Fargo.
As in North Dakota. As in the movie by that name, a kind of dark movie, if I’m remembering correctly. Rob & I couldn’t get used to it and he didn’t seem to be answering to it.
One day Rob suggested calling him Buster.
Yuck. It reminded me of comic books from the 1960s.
“How about Nigel 2?” I suggested.
Not fair.
Sometimes, I though of him as “Chaucer.” Or “Kroger.” But then the other morning Rob suggested that we call him “Jupiter.”
Well, why not? The planet that governs expansion, publishing, luck, synchronicity. So now Fargo is Jupiter and he seems to respond to the name. It’s often shortened to “Jupe, c’mon, boy.” Or “Jupe, no, Binx doesn’t like that!”
So now I need to change the name on his microchip.
Jupiter is, of course, the largest planet in our solar system and I’m hoping size won’t correspond to him fully grown. But several people have speculated that he looks like he has some Grand Pyrenees in him.Yikes!
We did a DNA test on him and should know within a couple of weeks.
There’s one thing at which trump excels: CHAOS.
Since Nigel got sick and passed away and we began the hunt for another dog – and found one!- I haven’t paid much attention to the news. Read some yesterday and today and it’s incredible that not much changes day to day – it’s always CHAOS. It’s as if trump, in his demented insomnia, decides the U.S. should claim Greenland, Cuba, the Strait of Hormuz.
Maybe he has psychotic visions. Maybe those visions include his name on airports. the Kennedy Center and hey, shouldn’t New York be named after him? And double hey, what other areas than the military and government can he eliminate women and people of color?
I haven’t missed his chaos. In fact, my life is simpler and happier without it. But I’m eager for the next protest, where we the people are out on the streets with signs and chants. & I’m still bewildered how anyone of conventional religious faith can support this guy.
Tom Blanche is as compromised as everyone else in this admin. & he’s now attorney general, but remains trump’s lawyer.
Gag.
Meet Fargo! Two months old, a rescue from Adopt a Pet. We adopted him on Saturday, under the influence of the solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th. He’s a sweetie, but a puppy! And puppies are energetic…he is accustomed to playing with his five brothers and with them not around, he figures our four cats are his brothers.
Binx, Megan’s black cat, stands up to him. The other 3 hide out until Fargo is snoozing.
He can’t go to the regular dog park until he is 4 months and has had his rabies shots. So we’ve been taking him to our neighborhood park where he wears himself out.
Today at our park, he wore himself out with Abby, our friend Lloyd’s dog. Wore himself out because he kept trying to get her attention to play with him. Steps in bowl of water as if to say, Hey, hey, right here!
We just mailed off his DNA test, so we don’t know yet what all he is. But he’s sweet and non- aggressive with others dogs and just wants to play. Yesterday I took him over to a friend’s house to meet her two dogs in her yard. Ah, c’mon, Diva. Play with me!
He seems to like his little home in the crate, door open, his bed inside.
Welcome to our crazy household, Fargo! And he does have some of Nigel’s traits – the gentleness, the way he prefers snoozing during the day under Rob’s desk or next to it, and how that tail wags for everyone.
& I don’t know who it was. But THANK YOU!
Found out that Caren Griffin sent it. The day I adopted Nigel, she got his brother and gave him to her daughter. The bro passed two years ago.
On August 12, at 1:34:45 PM, EDT, there’s a solar eclipse in Leo. These eclipses are like double new moons, so double the new opportunities. These new opportunities depend on the house in your natal chart where the eclipse occurs and the aspects it makes to your natal planets.
The eclipse is at 20 degrees and one minute of Leo. In the August forecast of Star Power, I forecast how it impacts your sign.In other words, it’s not unique to your natal chart. I tried to attach the solar eclipse chart but couldn’t do it. GO to cafe astrology to take a look at the actual eclipse chart.
It falls in my 10th house. Profession, career.
We’re going to a huge rescue facility on Wed. the 12th to look for a new pooch. No dog can replace Nigel.But I miss that canine energy, that eagerness for play, adventure, the dog park, or just that quiet conversation at night. I miss coming into the house and not being greeted by a pooch with a toy in his mouth, a tail whipping back and forth,. I miss…well, having and knowing and loving a dog.
I’m hoping Nigel and Nika, the dog we lost three years ago, guide us to the right pooch.
August 12 is also the birthday of our podcast producer, Jon Posey, Happy birthday!!
What REALLY Happens When You Die? (It’s Not What You Think!)
This bewilders me:
How can a a christian support:
-a man who is clearly a misogynist: if you’re famous, you can grab women by the pussy)
-whose cruelty is so anti-christian -ending food programs that benefit kids, cutting medicaid to millions, cutting funding to USAID which has left kids in other countries starving.
⁃ Then there’s his ICE Gestapo- arresting people on the streets because their skin is brown or black, building massive concentration camps that are very much like what Hitler did
⁃ Defunding the head start program
⁃ Starting a war without the approval of congress that has increased the cost of living, and created more chaos in the mideast, killed American soldiers, thousands of Iranians
⁃ Cozying up to dictators
⁃ Trying to revoke birthright citizenship
⁃ Tearing down the east wing because he felt like it
⁃ Trying to get his name on everything so that people remember him
⁃ Appointed an idiot like RFK to head health & human services, a guy who isn’t even an M.D.
-gutted the CDC
⁃ Appointed an ex-Fox News host, an alcoholic, to head the department of defense, now call the dept of war under under trump
⁃ Made such drastic cuts to NOAH that if we have a hurricane, it’s unlikely that we’ll get accurate info
I’ll stop there, even though there’s lots more. How is any of this in line with christianity??
That’s what bewilders me.
