Friday October 22: Weather will be widespread, especially underneath moose where droppings will create serious problems for shipping, and some flooding. Yeast will continue to rise, God willing, but IBM will go down substantially on reports of problems with Future futures. Be sure and check on your shrine to Isis, Queen Goddess of Egypt, since if the smoke sputters, her search for the fragments of her lost husband Osiris are not going well, and you can assume that if she hasn't found his kneecaps by mid-November, spring will be delayed. Halloween masks this year will include skulls and witches, as well as cartoon characters from multinational corporate movies. Squirrels will be napping mostly, in preparation for New Years, so be sure and jackhammer a few trees today for a good ol' time!
