When this drops I’ll be at Hurricane UT performing the drama-free, well-paid job of Range Master at USPSA Race Gun Nationals (Zone 3). This is stretching me quite a bit in all sorts of ways – flying with guns, restricted gear at majors but most importantly putting myself out as “that guy.” I love being part of a team. I love doing a good job. Range Master is a much more visible job than I typically go for. But holy fuck I HATE being subordinate to an incompetent, so getting this cert will help with that.
This is an unusual arrangement this week, having an outer planet being a double focus. Unfortunately it’s Saturn retrograde, which is both vague and potentially problematic. For those of you who haven’t been paying attention, Saturn retrograde has the double-meaning of “beginning/planting” and “worst, most terrible catastrophe imaginable.” Fortunately, it seems that the other planets involve and their location within the zodiac lean us more towards the “beginning” interpretation. Specifically, this looks like a super-auspicious time to get married or move in with your sweetie. Sorry I didn’t mention this six months ago, but it’s really your fault for not subscribing to the premium tier.
The Cards say this is going to be a BIG week. Such events, many drama.
Scorpio: Knight of Cups reversed – Trickery, artifice, subtlety, swindling, duplicity, fraud.
Sagittarius: 10 of Swords reversed – Pyrrhic victory, turning defeat into triumph,
Capricorn: The Devil reversed – Evil, fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness.
Aquarius: 6 of Wands – Triumph, great news, great hope, the attitude that creates self-fulfilling prophecies.
Pisces: 8 of Coins – Work, employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill in craft and business.
Aries: Strength – *flex* This is the best draw in the deck. All good things about being strong – physical, health, moral, mental — any/all fall under this.
Taurus: The Magician reversed – When reversed, this is the bad side of being smart or self-absorbed. Also it implies that you’ll need the services of a doctor or other skilled person because things are going wrong.
Gemini: 7 of Cups – Temptations, sales pitches, illusions, temporary achievements.
Cancer: Justice – It means Justice. Generally a good thing, but maybe you’re doing something you shouldn’t?
Leo: The Fool – Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment. Back when the tarot was compiled, these things were seen as worse than we do now.
Virgo: 3 of Cups – Parties, celebration, conclusion of major events in a good way.
Libra: Ace of Cups -Thy cup runneth over with good things. Generally it has in implication of the more spiritual gifts rather than the financial or oenophilic.

Still shitty.
I’m closing on the new house on Thursday, and meeting with contractors on Friday.
This is not the card I wanted for this week.
Sagittarius: 10 of Swords reversed – Pyrrhic victory, turning defeat into triumph,
A Pyrrhic victory is still a victory. I shall erect my throne upon the bones and ashes of my enemies.
What else?
One of my favorites.

I’ve been a bad boy and deserve to be punished.
Downtown and $20 will get you what you need, so I’ve heard.
Aren’t subsidies just tariffs paid by the taxpayer? I’m having a tough time finding a difference.

Listen up, winter lovers: Colorado’s ski season is officially here!
Keystone Resort announced it is opening for the season on Saturday afternoon, saying they’re the first ski area in North America to do so.
——-
Coming in second place for the Colorado ski area with the earliest opening date, Arapahoe Basin announced it will open for the season on Sunday morning.
The A-Basin chairlifts are set to be up and running by 8:30 a.m. Starting this weekend, the lifts will operate until 4 p.m. every day of the week.
“This season is an opportunity for us to show everyone who A-Basin is,” said Arapahoe Basin President & COO Alan Henceroth. “For folks with the Ikon Pass, this may be your first time visiting us. For our returning community, we’d like to reintroduce ourselves – we’re the same A-Basin you know and love, only maybe even a little better.”
A-basin is awesome in April and May.

Um. That does not bode well. Oct. 6 was a rather unpleasant day, but things and myself have been good since. I also rediscovered I have an appt with my neurologist next week. That’ll be an interesting* conversation. It won’t be. Last time, we actually kinda *talked* for the first time in several years. I was supposed to get scheduled for an MRI but I kinda dropped the ball on that. (It was my fault. Kinda forgot.)
There’s a good side to ‘self-absorbed?’ Well now, everyone. *Takes off shirt, kicks feet up, lights cigar.* Free samples of Me.

As someone who has both been subordinate to an incompetent, and had subordinates to an incompetent, I can confirm the latter is far superior.

Proper fooked.
Christ on a crutch. Collapsing the economy is one thing; that’s ultimately fixable.
Flooding the country with third world savages, on the other hand, is much more difficult to unwind.

They hate you and want you dead, part MCMXLIX.
Fortunately she’s just a figurehead but ugh who needs that embarassment.
I don’t really know how their elections work but my instinct is ‘bullshit’.
Well, first the outcome is determined, then the voters cast their ballots, then the outcome is announced.
I bet none of her opponents had the Blarney Stones to say climate change is not an existential threat.
We’ll have none of that here, so put a Cork in it.
They probably don’t even have open kerry.

I thought they took your money and then told you that you didn’t have the experience to be eligible?
Parties.
I don’t get invited to them. This has to be wrong.
