I haven’t been reading horoscopes lately — big chunks of the future are clear enough, and the idea of the providing negative news was just NOT of interest. Plus I don’t really believe in them in the first place.

But I read Free Will Astrology just now, and it was SOOOOOO appropriate for this week that I had to laugh and include it here:

Sagittarius, Week of 1/19: This should not be a race-down-an-eight-lane-superhighway kind of week,
Sagittarius. From what I can tell, it’s got to be an
exploratory-meander-down-a-bunch-of-dirt-roads kind of week. In order
to be exposed to what’s important for you to learn, you’ll have to take
the scenic route through back country. Please don’t be in a hurry.
Regard the muddy patches and potholes as your allies. It’s high time to
slow down and smell the cow manure, which might be more accurately
referred to as fertilizer.

Heh. I guess the stars are aligned on Smudge not coming early. However much I may equate that  with things that smell like manure.
