Mercury, Venus, Jupiter & Mars

According to an article at nypost.com by Nolan Hicks, less than a quarter of registered NYC voters voted. I did not. I do not foresee myself ever voting again. I believe we are locked on the road to socialism and nothing will stop that but a complete catastrophe that no one wants to see.

Stop the madness! Headline from NYP about an incident in Yonkers: “Man accused of double murder less than a week after being freed without bail.” And this from Florida, in a caption below a photo: “A 24-year-old Honduran immigrant who’s charged with murder in the brutal stabbing death of a Florida man had crossed the US border illegally months earlier.”

More absurdity on the Covid front, excerpt from an NYP article by Ethan Sears: “Manhattan College volleyball coach Lora Sarich Egbert is running practices by yelling instructions from outside the team’s gym due to her unvaccinated status.”

NYP headline: “Expect intensity when Mercury enters Scorpio in November 2021.” Even more than now? Let’s hope it’s this instead: “When the moon is in the seventh house/ And Jupiter aligns with Mars,/ Then peace will guide the planets/ And love will steer the stars.” Aquarius: Gerome Ragni/ James Rado/ Galt MacDermot.

Here’s an NYP headline that should bring joy to fellow dirty old men: “Moms are making breast milk smoothies to feed kids COVID antibodies.” I feel like a kid, but I prefer mine straight from the tap.

Interesting headline from foxnews.com: “Biden’s Build Back Better plan calls for 185 times more spending on climate than future pandemic preparedness.”

Good session of the floating book shop on this crisp, gorgeous autumn day, the outgoing far exceeding the incoming. My thanks to all the buyers and the woman who donated a mystery in Russian. Here’s what sold: two books in Russian, The Cardinal of the Kremlin by Tom Clancy; a collection of four abridged novels by the Select publishing house; The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway; The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson; The Gospel of Judas by Rodolphe Kasser, Marvin Meyer, Gregor Wurst and Bart D. Ehrman; The Swords of Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber; and this:
