Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
A female friend or relative might be going through some pretty heavy
changes right now, and need a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. You
might have gone through something similar yourself, dear Taurus, and
so could be just the person. Some doubts about the workability of
your goals, or your financial situation, may pop up, but these doubts
are probably based on misinformation, so a quick check of the facts
should relieve your mind.
Gemini
Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
Some political undercurrents could make things rather uncomfortable
in your working situation today, dear Gemini. This is not the day to
get involved in office politics. Try to avoid even getting involved
in conversations about the situation. This could prove distracting,
and might interfere with your efficiency. Don't force the issue. Do
what tasks are the most pressing, and save the rest for tomorrow. By
that time the situation should have passed.
================================================================
Bleh. Sounds like I'm in for a fun day. As if those are real.
Ah well.
Had a wierd morning so far: Saw an albino squirrel in one of the
yards on my way to the bus. Surely some sort of Sign. Then this guy,
(found out his name is robert) was asking me if the bus went
downtown, I said yes, and he just went on to tell me his wierd life
story that made no sense. He lived in Austin 11 years ago. he lived
in Austin 3 years ago. He lived in Tallahassee Fl for 3 years, bla
bla. I dunno. He was either drunk, stoned, retarded, or some
combination of these. He was going downtown to find the 'statistics
building' where he could get a copy of his birth cert. Then he was
going back down to William Cannon where he used to live to visit a
friend. He told me many times how kind I was to treat him nicely and
not cringe away because he was black, he insisted on paying my
fare...it was WIERD. I am kind of flattered that he was nice, and
glad to see that for once good deeds are rewarded, but I didn't feel
like I'd done that much for him. *sigh* I hope he doesn't become a
regular morning rider. I didn't get to read my book.
And baby kitty did the alarm-clock kitty thing this a.m. around 5:45--
always just enough time before the real alarm clock so that you don't
really want to get up, but not enough time to really get back to
sleep and rest.
Aunt L is back from New Orleans--she has a 'prize' for me. Doubtless
something edible that is not low carb :|
Listening to the Mystere soundtracks (one studio and one live in
Vegas) all week. Such cool music. I like Kunya Sobe the best. I
imagine, though, that I will associate some of this music with death
for a long while. But the music is also about life, redemption,
freedom. So...hopefully it will comfort me, too.

Squirrel
The omen in a dream featuring squirrels varies according to the
action. If you fed them or observed them eating or carrying nuts
away, it signifies comfort through prudence and diligence; to see
them running or chasing each other aimlessly suggests you are heavily
involved in a profitless love or business affair which you would be
wise to forget about; to see squirrels running up--or sitting in--a
tree is a warning of possible financial embarrassment; pull in your
belt before you stretch your credit to the breaking point.
Squirrel
1 A squirrel assures you that with foresight and thrift you'll attain
peace of mind and security.
2 It suggests that your home life will be happy and you'll be held in
high esteem by people around you.
3 It also advises that you'll be putting money aside for a rainy day
just like a squirrel hoarding nuts for winter.
Albino Spirit animals
by Gerald Musinsky
Most all every Native American tribe had some manner of "spirit"
belief regarding albino animals. The Albino was protected by most
Native American customs. Within the Northeastern Woodlands, Leni
Lenape, Susquehannock, Iroquois (Six Nations) etc. One primary
principle: The Albino was not to be hunted or killed. This taboo
carried various curses. According to Bear Two Arrows (Eastern
Delaware), knowledgeable of owl medicine, the taboo and its various
curses are known among more respectful contemporary hunters with or
without Native American ancestry. He relates his own experience
regarding an albino owl, and it's connection to owl spirit medicine.
[Leni Lenape words for: white, Wapsu; owl, Gokhos.] If an albino
squirrel were hunted and killed, the hunter would suffer loss of his
hunting abilities. If an albino deer were killed (and without
remorse) the hunter might later loose his life in a freak accident
often involving his hunting or survival skills. The general belief in
certain legends concerning various individual animals persists into
the 20th century, many of which can be documented. Among all tribes,
the Albino animal had spirit connections, one of the strongest among
the Plains tribe was the White Buffalo, a definite omen of great
wisdom. The symbolic significance behind white or the quality
of "whiteness" was not associated with purity as in Western culture
but also wisdom and ancient knowledge of greater conceptual and
spiritual magnitude. Depending on the animal species involved and
how it corresponds within the greater tribal cosmological context
sometimes manifests the extent of the consequences when the taboo is
broken. Belief in the "spirit nature" of albino animals and the
ritual taboo of protection probably has its roots in the fact that an
albino's ability to survive natural predators is greatly reduced by
the lack of proper pigmentation for camouflage and keener vision to
spot prey. These natural attributes render an albino "unfair" game
for the Native hunter, or any hunter aware of the spiritual nature
these animals might possess. Even the skin or hides of these animals
must be treated with reverence. Following the customs of these
legends regarding the hunting and trapping restrictions were not in
as much out of fear for the taboo but more so with respect to the
higher aspect of Nature and the Creator.
- Jun. 14, 2002This just pisses me off. It was posted to the 'central texas rennies'
yahoo group, presumably a group for ALL texas rennies, and then right
there at the end it says "T shirts are for Chaos members only'..well,
then, Scorch, why the FUCK didn't you JUST post this message on
whatever mailing list or yahoo group that is ONLY for the Chaos
members? Oh I get it. you were TRYING to make everyone else feel
excluded and emphasize the specialness of your own special little
group.
Chaos,to me, is LOUD DRUNK WHITE TRASH and nothing more. I don't feel
sad to be excluded from such company, only sad that you've got to
muck up other groups with what could have been an 'in group only'
message.

==========================================
What I actually posted on the Central Texas Rennies groups & the
responses so far:
ME:
Scorch,
I'm a little...confused. Are these T shirts only to be bought/worn by
Chaos members? It sounds like that from what I'm reading. If
so...why don't you just post Chaos related business to a chaos-only
email list or a chaos-only Yahoo group?
I am not trying to censor or flame, but I just get very tired, angry,
hurt,etc. being excluded all the time because I don't belong to any
of these groups/clans/gangs. I figured I qualified as a 'central
texas rennie' at least. But here I am again, feeling like I don't
belong. *sigh*

Ok, I am not going to preach on the basis of continuing on with
someones personal drama but, there is no need to personalize things
that a group is doing on an open egroups list. I am personally
confused about the buying of the shirts, as well on who can buy..
sounds odd..... If you would like, I would still like to see you show
up at Gothfest again on Aug. 3rd and have a good time.
Thank you

Hi everyone...
As far as who can buy, yes it has to be chaos members, like it says
in the post. My apologies for offending or making anyone feel left
out...I did not realize that it would do that :-). I hope I will be
forgiven! Scorch
================================================================
ME: (should NOT have gone here, but I did...)
So what am I missing? Why post something for Chaos members *only* on
a website that seems to be labeled for 'all' central tx. rennies? I
am probably just too sensitive, but it just doesn't seem to be
necessary to let everyone who isn't in Chaos know that "we have a T
Shirt and YOU can't have it"
