Grab that coffee early and head outside. You will be in for a real treat this week.
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus will be putting on quite a display for us earthlings.

The best time to look is about 45 minutes before dawn, or around 5:30 a.m., according to astronomy magazine www.skypub.com.
Look to the eastern horizon and find a brightly-glowing planet to begin the show. Mars will be the dimmest of the quartet, so a pair of binoculars wouldn’t hurt, NASA says.
Somewhere….a cultist is attempting to bring about the end of the world as we know it…based upon a five thousand year old prophecy, written in a secret, occult language, carved on a mastadon skull……that only one family knows….handed down through the ages……
Sorry. I was reading my day planner…
That is supposed to be May 21st. I don’t think it is tied up with the planetary realignment. That is someone’s twisted interpretation of the scriptures.
What scriptures? Have you been reading my mastadon sk..um, never mind….
Bible ones, I assume.
May 21st is the end of the world as we know it? Why wasn’t I informed? I’ve got a birthday party camp out in my backyard planned for my daughter that day and I’ve got machine guns to shoot the next weekend. They’re just going to have to wait.
If I had to do a camp out with a bunch of pre teens I would be wishing the end of the world happened before that fateful evening. You may want to up the machine gun experience also…make it happen sooner to put you out of your own misery before that camp out.
Buy lots of OFF!
Cargo, be prepared for a lot of screeching when the first slimy slug makes its way into some kiddo’s bed. Ah, memories of sleeping in the backyard…
Don’t jest about this kind of thing, Cargo. Glamis Castle in Scotland is the home of the Earls of Strathmore. The late Queen Mother, consort of King George VI, was a daughter of the Earl of Strathmore. Anyway, there is a legend about that castle. It seems that there is some “dread secret” known only to the Earl himself and passed on exclusively to his heir apparent when the latter reaches his 21st year. I take it that not even Queen Elizabeth II knows what that “dread secret” is. Don’t know if it is written on a mastodon skull, but it must be important to have lasted all these centuries. Incidentally, Shakespeare made Glamis the tragic setting for “Macbeth.”
Now, what could that “dread secret” be and could it have something to do with this aligning of the planets? Perhaps the Brit royals are not royal at all — somebody long ago slipped the new born child of a commoner into the succession? Or perhaps Britain is destined to become a part of the Caliphate? Seems strange how the Prince of Wales and the Archbishop of Canterbury always bend over backwards these days to please the Muslims. And, you know, Richard the Lionhearted did spend a good bit of time in the mysterious East. Hmmm, wonder how Pippa Middleton would look in a burka? Would that now famous derriere still show?
Man, it’s a slow day around here……Might be a piece of bad beef or an overdone potato, as old Ebenezer would have said……
@Wolverine
Bite your tongue man! Pippa in a Burka!? NNNNOOOOoooooooo!!!!
Quick, go get that “topless” shot of her off of Drudge. (She’s either wearing a bikini top or a bra that covers everything. The papparazi are desperate.) Darn…its gone.
Is the Earl supposed to ever reveal it?
@Moon-howler
I’m not going to be camping out. They are. I’m going to be inside….waiting for them to ask to sleep on the couch.

These girls pick up slugs to take home as pets…..
I found this out while moving logs off of my driveway and the girls all came over to pick up worms and slugs.
You can see the same star show tomorrow morning.
