Statistics, gotta love it.

We passed the three million mark while I was out.
Now at 3,000,978.

That means over a thousand people viewed the thread in the last couple of hours
and went away disappointed as there was no party.

I guess we have to postpone it for two more weeks when we have our fourth anniversary.

Unless everyone shows up at the last minute after all.

Here is the specific location where the rain is needed.

Got word that Eastern Washington did get rain last night and the winds calmed down. Not out of the woods yet, but much needed relief.

Village seems to be a good place to copy this ... (observer is a fellow PA member if you don't recognize the avatar name)

Today, my dear friend observer has to undergo a major surgery.

I advised him to enter the narcosis singing, so he would come out in a positive mood. I know it's working.

Okay blues lovin' Avalonians ... thoughts, prayer, healing energy or perhaps some good music vibes for observer.

Transiten, I wanted to thank you for this beautiful music. I've put it on repeat and it has played the better part of yesterday and today on my computer. It is music that lifts one up closer to heaven, as you say.

This kind of thing brings more and more respect for Markus (Notch). (creator of Minecraft)

His recent tweets and this specific one:

"I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of assholes that made me sell minecraft again."

Meaning, I'm guessing, he would try and be a 'Musk' himself, but that the assholes come in droves to cross swords with him, if he tries. The sociopaths and the psychopaths are EXTREMELY prevalent in the world's control structure.

Which is why if humans want to have a functional human world, they are going to have to wake up and well..wean out....that specific form of genetic combination, a genetic combination which has become the weak point in human evolution. Not the strong point, but the weak point.

The sagittarian blind faith in a positive outcome,
a child that refuses to grow up.
Cheering, cheering up, but who will cheer him up
Waterproofing the clown's make up, and
Good to go.

ASTROLOGICAL HEADS-UP
from Astrologer Salvador Russo

CRITICAL ALERT FOR TODAY!!!
" In approximately 24 hours Saturn will enter the final degree of the House of Scorpio. My next words are written with the pure intention of saving lives. The dark truth is that Saturn's position at 29° Scorpio can influence certain people to commit suicide and other forms of extremely tragic behavior. Saturn's influence at 29° Scorpio can cause people to feel worthless, hopeless, miserable, irrationally fearful, and despondent to the extreme.

If you know anyone who is in a very "sensitive" psychological state please keep a very close eye on them. Watch for signs of suicide and if you are so willing, act to prevent tragedy. This influence will pass on September 18th when Saturn enters Sagittarius but until then the heightened potential for these outcomes is real. Spiritual attacks, medical misfortunes, mystery pains, and incurable illnesses are also a part of Saturn's effects at this degree.

My best advice against this energy is to receive daily doses of sunlight, to pray often, to ensure that you receive proper nutrition, to enjoy uplifting music, and to use crystals to raise your vibration. I've learned that the higher your vibration is (mind, body, astral), the harder it is for malefic energies to effect you. I would like to recommend four crystals in particular to help counteract Saturn's influence at 29° Scorpio: Sugilite, Danburite, Rhodochrosite, and Emerald.

Again, this message is not to scare anyone. Fear is not a part of my work. I just want everyone to be on alert for what this energy can do to unconscious, unsuspecting people. Knowledge is power so if we know in advance we are empowered to prevent tragedy and save life. If you see someone teetering on the brink you'll know the influence at work. Do your best within reason to help. This influence will pass. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Despite this transient energy remember that September, on the whole, will be a powerfully positive month. We have the partial solar eclipse at 20° Virgo on the 13th, Apollo, the mythic deity, enters Scorpio on the 27th, and we have the final "blood moon" at 4° Aries also on the 27th. So believe me that positive transformation and evolution is just around the corner! In the mean time be watchful of your brothers and sisters. God blesses those who save lives quite handsomely..."

Can I, pretty please with brown sugar on it, have a Madagascar Southeastern Africa Monkey, from this day forward to have and to adore to my heart's pitty-pattering content?

Here is more on the apparently "horrendous" astrological situation, said to affect everyone in the world. The operant word in this below is DINGLEBERRY.

"Saturn at the last few minutes of Scorpio: in less cultured and genteel circles, the term would be "dingleberry".
Despite its vulgar connotation in vernacular parlance it refers quite accurately to a last remaining but persistent detail, issue, tragedy, loss or problem that continues to hang on despite all efforts to remove it and move forward.
Because this is affecting everyone in the entire world without exception whenever you see anyone---a co-worker, a kid behind a store counter, a rabid revolutionary, Queen of England, or even or a candidate for a high office, don't be bashful.
Walk right up to them, stick out your hand and say,
"I'm terribly sorry about your dingleberry, I know exactly how you feel." "

Apollo, the mythic deity, enters Scorpio on the 27th,

What is Apollo astrologically speaking? In Greek mythology, Phoebus Apollo is linked to the Sun, but that can't be right.

This article by astrologer Liz Greene might shed some light, araucaria.
To bring the focus to Apollo at this somber time might not be a bad idea....

Here is one paragraph

"The Muses Leaving Their Father Apollo to Go and Enlighten the World" by Gustave Moreau.

Depression, loss of the will to live, feeling dominated by inner compulsions, too great a dependency on others, identification with the collective resulting in a sense of not being real unless others are there to provide a mirror - all these experiences may result if we do not express the Sun in the horoscope. And expressing the Sun means making room in one's life for the values and needs of the Sun-sign, involving oneself actively in the sphere of life represented by its natal house, and honouring the needs of the planets which aspect it. When we are cut off from the functions symbolised by the mythic Apollo, we experience passivity, powerlessness, meaninglessness, and loss of confidence. We need others to constantly affirm who we are, and we are frightened of having any individual feeling or opinion which might isolate us from the collective around us. No single planet in the birth chart is itself whole, and the Sun too may be overemphasised at the expense of instinctual needs and at the expense of others; Apollo is not the only god. But it is perhaps more common to meet individuals who have too little, rather than too much, Sun. As astrologers we need to ask ourselves why any individual should not be able to relate to the Sun in the horoscope.

Here is something to cheer us all up:

An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie
