Letters to politicians
That’s what I started with, but my caustic, satirical streak took over, and I’m not sure I really want to fire off one of the letters.

While it’s not official [url=http://www.astrofish.net/monthly.html]yet, as far as I’m concerned, Mercury is stationary enough to make most of folks miserable. I’m not buying into it. But then, I am a professional, and I’m not about to let Mercury’s predictable course ruin anything I’ve got [url=www.astrofish.net/travel.html]planned.
