Looking Up Gar The Texan In My Thesaurus To Learn He Is Still Horoscoping In Astro World

I don't know why, exactly, but when Alma, the Songbird of the Texas Gulf Coast, sent me this particular dinosaur picture, this morning, it reminded me of Gar the Texan.

Is it because "Gar" rhymes with "Saur"?

I have no idea.

Was it something to do with some of Gar the Texan's thinking being a bit pre-historic? Well, more accurately, historically ignorant.

Again, I don't know.

I'd not checked in on Gar the Texan via his blog in quite some time. He is a blogging maniac, which makes it a bit exhausting to keep up with all of Gar the Texan's seemingly endless ramblings.

Gar the Texan is a deeply religious individual. He is a solid believer in Astrology. He can go on and on, ad nauseam, about the particulars of someone's sign.

To be perfectly honest about this Gar the Texan and Astrology thing, it is just a bit embarrassing, with him being so earnest about it, like a horoscopical version of a bible thumping proselytizer, only with Gar the Texan trying to convert those he ministers to to his Nancy Reagan Astrological World View.

So, I checked Gar the Texan's blog today for the first time in months. I was not too shocked to see that Gar the Texan's latest blogging's title is "Science."

In Gar the Texan's mind, Astrology is Science. And so it made sense that this latest Gar the Texan blogging was about Astrology.

The most interesting paragraph in the lengthy blogging is...

"I believe in Astrology.  I've discovered through scientific methodology that by talking to people, I can easily and correctly predict their astrological signs 8.3333% of the time."

Well, that actually is an impressive success rate, correctly guessing the correct astrological sign 1 out of every 12 times.

I tell you, the boy is an under appreciated Idiot Savant.

Getting Real HOT In Texas With My Leo Therapist & Me Being Shy About Horoscopes

Coming up on 5 on July 25 we are currently heated to 105 at my location in blistering HOT Texas.

The wind is blowing less than 5 mph.

The slight wind is not enough to bring on the Wind Chill Factor, instead the humidity has the Real Feel Heat Index feeling like 109.

In my current location a mechanical temperature altering device is chilling the air to somewhere in the 80 degree zone.

I remember 3 years ago today, shivering up in Tacoma. I asked if I could move to the upstairs loft, which was way warmer than the frigid basement I'd been being very cold in. The upstairs loft had 2 high tech A/C units. The A/C unit's digital thermometer indicated the temperature in the loft was 82.

The occupants in the house, in which I was incarcerated, could not understand that, to me, 82 degrees felt cool.

On a totally non-temperature, non Great North Texas Drought related subject, my therapist, Dr. L.C., sent me an amusing Horoscope thing this afternoon. The Horoscope thing said...

Far from shy, Leos can be quite opinionated, and their idealism is contagious––they are known for inspiring others. Starting your own blog where you can express yourself openly would be the perfect creative outlet for you. If you're not into writing, then try an acting class. Your flair for the dramatic makes you born for the stage.

Next month, in the Leo time of the year, my therapist's birthday and mine are one day apart.

As usual, with silly Horoscope stuff, this Horoscope stuff was really way off.

Both my therapist and I are very shy. Neither of us is at all opinionated. My therapist and I are not contagious. We are not very inspirational. We do both have blogs, but I can't see where they are a perfect creative outlet for either of us. My therapist does have a slight flair for the dramatic, unlike me and my very dull lack of any sort of flair.

Horoscopes & Northwest Nuttiness

Unlike Nancy Reagan and Gar the Texan I really don't put a whole lotta stock in Horoscopes, beyond some slight entertainment value. And, unlike those two, I certainly don't arrange my existence around how the stars are aligned.

But, every once in awhile the daily Horoscope for my sign, that being Leo, can be spooky. Then again, just by chance, if you read enough random things, something is going to resonate with ones own reality.

So, my Horoscope for today is, "New information shows who was telling the truth and who was not. Get your informants to keep talking and the entire story comes out."

Okay, for several weeks now I've been getting emails and comments, to this blog, regarding "things" in Tacoma and Seattle. I have not been publishing the comments and haven't known what to make of what these "informants" are telling me. As in, am I reading truth, or not? Nor have I been able to figure out the motivation for ferreting this information to me. Some of the time I think I'm being manipulated by someone using me to get at some one who's ire we share in common. But I'm thinking that's assigning a way too Machiavellian cleverness that just isn't warranted by the nature of the instigating aggravation.

Trouble is, I really have no direct contact with anyone in Tacoma who might shed some light. So, the easiest thing for me is to be both intrigued and to basically ignore the incoming information. Maybe I should quit ignoring and print it all and see if a pot somewhere starts to boil, or fizzles.

It's a perplexing conundrum. Maybe tomorrow's Horoscope will point me in the right direction...
