Oh look, here'...anyjazz~ Wasn't he though!<br />Oh look, here's an apt quote from your favourite author:<br /><br /><i>“Often, moreover, it is...that aspect of our being that society finds eccentric, ridiculous, or disagreeable, that holds our sweet waters, our secret well of happiness, the key to our equanimity in malevolent climes.”</i><br />― Tom Robbins, "Still Life With Woodpecker".

I was amazed. It's a bit clunky, but does everything I need, so I don't have to shell out for a new one. :-)<br /><br />Tonight's PBS programme sounds interesting - I'll try to remember to watch it - thanks!<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-72729708164997403072014-04-22T08:50:21.466-05:002014-04-22T08:50:21.466-05:00At least he died happy...LOL...doing what he wante...At least he died happy...LOL...doing what he wanted and dressed for the occasion. I'm like you, Twilight, upon upgrading my computer, I lost my previous astrology software, so I've lost the convenience of constructing charts on a whim. His last diary entry on May 31, 1934, would put transiting Sun (his life force) near conjunction with natal Pluto and opposing natal Saturn...not an omen of positive outcomes. Using free transit software (http://planetwatcher.com/), he also had transiting Uranus nearing conjunction with natal Sun...transiting Pluto nearing conjunction with his South Node. He may have had a death wish or realized the end was nigh one way or other.<br /><br />BTW - TONIGHT AT 8 PM CDT...PBS' American Masters is presenting "Premiere of A Fierce Green Fire in Honor of Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22"<br /><br />"Inspired by the book of the same name by environmental journalist and film interviewee Philip Shabecoff, and informed by advisors like conservation biologist E.O. Wilson, A Fierce Green Fire unfolds in five acts, each with a central story and character, featuring vivid archival footage and new interviews that shed light on the battle for a living planet. The first four acts include success stories of people fighting for causes against enormous odds, and the fifth concludes with climate change."<br /><br />http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/a-fierce-green-fire/watch-the-film/2924/mikenoreply@blogger.com
