I just learned that Mercury was in retrograde a few weeks back.. ..(i beleive it ended july 1)   i don’t beleive that the constellations rule our fate.. i do believe that every bit of matter in the universe effects every  other.. so why cant the fact that a small overheated planet starts doing a polar coordinated  dance out of  precalculus  rule our lives.. What else can explain all the agitation, complexity and sad events that have occurred in the past couple of weeks.

i plan on having a conversation with said planet. It’s supposedly visible in the eastern sky at 4:45 tomorrow monring. we’ll see what it has to say for itself.

in the mean time.. here’s a photo I cut from the drone video that Matthew took of the house yesterday. you can see the samstone we placed up there.. when the cupula was being repaired..   pretty cool !

ok.. time for bed.. mercury rises very early tomorrow

nite all. nite sam
