Nope, born a dead blue baby on July 5 and revived by a French Philippine Doc who apparently thought he knew better than the Cosmos at that time. Likely would've been born July 4th, but for the complications.
As it was, lots of relatives thought it humorous to send me spent firecrackers in birthday cards. Meaning was lost on me, other than I didn't get to light the buggers. I saw little humor or 'cuteness' in it.
In other words, though, I'm a Cancer. Now with cancer. (Consistency matters, I guess).
A water baby. A lunar water baby, to be more precise.
Howled at the moon many times, sometimes while on the water. Sometimes on frozen water.
An LSD experience on the Tanana River in winter, most of 40 years ago or more comes to mind... Howling at the moon and realizing the ice we were on was thin enough to hear the river water running underneath us. Filed under the experiential header of 'trippy shit'.
If you'd put in a good word to anyone doing star charts or zodiac/birth sign predictions, I'd appreciate it. Anyone dabbling in Cosmic safeguards or related positive outcomes is welcome for dinner,.... or lunch... or breakfast... or just to visit.

Stone Temple Pilots are playing Fairbanks the end of July.
Blues Traveler is playing the Tanana Valley State Fair in Fairbanks in August.
Time warp, and maybe events calling for some stout LSD.
Might have to break out my extra fancy P-100 GVS masks and brave the hordes of urbanian homo-sapiens; maybe carry an extra-large cannister of bear spray to better define my own personal space.
Between the masks and a large hat, I'll bet no one will even see me. And I can wear camo. That ought to help immensely.

The can's bigger, so what might be lacking in potency can be made up for in volume. Like with Mexican brick weed years ago, in many cases.
I recall the defensive pepper spray that was sold for folks to carry (size small cannisters) was less potent than what LE carried on their utility or duty belts.
I have 3 canisters of 'newer' bear spray here in elastic belt holsters at the moment, most of it at least a couple years old (yes, they put best-by dates on the stuff). Another way older canister with no belt holster in a different color can.
My joke for years was that they're basically condiments for bears. Who doesn't like some Tapatio Sauce on their steak tartar?

Possum that hitched a ride aboard a container on a ship or barge into Homer, Alaska, becoming disorderly and biting a cop when the cop 'arrested' it, will be spared euthanasia after all.
Since when are cops suffering an assault so forgiving? I wanted to see video of the cop tasing and beating the thing with a night stick!! Maybe putting the cuffs on way too tight!!
I want my money back!!
Homer's elusive possum, finally captured, will not be killed after all
Grubby arrived in March after hitching a ride on a shipping container from Washington state.

I just sold a fat cord of 1- and 2-year-old spruce wood in 4-foot lengths to a very polite aging Russian fellow and his son.
We briefly talked about the shy cords the thieving firewood vendors in town sometimes sell, where a cord is a half-cord or so if a person is lucky. I told them that whether a person is selling cannabis or firewood, fairness and honesty means fewer people will talk shit about you when you die. As I told my kids when I was raising them, "Your name is on everything you do. And there'll be enough people to talk trash about you when you leave this world, no matter what you do, so it's best not to give them free ammunition."
The older gent had left Russia after the conversion to their earlier effort toward capitalism, when the Country was hurting horribly (I knew people from Magadan, which was a sister city to Valdez, Alaska back then).
His 20-something y.o. son was born in Western Europe, but they both spoke several languages, including a dialect of Russian and fluent English as well.
I sold them a nice fat cord of the 4-footers, knowingly over-sized, for a price I already knew was way below market, but I'm not in shape at the moment to cut them into 16" pieces or split them, so we all scored a deal in my view of things.
I then showed them the various stacks of free aspen on the lower end of the property that's been downed for 1-2 years, and they'll take that after their 3rd load of spruce wood this evening, and maybe tomorrow or so they'll finish up by snagging the remainder of any usable or burnable aspen...
It was a pleasure doing business with knowledgeable, appreciative, hard-working, worldly people, and sharing stories of places we've both been, as well as briefly acknowledging the hardships their homeland endured during that painful transition, when food in the smaller rural villages was sometimes practically non-existent.
Now I need to go charge the batteries for my 4-wheelers, so I don't have to tote my chainsaws and peevey down there to cut the larger aspen into manageable size pieces for them.
It's a good day when one finds greater purpose.

the one thing i've drilled into my kids as they grew up was that "it doesn't cost you a thing to be nice to folks." when i was teaching them to drive, i also said "wave at every farmer you see while out. he might be the guy that pulls your car out of the ditch..."

Benzinga reports that researchers at Johns-Hopkins placed octopi into MDMA-laced water and the octopi essentially hugged each other.
Not making this up.
I would add, however, that if the octopi in reference begin attending Burning Man, someone's going to need to bring an AWFUL LOT of water to that desert.

A 4-year-old girl recently died while in the custody of Immigration and Naturalization/Border Patrol, when they waited too long to take her in for medical attention. She had been bleeding from her mouth (likely internal, exiting the mouth) by the time they took her for professional medical help.
Civilized Nation, right?
I'm headed to bed. My gut's fucked up and I've been dizzy all morning and afternoon in ways not typical for me. Maybe a half of a decent joint, a glass of RO H2O, and some sleep. BUt something's off for sure; whether spine/central nervous system, vascular, glucose, cancer, or who knows?

the Dalai Lama once took a tour of the US. afterwards, reporters asked him what he thought of western civilization. he replied "i think that would be a very good idea..." damning with (very) faint praise.
