Lucky day, I hope. I looked at a few charts yesterday, then I heard from a local Leo, and I decided that the chance to see her at the Springs was worth the trip. I found neither her, nor any familiar faces among the crowds. I listened briefly to transplanted person complaining about how cold the water was, how hot the days were, and how it wasn’t like back home. I resisted the urge to say, “Then leave.” On my way back, making a long loop along the hike and bike trail, I came across a baby bat, trying to find cover in the searing daylight. It was about to get picked apart by a big, bad crow. I scared the crow away long enough to give the bat a chance to fly into the nearest tree. Nature teaches us lessons, and I pondered that scene on the way back to my trailer. I think I’m about to do away with the free chart option I’ve had up for a long time. Charts take time to compute, and e–mail is not free. I pay for a server and variety of services to connect to the net. The free stuff is no longer amusing for me — that’s the clue. I once weighed my free stuff against some of the other, more quotidian web offerings, and what I found was my report covered all the planets, ran about 2,500 words, and the other weighed in at only 500 words using just the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant.
