning brings gift but they have strings attached. This afternoon the solution to problems seems obvious so act on your ideas.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
Be honest with yourself.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is:
When the Cat’s Away: “Enjoy your freedom.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
Ffaff the Ffooter is running around. In the summer, we seldom fear old Ffaff. To wear sandals, we take pretty good care of our feet, but come winter…oh boy. The boots cover a multitude of sins and Ffaff waits till night and sneaks under the covers and checks our ragged nails and bedraggled cuticles. I just wish he would wash his hands because next thing you know, you’ve got the itchies between the toesies. Or, he picks up both feet at once and you land on your lower posterior getting a puzzled look from Ffaff as you curse him. He can fly, you can’t.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 8 and the Element is Earth. The Dragon finds conflict today. Today is NOT an auspicious day for haircuts, medical procedures, writing, gambling, construction or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I now choose to communicate freely and openly everything that needs to be said. I free my mind from all limiting thoughts and I am now at peace with myself and with others. I no longer worry about what other people think. I know that I am loved and totally supported by the Universe.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Although parts of South Florida were flooded, we are high and hence just soggy. One thing I did when we first moved in and it flooded horribly was rent a tiller. Yup, I had George till the swale and we have never had a flooding problem since. My poor lettuce is beaten down but I bet it is enjoying the cool temps. My basil looked like someone had shot it. The vines were all hanging down or on the ground. Things generally looked beat up. Amid all the destruction, my Cineraria’s (Mother-in-law’s tongue) delicate little blooms perfumed the evening air. Plants will survive even if we don’t.
I didn’t realize when I got older and got out of bed I was going to sound like a breakfast cereal…snap….crackle….pop….
It seems the Copenhagen greenhouse effects conference is not going so well. We have refused to give any really large pledge and thus China claims emerging nation status. How exactly does one of the oldest civilizations do that with a straight face?
Anyway, I was thinking, again. When I would take a break at the shop I used to watch the CAMS. I would see the same cars going in and out of the neighborhood 10 or more times a days. I had an ex-friend who ran the 10,000 mile warranty out on her car the first month and only one less than 2,000 mile trip was in that. One day I absolutely refused to get in the car with her and go anywhere. I was just plain tired of the constant running around. She was “bored”. How much gas and greenhouse emissions could we save and reduce if we just planned our trips? I have been waiting all week to go to JoAnn’s Fabrics until I could justify it with a trip the pet store, Home Depot and maybe Costco. It makes a nice circle. I buy in bulk so I won’t have to run to the store. Any trip to get water includes Western Meats (they share a parking lot) and maybe BJ’s. Some days I never leave the house. There is nothing I can’t wait on until I have a bigger trip, more stops and more things to get. I don’t order delivery, I will pick up if it is on the way home. Target is grouped with Michaels and Dollar Store on the same corners. All my trips are designed for efficiency. Even with the trip way up in Boca for the event, I have barely used a half a tank of gas at this point and Vanwitch barely gets 9 MPG on the city streets. Yet, I have plenty of everything I need. You want to help the planet? Plan, folks, plan…..
Every once in a while someone, usually a Republican, can’t figure out why people are in such a mess. Well, and I didn’t know this, many people took telecommuting jobs with companies that were in states other than the ones they lived in. Since they had avoided the “independent contractor” trap, they thought they had benefits. Then they got laid off and tried to collect unemployment compensation. Well, the state they live in says, “NO!” and bounces them to the state the company is located in which then bounces them back and they are feeling like a ping pong ball. Some people laid off months ago are just now getting one of the states to accept the ball and pay them. Then there were the people who fell into the independent contractor trap not realizing that all that extra money from paying your own taxes wasn’t extra. First off, you get to pay all your taxes at a higher rate at least quarterly in advance. Secondly, you do not qualify for unemployment compensation. Those people really got screwed over because they didn’t understand the rules. Lastly, whereas I hear of people in other states renegotiating their home loans at rate of 3.5%, less than I originally got my mortgage some 40 years ago, in Florida, all you hear is foreclosure. We have a Republican governor and heavy local Republican government in SOFL who refused to play ball with Washington. They were all screaming Obama was to generous with Fidel Castro. The real reason is though people are losing their homes right and left, those with money are buying them left and right because property in Florida will always sell, eventually. Meanwhile, everyone below the upper 6 % with all the money get screwed. And lastly, it doesn’t matter what kind of credit you have, the credit card companies are screwing you over. Most interest rates are 28% or more. At 25%, in four years you have not only paid off the original debt but paid it double. At 33%, you pay it double in three years. Most of you have been paying on the debt for at least 5 years. You paid the original amount off years ago. Every payment you make now is pure profit for the credit card companies and always remember, they charge the merchant at least 3% for every transaction or 3 cents on every dollar you charge right up front. So in reality at 28% interest, they are really making at least 31% or 31 cents on every dollar they loan you the first year and 28 cents every year there after. Wouldn’t you like a job that paid like that? I know I would. I can’t wait for the day they want my business back….cackle…cackle…guess where you can put your credit card and I‘ll even help you out with it???? This week’s cancelled account will be with Roaman’s with whom I have had an account for over 10 years. Why? They are going to charge me 1.00 a month to send me a bill and they actually think I am going to pay it. Silly boys.

Today is the Islamic New Year.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

This afternoon, you will be surprised to find out how someone really feels about you. A secret admirer comes out of the woodwork.

Here is a little article about Christmas Hams:
http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideOpinion.htm?f=2009/december/17/connieveneracion.isx&d=/2009/december/17
Now if you read it, you have discovered the ham is not Christian. However, they left out the old Druid tradition. A pig is fed hallucinogenic mushrooms for about a months. Pigs have a the unique ability to trap poisons in their fat cells and not be affected by them. Thus, they can eat almost anything with no ill effects. When slaughtered, the Druid was rubbed in the fat and the alkaloids were absorbed through the skin. Then the Druid was brought out to do predictions for the coming year. Personally, I just have a nice ham dinner for New Years and call it even.
I spend the night suffering with a headache from the whack I gave myself on the freezer door. That thing is dangerous. This isn’t the first time I did this. I think I came close to giving myself a concussion. One problem is that my scalp is stretched so tight from the operation that it cannot give when hit and that causes a lot of pain. The headache is finally gone and I can do a few things.
BUT, it will not stop raining. We are still under a flash flood advisory. Tomorrow is guaranteed to be worse as the fronts collide and we then have wind with the rain. At one point in Palm Beach County, the same amount of rain was dropped in an hour as in three days from the last hurricane. They got over 4 inches of rain in an hour. It has just come down in buckets all day. Then, it is supposed to turn moderately cool and by that I mean 50’s at night. Where I am, we might hit 40’s. In the bathroom with the windows open, the humidity is so high I think I should be wearing a bathing suit. This is definitely NOT the area to be in for global warming but I can think of no way to get out.
Napoleon has been singing all evening. The other cats have figured out he gets them into trouble and thrown out of the room. So, they are all avoiding him. He is sure they aren’t that smart and I told them. All in all, I have cats with the rain jitters and lots of stuff hitting the floor.
The new boxes came in today! They are beautiful and I can’t wait to get them up on the web site. Unfortunately, rain makes the internet misbehave and I am scared of losing my whole web page during one of its dips in service.
Much to my total shock, the only bank or credit card company that has treated me decently is….. Are you ready?….. Bank of America. Every other company has raised interest rates. I paid Chase off last month and got a bill for 1.59. Okay, how do you pay a bill off on time and still owe them money? Most people would have thrown that new bill in garbage thinking it was just a zero balance statement and in a few months, you would have $29.00 or more late fees and be turned over to a collection agency. So watch Chase Bank. I know they and AMEX are advertising hard. That’s because every customer that could get out, did. They treat you like crap. They lie to your face and then deny the whole thing when you question all the fees you just got charged. AMEX will claim you have no limits on an account and then your card bounces and they declare you do have a limit but, they will not tell you what it is. Just pay cash. Neither of these companies is worth dealing with. Believe me. As a Merchant, I am cancelling AMEX and no longer accepting their cards. They want to charge me 7.95 a month to take their card and I see maybe two charges a year on their card. That’s how much people hate them.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Ah the insanity of it all. I was really hurting today where the doctor cut into my scalp but I decided that was not stopping me from doing the allotted task for the day. I was going to clean the veggie drawers and the bottom of the refrigerator. I almost survived the task when I straightened up and whacked myself on the freezer door right in the spot where he carved on me. I couldn’t even cuss it hurt so much. I am nauseous it hurts so much. One of the days I will find the man, and it was a man because no woman is this stupid, who put the freezer on the top if the refrigerator because you spend all your time opening the freezer and I am going to beat him to death with a freezer door. Yes, I know they have them on the bottom now if you have a life savings to spend, but they came out exactly two weeks after I had to buy mine because the old one died.
And that is my story with technology. Whatever I buy, the better version will come out two weeks, or two minutes if it is electronics, after I make the purchase. It is like the cats. The Goddess always sends me the old, the mentally challenged and the demented ones.
I got one drawer cleaned and except for 4 tomatoes, I am out of veggies. Thus, I must go to Western Meats and replenish my supply of salad makings. By the way, I don’t know about the expensive ones, but the Hefty green bags really work. I think I will see if I can get the drawer back in the fridge without killing myself.
Well, I got it back in but it didn’t go so well. I almost passed out.
I finished Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Born of Night last night. It is a good book. You will find the alternative universe engrossing. The action is fast paced. I do love her writing. Here’s a quote from the book to get you tempted:
“We’re not the ones who are sick, mu Tara (my lady). With us - the predators - you know what we will do and why we do it. What we’re capable of. We make no bones about it and we wear the uniform so that you can see us coming. The who are sickening are the cowards who masquerade as sheep. The ones who lull you into trusting them and smile at your face while they plot your downfall behind your back for any number of psychotic reasons. The friends who turn on you out of jealousy and greed. Who try to ruin you for no reason at all. They are the ones who should be put down.”….. “And they are the ones who are truly sickening.”

Today’s Lo Shu Number is 2 and the Element is Wood. The Ox finds conflict today but the Sheep and Monkey have a good day. Today is not an auspicious day for construction.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “Any difficulty I might have with people in my life tells me that I have not succeeded in communicating through ordinary means.

Everything is working out quickly, easily and successfully.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Have you ever noticed how when something goes wrong on the computer, you either hit the keys harder or really click hard on the mouse? It has no effect, but you keep doing it.
I have the most full proof security system on the internet. Even if you hijack my password file, it is pretty darned useless. You see, I never figured out how to correct it, so just about every stored password or user ID has a spelling error or something more fatal. I just automatically correct it when it fills them at the pages. Some times being dyslexic has advantages.
My headache started at 1 AM and remained until 5:30 PM. It is times like this when I get the sinus, migraine, tension and cluster headache all in one that the guillotine seems like a viable medical procedure. The FDA can shove their recommended limits on aspirin today. All of this was precipitated by me hitting the cook instead of timer button on the microwave. I am going to buy a timer. This is the second time. The first time there was nothing in the microwave. This time there was and I have a horrible mess to clean up, if it actually ever works again. I am still scrapping and cleaning and trying to get the smoke out of the house. I do worry about the cats. None of them panicked. They should panic.
Folks, this new Medicare provision to replace the public option has me very worried. So far I have been dealing with two of the biggest insurance companies, who collect obscene premiums on George and I and pay out as little as is possible. There is a box on every one of the claim forms where you state you are not eligible for any other medical insurance, and that includes Medicare. You may never have seen that box if you just go in and pay your co payment. You checked it at the beginning of the year, and are legally bound to notify them of any change to the provision. George is going to get bumped out of the private insurance when he turns 65, but with this new “gift” from the Conservatives, we may both find ourselves on medicare next year and it will not pay the expenses. Medicare doesn’t negotiate fees with doctors to get the lowest price, they just pay a customary fixed fee. No one wants to take them because it takes 90 days in most cases to get paid. Without the insurance company negotiating fees with doctors, that is the end of co payments. That means if the doctor charges 225.00 for a visit and Medicare pays on a sliding scale of 65.00 for the visit and your insurance company considers 100.00 a customary cost, they are going to pay 40% (now everyone will be out of plan) of the 35.00 difference and you are going to owe the doctor over 135.00 instead of your current 35.00 co payment. The Insurance Companies are going to be elated. They just cleared their roles of clients over 56 and cut their expenses probably by 50%. Businesses will be getting a nice break on their insurance premiums and you are going to be screwed. This is one gift horse that requires you read the bill and then read your policy’s fine, fine print. Now, if they decide to be even more generous and include children in Medicaide, guess who will be at the free clinic instead of their pediatrician? I’ll give you a hint. It won’t be your Congressperson’s kids. Never let a committee who is in the hip pocket of the insurance companies write a medical reform package because you can be assured the two people not screwed will be the insurance companies and the congresspeople. They are counting on the fact that 95% of the people with insurance have never read their policies and don’t understand them so the bill looks just peachy. Oh, I was really happy for about 4 hours after I read it and then I went; WAIT A MINUTE. This is bad, very bad. I remember reading that Medicare provision on the insurance policy and George is nowhere near his birthday and he is being inundated with Medicare plans. I think they figure it will take 6 months to untangle what you are supposed to have and guess where they are getting his name and address? Yup, our lovely insurance company is giving that information out. They already have one foot on his backside and the door open.
Now before you local Tea Bagger tells you this is all wonderful and won‘t affect you, ask yourself one question; Has this person read my insurance policy?

According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is White and the incense is
Bay Laurel.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.

Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
The New Moon is at 7:02 AM EST in 24Sagittarius40.
The morning is fuzzy around the edges. Be very careful doing anything that requires precision and that includes driving.

You can’t do much late tonight but you can plan the changes you intend to make
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
It is very hard to look inside yourself and see your true motives when they are less than sterling.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is:
Sophisticat: “Steep yourself in culture. Learn one new thing today.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
The Singer of Courage is about today. Courage is not the absence if fear. It is the ability to do what is right through the fear. It is the ability to do what is right when there is nothing in it for you and no one is watching. That is the mark of true courage.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 2 and the Element is Wood. The Ox finds conflict today but the Sheep and Monkey have a good day. Today is not an auspicious day for construction.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “Any difficulty I might have with people in my life tells me that I have not succeeded in communicating through ordinary means. I ask the Supreme Being to send Light in this situation. I stop talking about this problem. I know that Divine Love is now in action. Everything is working out quickly, easily and successfully.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Have you ever noticed how when something goes wrong on the computer, you either hit the keys harder or really click hard on the mouse? It has no effect, but you keep doing it.
I have the most full proof security system on the internet. Even if you hijack my password file, it is pretty darned useless. You see, I never figured out how to correct it, so just about every stored password or user ID has a spelling error or something more fatal. I just automatically correct it when it fills them at the pages. Some times being dyslexic has advantages.
My headache started at 1 AM and remained until 5:30 PM. It is times like this when I get the sinus, migraine, tension and cluster headache all in one that the guillotine seems like a viable medical procedure. The FDA can shove their recommended limits on aspirin today. All of this was precipitated by me hitting the cook instead of timer button on the microwave. I am going to buy a timer. This is the second time. The first time there was nothing in the microwave. This time there was and I have a horrible mess to clean up, if it actually ever works again. I am still scrapping and cleaning and trying to get the smoke out of the house. I do worry about the cats. None of them panicked. They should panic.
Folks, this new Medicare provision to replace the public option has me very worried. So far I have been dealing with two of the biggest insurance companies, who collect obscene premiums on George and I and pay out as little as is possible. There is a box on every one of the claim forms where you state you are not eligible for any other medical insurance, and that includes Medicare. You may never have seen that box if you just go in and pay your co payment. You checked it at the beginning of the year, and are legally bound to notify them of any change to the provision. George is going to get bumped out of the private insurance when he turns 65, but with this new “gift” from the Conservatives, we may both find ourselves on medicare next year and it will not pay the expenses. Medicare doesn’t negotiate fees with doctors to get the lowest price, they just pay a customary fixed fee. No one wants to take them because it takes 90 days in most cases to get paid. Without the insurance company negotiating fees with doctors, that is the end of co payments. That means if the doctor charges 225.00 for a visit and Medicare pays on a sliding scale of 65.00 for the visit and your insurance company considers 100.00 a customary cost, they are going to pay 40% (now everyone will be out of plan) of the 35.00 difference and you are going to owe the doctor over 135.00 instead of your current 35.00 co payment. The Insurance Companies are going to be elated. They just cleared their roles of clients over 56 and cut their expenses probably by 50%. Businesses will be getting a nice break on their insurance premiums and you are going to be screwed. This is one gift horse that requires you read the bill and then read your policy’s fine, fine print. Now, if they decide to be even more generous and include children in Medicaide, guess who will be at the free clinic instead of their pediatrician? I’ll give you a hint. It won’t be your Congressperson’s kids. Never let a committee who is in the hip pocket of the insurance companies write a medical reform package because you can be assured the two people not screwed will be the insurance companies and the congresspeople. They are counting on the fact that 95% of the people with insurance have never read their policies and don’t understand them so the bill looks just peachy.

12-15-09
Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is Maroon and the incense is Bayberry.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is Six of Wands: Triumph. Calmness and rationality allow you to view inner conflict dispassionately and doing so, solve it. Triumphing over these conflicts allows you to focus and to succeed.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
This will be a romantic week and an excellent time for a psychic reading.
We are aspect free until evening when we have a lovely, social Venus aspect highlighting truth and fairness in romance. Energy starts building at nightfall and people are more realistic about their abilities and goals. It will be a pleasant day and night all around.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
Try to enjoy the magic of nature today. I know a lot of you are buried in white, cold sticky stuff, but it really is pretty…from the inside of a warm house.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is:
Big Cat: “You’re full of awesome power. Anything is possible.”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
The Faery Godmother is about. Yes, you really do have one and yes, she does grant wishes.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 3 and the Element is wood. The Rat finds conflict today. Today is an Auspicious day for medical procedures and gambling. It is NOT and auspicious day for haircuts, writing or births. Funny, I always considered birth the biggest gamble of all.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I acknowledge the light within every human being. I love, respect and accept each person as the manifestation of the Divine Will on earth. In so doing, I allow those around me to manifest the best of their being. Together we bring healing, beauty and freedom into our world for the highest good of all.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
There is not much to report today. I did not sleep last night. When your right shoulder hurts, the left side of your head and your back, getting comfortable is impossible no matter how good the bed. I finally got 3 hours sleep this afternoon and that refreshed me enough to get a little work done.
Gee I hope I can find the book I was going to review tonight. It turns out Flame Microwit is a book eater. Two of my paperbacks have a huge whole in the corner of the cover and would be missing the corner had I not grabbed her. She targets book. Well, that revoked her invitation into the bedroom. Okay, got it.
Tempted by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast is A House of Night novel. They have all been well written with a tight plot line. However, you are going to feel like she forgot to write the last chapter or the last half of the book. Whereas all the previous books were self contained stories, leading into another story line but not leaving you dangling, this one smacks of an end of TV season show as you wait to see who shot JR. I mean, you turn the page and start wondering if the publisher forgot the last chapter. No point in shaking the book, it won’t fall out.

Forecast and Faery Finder
By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit
According to Llewellyn’s Spell-a-Day Almanac, today’s color is lavender and the incense is hyssop.
FORECASTS:
Deck: Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea.
Today’s Tarot Card is the Moon: gratification. Take some time and take a really good look at your life style. It may be damaging to yourself and others. Moodiness and constant waffling is not cute, it is confusing. Grow up and take responsibility.
Astrological Source: Llewellyn’s 2009 Daily Planetary Guide.
Astrologically:
The Moon enters Sagittarius at 7:25 AM EST.
People are a little too stressed and serious to take much poking fun this week.
It is a good week for sales and electronic forms of income.
This afternoon, look for a way around problems and limitations and you will find it.
Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say:
Happily ever after just doesn’t seem possible today but keep the faith, tomorrow is another day.
Today’s Cat Comfort Card is:
The Cat’s Pajamas: “You’re the bee’s knees today. Enjoy!”
Deck: The Fairies’ Oracle by Brian Froud & Jessica MacBeth
Today’s Faery Finder is on the lookout for:
Gawtcha, the out of the blue Fae, is out today. You have to watch him because just when you think you have a handle on things, up he pops and gets you. He is the unexpected and the holidays are his favorite time so move carefully, surely today and tie up all loose ends or you may find he has tied you up in them.
Today’s Lo Shu Number is 4 and the Element is water. The Boar finds conflict today but the Horse has ease. Today is NOT an auspicious day for haircuts, medical procedures, writing, gambling, construction or births.
Today’s Message from the Universe is: “I am now ready to live a courageous life committed to the complete manifestation of the Divine Plan on Earth. Neither difficult task nor fear can stop me. I go forward with power and enthusiasm for God is with me and supports my every effort.” Annie Marquier creating a world of peace one thought at a time.
COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
I woke up with a Fibro attack and I swear even my aura was hurting. I am better now but the cats have been very quiet. George had a massive sinus attack so nothing much has been moving or doing around this place today.
I finished reading Divine Misdemeanors by Laurell K Hamilton. It is better than the convoluted previous ones as Meredith is now back in LA and out of the Faery Mound.
Every once in a while people ask me about doing magic at the holidays. There are two schools of thought, as usual, but the one thing both agree upon is that it is a very unsettled time in the universe. On the one hand, when things are in a state of flux, it is easier to push them to a desired outcome. On the other hand, it also makes the outcome more variable. So my answer is always, do so at your own risk.

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER
Today Boogaboo learned to sing. Singing cats and headaches do not mix. Fiona has once again proven she can shred any piece of paper in existence, so if you need any confetti, she is available for hire. Flame has totally come out of her shell and I can’t figure out how to stuff her back in it. She haunts the kitchen counter next to stove standing on her hind legs on the water fountain reservoir. I have to get you a picture of it. She is a cheese eater and is fond of the expensive sharp cheddar cheese. I would get a kitten with expensive tastes. The rest of the time she spends dangling out of the cat log in the hallway collecting a toll as you pass. No toll, you get claws.
The weather man promised it would clear up for the last half of the day. He lied. It has rained all day. At one point I couldn’t even see the front fence. This has been one wet and dreary day and from the looks of things, the temperature didn’t even drop. It is still 77 except now it is about 100% humidity! Welcome to SOFL which is apparently the place not to be during global warming.
Remember the grandmother I told you about last night and my comment about a war zone. Let me explain because the reporter, being thoroughly disgusted, made certain we understood. Even though they had a crystal clear video of the two men trying to break into the woman’s car with her grandson and purse inside, because they didn’t succeed in either stealing the purse, the kid or the car, the police are not even looking for them. Face the facts folks. If it is a juvenile that whacks you in the head and takes your wallet, they have a get out of jail free card and no record. If it is an adult, they will be on the street just a little slower. By the time anything is done, they have a record pages long and someone is dead because the police only have the time and money to go after serious crimes like murder and violent rape. You are on your own.
In another story on the pagan wires today, a man in Alabama claiming to be a Druid worshiping the Goddess Epona repeatedly raped an underage girl over a period of time. The reporter was pretty disgusted, too. He made a point of pointing out the guy was in jail, if he hadn’t bonded out by now. Just as a point of record, no Druid rites involve sex and we do not worship the Goddess Epona, but I sure hope one her minions kicks him in the family jewels.
