NASCAR Tales of The Idiots

In Honor of Robby Gordon and The Upcoming Dakar Rally, I am reposting this….  Plus I am  celebrating the end of some really bad aspects… I have Astrologically came out of my “Bad Luck” phase. Officially on Dec. 12th.  It’s odd, the aspect came into my life just prior to my ankle issue and a lot of  crap has happened since. So Hurray!! It’s OVER!! Wahoo!!

2009 is going to be great!! I have nothing but great aspects now that last for years! YAY!!

Sept. 1st, 2006

I am not in Fontana as I had an accidental change of plans for the next few months on Aug. 24, while celebrating my daughter’s birthday with a couple of Margarita’s and my friend Linda. I decided to pretend I was Robby Gordon in Baja…or running the Dakar Rally without the terrorists.

Linda and I did some slightly spontaneous creative engineering on my utility wagon ( looks like a child’s wagon but BIG, usually used for odd jobs and yard work. I haul buckets of dirt and water with it, to wash gold out of the dirt). We decided to make it into a combination off road Hummer and half assed, half- luge.

The hill we were on was perfect for a good run. The first run went very well. I drove the 1/2 mile track with 2 turns and didn’t dump Linda end over end until we crossed the finish line. We hauled it back up the hill…Linda drive the second round ( I told her her name was Andy) and we were able to move the finish line another 500 Ft. We hauled it back up the hill again…a little higher…a little further…Adrenaline pumping…Ready for the next go round. We decided to alter the track course a bit. We now, being “experienced driver’s with another tequila backed confidence booster cheering us on”.( I think I had taken a Vicoden too for a head ache I had earlier). We flew down the hill…Through the first turn with flawless finesse. Then just as we were heading into turn 2, there was a caution flag for debris out. We narrowly missed the boulder in our path and careened out of control into the wall…Which was actually the side of a cabin. Flipped in the air and rolled with the wagon, myself, and Linda pinning my leg between us and another very large rock. The crack the crowds heard in the stands was my leg and ankle. The crowd rushed in to help us and remove the debris from on top of us. They lifted Linda from the wagon. Shift. Another crack. Moved my Self and the wagon back from the rock and crack again as my leg was untangled from the carnage. The safety crew jammed me down Burnt River Canyon 40 miles to the nearest hospital in Baker City OR. The Baker City OR Doctors said “Ooooh. This is very bad. We can’t help you here. Doped me up and wanted to send me by ambulance the 200 mile trip to Boise. I said, ” No thanks! We will drive and save the ambulance bill:)”. Had surgery the morning of the 26th. Now I am home and not in Fontana as planned. Crud. I wanted to drive down anyway but the Doc’s said “Nope. No way.”  broken-ankle-2broken-ankle-1
Needless to say… I should have read my ‘scope that day.

Repair works *
You may be concerned today with repairing something that has broken down, such as an automobile or an appliance. Or you may have to deal with a situation that has broken down to the point that it must change radically in order to continue, even along completely new lines. You may have to contend with a person who is trying to exert unreasonable power over you today, forcing you to defend your right to do things your way. The person may feel that he or she is doing this for your own good, but that is not usually the case. Avoid contact with criminals and do not go into areas where you are likely to encounter street crime. Under this influence it is just possible that you might have an unfortunate encounter.

Yup…I should have read it. Said humbly in hindsight.

Good News!! The newest Grandbaby was born 8/31 @ 2:00 AM. Chase Patrick came into our world weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz. 20 inches long. Healthy, beautiful and another little redhead like his Grama. That’s makes 4 little red headed grandbabies out of seven. Pretty good genes I say!! Welcome Little Angel!

Chase born just before The Chase! How appropriate. Mom is a Kevin Harvick fan. I am surprised Kevin isn’t his middle name.

As above so Below.  See ya again soon. I think I will knock myself out with pain pills for a few more days. The docs change the cast again on Tues. They anticipate I won’t be walking again for 8 months.

8 MONTHS!! OMG!!

Onward LugNutZ!! Tally Ho!!

P.S.** It was only 6 months before I was walking. Not pretty to look at but walking. I’ve barely a limp anymore.

Let’s Remember and Say Thanks to Our Soldiers!

military

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can’t pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!
It is FREE and it only takes a second.Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.

This takes just 10 seconds and it’s a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you’s.

I challenge YOU to bookmark the site and send a card a day through the holidays.

Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingCrud!! We are getting hit by a huge snowstorm… I can only get intermittent signal and am unable to stay on line long. If I lose my signal to TV I am going to be ticked. So far , so good. I have went outside and wiped the snow off the dish probably 50 times this morning. I still have a little pixelization. Hopefully I will be able to watch the race.Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I said last night that the horoscopes for some of the driver’s are wildly complicated and that I would write more this morning. The’scope’s of these driver’s all signify controversy, disputes, hot heads and policy changes. Hmmm…I see “fuel” issues. I am not talking about the unleaded fuel or jet fuel either.

 Photobucket - Video and Image HostingThere are only two driver’s with exceptionally good  ‘scope’s. Ryan Newman and Jeff Gordon. Elliot Sadler’s isn’t too bad tho nothing like The Rocketman and Gordo.  Their  aspect’s are nearly identical. If you want to see Jeff Gordon’s go read Ryan’s from last night’s post. Go Ryan!! Tho I hate to say this…stay away from Robby Gordon. I love Robby Gordon. I so hope I am wrong about him and Dale Jarrett. Dale Jarrett, Kurt Busch Jr., Martin Truex Jr., and Juan Pablo Montoya Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting(John Paul the Pope of Motorsports) all have Moon Square Mars as the major aspect ruling their day today.
Not good.

Let’s look at Dale Jr. first:

Moon Trine Mars
activity period from 24 February 2007 to 25 February 2007.
Theme: Inner excitement 
Weak, transient effect: This morning you can assert yourself in a positive manner and stand your ground if necessary. You may feel more courage and confidence than usual, which you express by taking the initiative in making emotional contacts with others. You speak very directly and forcefully, but without being offensive, which others will respect you for. This is a good time to work as a leader with groups of people. You understand what is needed, and you can unify your objectives and theirs, usually by talking them around to your point of view. Whenever you talk with others, you radiate an inner excitement, as if you were ready for immediate action. Under this influence you have the capacity to start projects, although you should keep in mind that this is a short-term influence and its effects will not last long. 

Moon Trine Uranus
activity period from 25 February 2007 to 26 February 2007
Theme: Sudden moves 

Tonight you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies

Moon Sextile Chiron
active only on 25 February 2007.  
Theme: Small embarrassments 
During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual – even small embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others – for example children – enough security to trust you.

Martin Truex JR, born 29 June 1980
Moon Opposition Neptune
active only on 25 February 2007. 
Theme: Misunderstandings 
Weak, transient effect: This morning you are very sensitive emotionally, but the impressions you receive through your sensitivity may not be very accurate. You have vague feelings about the circumstances and people around you, and you may feel very confused, because you aren’t sure whether you are being realistic or unduly suspicious and fearful. Misunderstandings with others are very likely, because you tend to feel that others have unfairly criticized or hurt you, although they have done nothing of the sort. Or you may feel that someone dislikes you for the flimsiest reasons. The reason is that this influence activates your subconscious complexes, which take over your moods and perceptions. Instead of reacting to the reality of what you see, you react automatically to the subconscious process set off by what you see. 

Moon Square Mars
activity period from 25 February 2007 to 26 February 2007.
Theme: Letting off steam
 ( **Kurt Busch has this same aspect as his major aspect of the day.)
Today during the day there is a real danger of needless disputes, irritability, emotionalism, rash action and hastiness, which may result in harm or inconvenience later.
You will find it difficult to handle other people for awhile. One of the challenges now is to successfully let off steam without making an unnecessary shambles. If you frequently feel somewhat discouraged about yourself, you should be especially careful with this influence. You may see everything that comes your way as a threat and react much too defensively. If you have a bolder and more self-confident temperament, you may be inclined to act too quickly, to be hasty and overcritical of others. Or you may be accident prone. With this influence, you are not as careful as you should be, and you might hurt yourself

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Pluto Square Chiron
activity period from beginning of February 2007 until end of November 2008.
Theme: Expressing rage ***
Valid during many months: This critical influence could awaken considerably conflicting emotions within you. You might have an increasing urge to finally tell someone straight to their face what you think of them, while at the same time being ashamed of having such hurtful and spiteful feelings. Others will possibly have difficulty coping with you at the present time, so that you are more reliant than usual on their patience and understanding. The best thing you can do now is to be compassionate with yourself. Your inner unrest is an unmistakable sign that something is coming to light which has long been causing havoc in the depths of your unconscious. Most people bury the emotional pain resulting from rejection, embarrassment or experiences of ridicule and abandonment deep within their psyche, without ever venting the rage and hate which accompany it.
Problems with colleagues or rows within the family could trigger powerful emotions which no longer stand in relation to the outer events. If you now have to cope more often with feelings of rage and aggression, this is probably because you are stronger and more able to deal with such emotions and the reactions they cause in others. Just admit to having such unpleasant feelings! Only then will you become increasingly able to react to situations in a more appropriate way, and not to punish people for things which they are not responsible for. Rage is a completely natural emotion which protects us, often arising in situations in which we suffer injustice. If your upbringing has made you incapable of expressing such feelings, you will continue to feel helpless, used, guilty and at the mercy of others, denying yourself the chance to fight back.
 

Moon Square Pluto
activity period from 25 February 2007 to 26 February 2007
Theme: Sudden urges 
Weak, transient effect: This influence can have many different effects, some of which you should be quite careful of. To begin with, it encourages compulsive behavior; your emotions acquire so much momentum that it is difficult not to give in to sudden urges and impulses that may not be good for you in the long run, particularly if you have been trying to suppress your feelings. This influence is least difficult if you deal with your feelings honestly and do not try to hide them from yourself. On the plus side, however, this influence allows you to go inside yourself and find out what you really want in any situation. Emotional self-analysis is very effective now, as long as you are willing to be honest. Encounters with others may also force an emotional self-confrontation which is useful, even though possibly unpleasant. 

Moon Trine Mars
activity period from 25 February 2007 to 26 February 2007.
Theme: Inner excitement
 
Tonight you can assert yourself in a positive manner and stand your ground if necessary. You may feel more courage and confidence than usual, which you express by taking the initiative in making emotional contacts with others. You speak very directly and forcefully, but without being offensive, which others will respect you for. This is a good time to work as a leader with groups of people. You understand what is needed, and you can unify your objectives and theirs, usually by talking them around to your point of view. Whenever you talk with others, you radiate an inner excitement, as if you were ready for immediate action. Under this influence you have the capacity to start projects, although you should keep in mind that this is a short-term influence and its effects will not last long. 

Moon Conjunction Moon
activity period from 25 February 2007 to 26 February 2007.
Theme: Emotional attitudes
 
 Certainly, tonight emotional attitudes figure more prominently than usual. You should be careful not to lose your objectivity in a discussion or lose your sense of perspective. But you will not feel particularly good or bad with this influence; rather, you will feel any emotion more strongly. Sometimes there is a tendency to attract things to you at this time. Women may also be more important to you than usual. Objects, persons and places that are familiar to you are very important at this time because you need emotional reassurance from your surrounding. You may try to withdraw from others or from confrontations with unfamiliar or strange situations. This is not a negative condition; it arises out of a need to be by yourself for a while. 

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980
Chiron Square Chiron
activity period from middle of February 2007 until end of December 2007.
Bad luck for tell-tales ***
Valid during many months: Under this influence you could cause yourself considerable harm by making strenuous attempts to overcompensate for your weaknesses – for example by overdoing things or taking on tasks for which you are not yet ready. Demanding far too much of yourself is likely to lead to some kind of failure or disgrace, which will only serve to reopen old wounds. Less dramatic effects are also possible which nevertheless have the same root causes. You could, for example, feel that you are often your own worst enemy when dealing with others. Trying to appear strong when you actually feel weak could lead you into unpleasant situations.
You will find it easiest to cope with this influence if you can admit that, unlike baron Münchhausen, you are unable to pull yourself out of the swamp by your own hair. No heroic feat of strength can undo old wounds. If you can recognize this you will be able to avoid the more unpleasant side-effects of this influence, but also to realize where bypassing old pain might have caused you to skip important stages in your personal development. Try to accept these uncomfortable feelings without overreacting. This influence will help you to find ways of healing old wounds connected to the physical and instinctive sides of your nature, or at very least how you can better integrate them into your life.

***Ow.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
Moon Opposition Mercury
active only on 25 February 2007.  
Theme: A fruitful dialogue 
Weak, transient effect: This morning you may experience a real conflict between feelings and reason, or you may have a very fruitful dialogue about the state of your soul, either internally or with another person. In the first instance, old habits, prejudices and childhood patterns of thought are very likely to take precedence over what you usually consider reasonable; obviously this is not a good time to enter into delicate negotiations or to engage in an important discussion. As for the other side of this influence, this is a good time to withdraw by yourself or with another person and get in touch with your feelings. As long as you recognize that your emotions are emotions rather than rational judgments, you will not have trouble with this influence. In fact, you can learn a great deal about yourself, because your feelings are very clear. 

Moon Sextile Chiron ** Note the same aspect in other driver’s ‘scope’s
activity period from 25 February 2007 to 26 February 2007
Theme: Small embarrassments 
During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual – even small embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others – for example children – enough security to trust you. 
 

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Sun Square Chiron
activity period from 24 February 2007 to 26 February 2007.
Theme: One word leads to another 
There could well be a very painful argument if you react in an unconsidered manner at this time. Without warning one word leads to another until you suddenly show yourself to be hard and hostile in order to cover up one of your own weaknesses. In this way you can hurt your partner, a friend, or someone else to whom you are close, so that you greatly reproach yourself afterwards.

Mikey:
A karmic issue that you have with
The Scottish Racer has caused some issues with your new Yota life. I have blessed both you and Bram and asked for Grace so the karma may be erased. You should do better in the future. Bram will always write well. His eloquence and wit will rule your errors should they continue. I am thrilled to see him blogging again!! Make sure you check him out and don’t forget Backstretch Motorsports  for your news that is not for the thinking impaired.

Jeff Burton, born 29 June 1967
Mars Sextile Chiron
activity period from 24 February 2007 to 27 February 2007.
Theme: Thirst for action 
During this time there could well be arguments in your circle of colleagues, friends or acquaintances. You are energetic, decisive, perhaps also a bit impatient and belligerent, and have little desire to take the sensitivities and weaknesses of others into account. 
Has Jeff aways issued as many press releases as he has recently, or does he have a new press agent who maybe needs to mellow out? I like Jeff, but his press releases on every subject on earth are filling my email like spam.

There you go. You have a bird’s eye view into the themes of the day.
Does it sound like it will be boring?
Only if I am wrong.
Westward Ho!!

NASCAR -Daytona 500 Astro Predictions

Here are the predominant ‘scope’s of the driver’s with the most influential and strongest aspects that affect the Daytona 500 Astro-Predictions.

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977

Jupiter Conjunction Sun
activity period from 10 February 2007 until middle of October 2007.
Theme:Exuberant optimism

***Valid during many months: Traditionally this is considered one of the most marvelous influences, and indeed it is quite good. However, since your chart is severely afflicted by other influences at this time, this one will serve largely to give you a break.For a while it may seem that everything is working out perfectly, and if you make an effort, it will. But if you simply sit back and enjoy this time, its beneficent influence will pass away with little to show for it afterward.

This is the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle of growth in your life. It is a time to initiate new projects and expand your activities so that you can experience life from a broader perspective. You may find that you can escape from some narrowing and inhibiting circumstance that has prevented you from realizing your full potential as a human being. Sometimes people travel under this configuration, but usually the traveling is more in the mind.

This is a good time to study a subject that raises your consciousness or expands your view of the world, and it is an excellent time for going back to school. You may also meet new people who expose you to aspects of life that you have never known before. Your freedom will certainly increase.

Even with this influence there are some pitfalls. First of all, your exuberant optimism can cause you to overdo or overreach yourself, so that when this time is over, you find yourself out on the proverbial limb. Exercise a certain amount of restraint and build upon what you have rather than trying to increase your holdings beyond your ability to handle them. Be careful of extravagance, and if you invest money, remember that today’s luck is not permanent.

Moon Trine Jupiter
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
This influence gives you a pleasant sense of well-being. Tonight you feel very warm and friendly to the people around you, and you are willing to offer emotional or physical support to anyone who needs it. You are generous and giving. People will warm to you, and you should get from others exactly what you give, that is, warmth and affection. You are likely to attract basically happy and positive people with whom you will have an enjoyable time. This is not the result of a “Pollyanna” view of reality that refuses to recognize trouble and pain in the world, but of a real sense of belonging and oneness with others. In a very important sense you feel that helping others helps you. On another level this influence indicates a concern with the general welfare.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971

Venus Sextile Saturn
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Mutual expectations
This influence will show you in a positive way the duties and obligations that you have to live up to in your relationships. This will not be especially difficult for you, because you get considerable gratification from being of service to your loved ones. The reality of your emotional relationships is extremely important to you. Because you want relationships that are real, this is a good time to sit down with a loved one and arrive at a conscious understanding of what you expect from each other. A relationship can be ruined by not knowing what each party demands and needs from the other. Today you can make this clear to both lovers and friends and thereby minimize a possible source of trouble in your relationships.

Sun Square Sun
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Counterforces

This is a time of challenge and crisis. Very often this crisis occurs in the form of persons who are working at cross-purposes to your efforts. They may or may not oppose you intentionally, but the thrust of their actions forces you to prove that what you are doing is worthwhile. You may be very angry at these people, feeling that they are motivated by nothing but malice. In fact their motives are the same as yours, which you must learn to understand. Challenges may also occur in connection with your efforts to build something up, to create a material structure or to get a project going. Or they may occur as a test of some new aspect of your personality that has recently come into being. (**Like I said, stay away from Baby Busch)

Venus Opposition Pluto
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Constructive changes
This influence may have the effect of intensifying experiences in your love life. Through love you will seek feelings and emotions that transport you out of the ordinary. This same energy may lead to indiscretions in love relationships, which could cause problems later on. If f you bear this in mind, however, you will have little difficulty during this time. There are powerful energies at work in your love life today and they can work to bring about constructive changes in your relationships. These energy patterns are dangerous to your relationships only if you are unconscious of their processes or if you are unwilling to deal with their root causes. You may have to handle quite a bit of energy to make this influence work out, but it could be a powerful force for good.

Moon Sextile Med.Coeli
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Intense feelings
Weak, transient effect: This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. Tonight you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group. Otherwise it is not an influence that stimulates drive and ambition.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975

Mars Trine Sun
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Decisive action **
During this time you feel vigorous and willing to work. At the same time, your self-confidence is unusually strong. You feel no need to struggle against others, because you know your normal energies will carry you through any situation. And since you are able to work from such a calm position, your work is more effective and more competent than usual. You do not feel violently competitive, but if someone offers a challenge, you won’t back down.You will enjoy the contest, but you will not feel driven to win at all costs. The game will seem satisfactory by itself. And you will carry this viewpoint over into all the activities you become involved in at this time. This is a favorable time for situations that require decisive action.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972

Moon Square Saturn
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
Theme: A fleeting depression
Weak, transient effect: This influence can indicate a period of fleeting depression. Today during the day you are inclined to feel lonely and out of touch with others. Sometimes you have a pronounced sense that no one loves you, whether or not it is true. It is very important to realize that your moods and sensations under this influence often do not reflect reality, even though they seem to. One area where you can have real trouble is in relationships. You will find it unusually difficult to relate emotionally to another person during this time. You may feel so cold and insensitive that you do not register signals from other people very well. This in turn leads to failures of communication and genuine misunderstandings. Obviously this is not a good time to become involved in an emotionally delicate situation.

Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Venus Opposition Venus
Theme: At ease with yourself
This can be a very pleasant time. You feel at ease with yourself, benign and rather self-indulgent, which is fine as long as you don’t have work that must be done. You feel that there is nothing you do not deserve, and you are likely to buy some expensive pastime only to regret the cost later. Love relationships will normally be smooth during this time, although a problem may arise if you have a disagreement with a loved one or friend. Instead of defending your own position when you have a perfect right to, you may compromise on issues that really should not be compromised.

Moon Trine Uranus
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Sudden moves
Weak, transient effect: This morning you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956


Moon Square Mercury
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Physical passion
You will be much more aggressive than usual. his influence can signify a critical time in your communications with the people around you, particularly those with whom you are intimately involved. The danger is that your feelings and emotions will overwhelm your rational intellect, making your thinking and actions so subjective that no one else will be able to relate to what you say. Nevertheless you have a strong need to communicate about your emotions. You should avoid dealing with controversy by changing your own views every time someone disagrees with them. You will tend now to change your views according to the prevailing wind, but this may result in compromising yourself if the people you have “agreed” with compare viewpoints. However, it is natural for your opinions to be in a state of flux at this time. Just be honest about admitting it.

Mars in the 12th House
activity period from 8 February 2007 until middle of March 2007.
Theme: Self-defense
Valid during several weeks: Past behavior patterns that have become completely unconscious now become active and come into play without your knowing it. Your efforts at self-assertion are undermined by these behavior patterns that you are not even aware of. And unfortunately the people who are alienated by these actions probably will not come out and say so, but will work behind the scenes to block your efforts. The only way you can counter this effect is to become completely conscious of yourself and these little self-defeating acts. If you feel emotionally upset as you often will during this time, refrain from any kind of significant confrontation with others. Instead, confront yourself. It is best at this time to work alone as much as possible.

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979

Moon Opposition Saturn
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
This influence, although brief, can have a disruptive effect on your relationships. The problem is that it tends to make you feel very lonely and isolated, as if there is no one you can communicate with. And this can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps unconsciously you send out signals to others declaring that you do not want to be bothered. You may get into a depressed mood that baffles the people around you, so they give up on you for the time being and stop trying to help you. There is a strong tendency to look on the dark side of life and to react much more strongly to disappointments and failures than to reinforcement from others and success. The best way to handle such feelings is to do nothing. Don’t take them seriously and don’t make any decisions based on the way you feel now.

Moon Square Neptune
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Distorted views
Weak, transient effect: Tonight fancies and illusions may become more important than reality. With some people this takes the form of simple daydreams, which are not likely to be a problem. After all, daydreaming is quite harmless. This is not a good time to make decisions or to embark upon a course of action that requires clear thinking. Subconscious influences are often very strong during this time, and they can distort your views in just about any area. Old points of view, habits picked up in childhood, prejudices – all can mislead you under this influence. People with an alcohol or drug problem may have difficulty with this influence. It gives everyone a strong desire to leave the real world, which strengthens some people’s dependence on drinking or drug taking.

Moon Sextile Chiron
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Small embarrassments
During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual – even small embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others – for example children – enough security to trust you.

Moon Trine Uranus
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Sudden moves ** Note The Elder Busch’s scope
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.

Elliot Sadler, born 30 April 1975

Venus in the 9th House
activity period from 13 February 2007 until middle of March 2007
Theme: A pleasure trip
Valid during several weeks: This would be a good time to see an art exhibit that challenges your preconceived views about what is beautiful. Probably this will be entertaining rather than unsettling, and you will experience something new. Or you might go to a concert that features music entirely different from anything you have ever heard. This influence can signify a long and enjoyable pleasure trip. You will derive the most benefit from a trip to a place you have never seen before, where you can encounter something totally new.

Moon Trine Uranus
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
Theme: Sudden moves ** Here it is again!!
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.

Moon Trine Saturn
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Common-sense answers
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you will keep your emotions under control, not in a repressive, negative manner, but in a way that enables you to take a more sober and realistic view of life. You are able to put up with considerable adversity and strain during this time because it gives you patience and reserve strength. While you are not inclined to talk about your feelings to just anyone, you do not evade them in yourself. You may very well go off by yourself at this time to think about and evaluate your development. If you have a problem, seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect, who can offer emotional support and suggest practical and immediate answers. You need common-sense answers now that can be applied directly.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971

Venus Trine Jupiter
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: A pleasant respite
This influence brings grace, ease and pleasant social interaction into your life. It can also bring laziness and self-indulgence, but only if you are likely to be that way anyway. For most people this influence will be a pleasant respite from the daily grind. You just feel content, and your contentment affects others favorably, so that everyone around you today will be in good spirits. This is an excellent time for all social occasions, amusements and entertainments.

Moon Sextile Moon
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
This is a time of deep feelings. Today during the day you want to be surrounded by familiar people and objects that remind you of pleasant past experiences. It is a good time to be with relatives and family and to go over old times with them. Or you may feel like doing nothing more adventurous than staying home and curling up with a good book. With this influence there is a great need for intimacy, which you wish to share with the people you are in contact with today. When you are with a group or before the public under this influence, you are able to establish a good rapport. This is a good time for making any kind of public presentation. Friends, especially female friends, are important to you at this time. You have the ability to sit with them, listen to their troubles and offer a sympathetic ear, as well as good advice.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974

Moon Conjunction Jupiter
active only on 18 February 2007.
This morning you feel that everything is all right, and you have nothing to fear. You express your self-confidence by being above petty irritations. Not easily angered, you tolerate even the most harsh behavior from other people. But you probably won’t have to contend with “harsh behavior,” because the energy of this influence does not arouse it in those around you. You will get what you give – kindness, friendship and nurturing support. This influence can also awaken your concern for the deeper aspects of life. You may seek metaphysical and spiritual insights, but with your heart rather than your mind. Rational knowledge is not likely to satisfy you at this time.

Moon Square Ascendant
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Wrapped up
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day your emotions are strong when dealing with others, which can be either good or bad, depending on how you handle it. On the plus side, it gives you a great deal of sensitivity toward others. You can feel their moods immediately and respond to them so that you are able to fit into any group you are with. You value emotional contacts now, and you project feeling, warmth and concern to others. But on the negative side, this influence can also signify that you are so wrapped up in your moods that you can’t get out of yourself and relate to anyone else. In either case your moods are likely to fluctuate rather rapidly, so do not take your emotions too seriously at this time. You should make an effort to be with others, because forcing yourself to relate will bring out the better side of this influence.

Moon Trine Mercury
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Equilibrium
Weak, transient effect: This morning you are in touch with your feelings to an unusual extent and are more able to express them to others. You probably lack the psychological tension that usually drives people to talk about their feelings, but you can listen most sympathetically to other people’s problems now. The insight into your own feelings and the psychological equilibrium that you have now may enable you to offer effective help to others. This influence also signifies a state of balance between your feelings and your rational intellect. That is, you are able to think with great emotional sensitivity but still remain logical in your thought processes. Communications with women will be easy and quite favorable at this time, regardless of your own sex. And encounters with women may be quite informative in a positive way.

Moon Trine Saturn
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Common-sense answers
Weak, transient effect: Tonight you will keep your emotions under control, not in a repressive, negative manner, but in a way that enables you to take a more sober and realistic view of life. You are able to put up with considerable adversity and strain during this time because it gives you patience and reserve strength. While you are not inclined to talk about your feelings to just anyone, you do not evade them in yourself. You may very well go off by yourself at this time to think about and evaluate your development. If you have a problem, seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect, who can offer emotional support and suggest practical and immediate answers. You need common-sense answers now that can be applied directly.

Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969

Venus Sextile Mercury
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 20 February 2007.
Theme: A pleasant day
This day is good for arranging and participating in social get-togethers. Spend time with friends and enjoy yourself. You probably won’t want to talk about anything serious, because this is a light-hearted influence. Nevertheless, it is a good time for talking to loved ones and making it clear how you feel about them. Even if there are tensions within your relationships, this influence should enable you to discuss them, straighten them out and leave nothing behind but good feelings.

Moon in the 12th House
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 21 February 2007.
Theme: Not all that bad
At this time you may be tempted to withdraw and keep your feelings secret, especially if you are at all insecure about your inner self. Perhaps you, like many people, have always felt that if others really knew you, they wouldn’t like you. So you keep your entire emotional life secret. But whatever you hide from others, you will also hide from yourself. And whatever you hide from yourself can control you without your being aware of it. This is a time when your unconscious attitudes and fears can be very difficult. You need to communicate your deep inner feelings to another person, preferably someone you can trust. Probably you will not feel much like socializing now. And in fact it is a good time to be alone and face any aspect of yourself that you are reluctant to face. It is probably not really all that bad

Moon Sextile Sun
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme:Equanimity
Weak, transient effect: This morning you experience a time of inner and outer equanimity. You can stop and take stock of yourself without feeling completely caught up in the usual turmoil and rush of events. Even if your affairs are not going too smoothly, this influence will provide a breathing space. If you have been feeling harried, you now have at least a brief opportunity to take it easy. And if you are relaxed, you will feel even better now. Your relationships with groups and friends are quite good during this time. You are able to understand other people’s needs without losing sight of your own desires for fulfillment. Opportunities may arise from unexpected corners that will improve your life in small ways at least. In general you will benefit from being out in the world today and having as much contact with others as possible.

Moon Sextile Med.Coeli
active only on 18 February 2007.
Theme: Intense feelings
Weak, transient effect: This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. This morning you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group.

Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980

Saturn Trine Sun
activity period from middle of September 2006 until end of June 2007.
Further training ***
Valid during many months: At this time the circumstances of your life and your own inner energies are working quite well together. But this influence will not seem especially lucky; rather, your life as a whole will run smoothly, and whatever you do will come out well. Without any special sense of effort, you are actually able to make significant progress and get a great deal done. Take advantage of this and accomplish as much as possible. If an opportunity arises for further training to expand the range of your experience, take it.

Moon Opposition Jupiter
activity period from 17 February 2007 to 18 February 2007.
Theme: Asserting your freedom
Weak, transient effect: This influence stimulates your drive for personal freedom, and if you feel free and unencumbered, you will probably behave quite irresponsibly in other people’s eyes. The more you feel that people are trying to hold you back or make you toe the line, the more you will resist. The same applies to relationships. If your partner in a love relationship tries to be possessive or limit your freedom, you will resist. And a dispute could arise from your assertion of freedom. On a very different level, this influence can manifest itself as a feeling of spiritual disquiet, a mood in which you question your fundamental goals and aspirations. And, indeed this is a good time to look at your life in this way. What you learn will be very important to you.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975

Jupiter Conjunction Sun
activity period from 8 February 2007 until middle of October 2007.
Theme: Exuberant optimism ***
Valid during many months: Traditionally this is considered one of the most marvelous influences, and indeed it is quite good. Since your chart is severely afflicted by other influences at this time, this one will serve largely to
give you a break. At the very least, you will feel good at this time. Your health is good, and you feel very optimistic. For a while it may seem that everything is working out perfectly, and if you make an effort, it will. But if you simply sit back and enjoy this time, its beneficent influence will pass away with little to show for it afterward.
This is the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle of growth in your life. It is a time to initiate new projects and expand your activities so that you can experience life from a broader perspective. You may find that you can escape from some narrowing and inhibiting circumstance that has prevented you from realizing your full potential as a human being. Sometimes people travel under this configuration, but usually the traveling is more in the mind.
This is a good time to study a subject that raises your consciousness or expands your view of the world, and it is an excellent time for going back to school. You may also meet new people who expose you to aspects of life that you have never known before. Your freedom will certainly increase.
Even with this influence there are some pitfalls. First of all, your exuberant optimism can cause you to overdo or overreach yourself, so that when this time is over, you find yourself out on the proverbial limb. Exercise a certain amount of restraint and build upon what you have rather than trying to increase your holdings beyond your ability to handle them. Be careful of extravagance, and if you invest money, remember that today’s luck is not permanent.

Moon in the 1st House
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 21 February 2007.
Theme: Your emotional sensors
This is a two-day period when personal and subjective considerations will override everything else, but it need not be difficult. First of all, you feel a great need to belong and to relate to your friends or loved ones. This need turns on your emotional sensors and makes you very sensitive to the feelings and moods of the people around you, because you want to fall in with their rhythms and become sympathetic with them. This is the unconscious sign of relating to a group. Thus you are emotionally right there whenever someone needs your sympathy, warmth and understanding. You are very concerned about yourself, which is fine, but don’t distort this into a state of mind in which you cannot see anybody else’s point of view. Objectivity, especially in dealing with others, may be difficult to come by now.

Michael Waltrip, born 30 April 1963

Uranus Conjunction Chiron
activity period from beginning of April 2006 until beginning of December 2007.
Theme: A bolt from the blue ***
Valid during many months: Your nerves are probably rather strained at the moment, simply because you feel unable to digest your experiences as quickly as they are happening.
Being aware of this will help you to treat others with more consideration, and not to allow your own inner discontent to disturb them. If you can share your innermost feelings with your partner you will be more able to use this time constructively. You are probably not as alone as you sometimes believe. Everyone, including the members of your family, work colleagues and friends have to cope with losing ideals and changing values. Consciously being able to let go of deeply personal and painful old wounds – whether by turning to some form of therapy or experiencing some kind of spiritual awakening – will create space for a new sense of responsibility towards humanity as a whole. Only then can we broaden our horizons enough to see what is wrong with the world. The fight for personal freedom is always closely related to the conditions of the society in which we live.
It is therefore now important that you use your creative potential to serve the wider community. You could either join a group or project which is particularly concerned with human rights, society’s outcasts or the environment. You could even help others by telling them of your own personal healing experiences. How you help is not important, what is, is that you are able to see your own life within a wider context, so that your ideals and convictions can play a more central role.

Moon Trine Neptune
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Truly selfless
Weak, transient effect: This influence will bring forth your innermost subconscious fantasies. Today during the day you may spend considerable time daydreaming and not accomplish very much, but you will probably feel that it has been worth it. Dreams can be very refreshing to the spirit. At times we all need to withdraw a bit from the real world and encounter our inner selves. Now you have great sympathy for others. You are able to put yourself in their place and know exactly how you would feel in such a situation. You want to help others, with little thought of any benefit to yourself. This is one of those influences that makes you truly selfless, not merely in appearance. You may work to help people whom you consider less fortunate than yourself. There is often a strong interest in psychic or spiritual subjects under this influence.

Ricky Rudd, born 12 September 1956

Uranus Opposition Jupiter
activity period from beginning of April 2006 until beginning of December 2007.
Theme: Be cautious ***
Valid during many months: During this time you should watch the affairs of your life very carefully. Situations will arise suddenly thatwill and can be extremely productive and beneficial. f you recognize them in advance or extremely difficult if you do not. Events happen so fast that you will not have the usual time to figure them out before you act. If you act too quickly, you may find yourself out on a very unpleasant limb, but if you don’t act quickly enough, the chance is lost. Consequently this influence can produce both sudden losses and sudden gains. As a general rule, however, you would be well advised to be cautious. The opportunities you miss by acting slowly may not be worth the risk. This is a gambler’s influence, and many people respond to it by taking very long-shot risks. It makes you want to gamble, but it does not make you especially lucky.
In your relationships the theme of freedom will be emphasized. You may become restless and want to be free of an excessively restrictive relationship. You are inclined at this time to break away from secure situations and leap out into the unknown simply for the sake of the challenge. However, it may be that someone else will struggle to break free from your influence. Someone who has been with you a long time and has seemingly been satisfied may suddenly want out. But this is not likely to happen unless you both have been feeling a strain in your relationship, although you may not have chosen to recognize it until now.
If you have been putting up with a tense and strained situation but not getting any benefit from it, you will break free of the tension now and probably experience an enormous sense of release. Even if you don’t want to let go of the situation, you will probably be happier once it has gone.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975

Moon Square Mars
Theme:activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007
Letting off steam
Weak, transient effect: Tonight there is a real danger of needless disputes, irritability, emotionalism, rash action and hastiness, which may result in harm or inconvenience later. You will find it difficult to handle other people for awhile. One of the challenges now is to successfully let off steam without making an unnecessary shambles. If you frequently feel somewhat discouraged about yourself, you should be especially careful with this influence. You may see everything that comes your way as a threat and react much too defensively. If you have a bolder and more self-confident temperament, you may be inclined to act too quickly, to be hasty and overcritical of others. Or you may be accident prone. With this influence, you are not as careful as you should be, and you might hurt yourself.

So there you go…
As above…so below!
Tally Ho and Onward LugNutZ!!

Congrat’s to Kevin for winning the Busch race!! ( Imagine that?!!)

NASCAR – Daytona 500 – Kyle Busch Astro -Prediction

I am going to clarify myself here, as I received many an e-mail that I “pick” on Baby Busch too much.
Boohoo. That’s why I call him Big Baby Busch. His fans too. I get more beat ups from them than any other’s. GET OVER IT. It’s all in fun. I cannot help it that he is an Alien. He is what he is in the world of NASCAR’s Alien Takeover. He will always have the chance to repent and become an Earthling in The Church.
I call all the ‘scopes as they are, not because I like or dislike any driver. I know I have a lot of new reader’s this season. The horoscopes are generated according to each driver’s Astrological Natal Chart. Computer generated and interpreted. I print them as they read.
Kyle Busch’s scope reads that he is likely to cause an accident and that he will probably be particularly aggressive tomorrow. Period.
Here is is:

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Moon Square Uranus
activity period from 18 February 2007 to 19 February 2007.
Theme: Wild
Today during the day the quality of time arouses an independent and rebellious spirit in you. You are inclined to do exactly the opposite of what someone suggests and to reject whatever others say simply because they said it. For the same reasons you are impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. There is a great need to be free and to do something very different, maybe even a little bit wild. You have a strong craving for excitement and tempting danger with this influence. and you may act in ways that you would never consider in a more sober mood. This could be either good or bad, of course, depending on how conservative you usually are and how unusual or outrageous the action. For some people this can be a very liberating influence. For others it is a bit too much.If you are a tempter of danger, daring and pushing things to the edge, you may cause upsets for others around you. There is a leaning towards causing automobile accidents with this influence.

I have been doing these ‘scope’s for a long time and this aspect is quite influential. Remember Tony and Matt last year? Remember Tony’s temper many times? This is the aspect that rules his ‘scope for those days. Kyle has had it a lot. Think about why he ended up in some trouble with Mr. Hendrick and NASCAR last year and had to be a good boy for the rest of the season.
I also want to remind those of you who are new to my blog, that I also believe that Kyle Busch has the potential to be one of the greatest driver’s in NASCAR history, Some day…maybe if he can learn some self control. He’s young. He might. His natal chart shows that self control and temper issues are his biggest life lesson. Just like Tony’s does.

So as I said before to Tony, Ryan and Robby, Jr., and every other driver on the track…watch out for and stay away from Baby Busch.

NASCAR 2007 – Who will the New Gillette Young Gun Be?

Who will the next Gillette YoungGun be? Kasey Kahne has my vote. Or Martin Truex Jr. except for the tire issue…But then Young Guns are supposed to be daring, young, and brazen right?

Run over to Gillette Young Guns and vote really quick for the New Gillette Young Gun. The winner will be announced on the Feb. 18th and there is still time to vote every day!. The winner will be randomly drawn from the correct answer and will win a trip to one of the races and a Gillette Phantom car! There is also a daily trivia contest running until June that you can play everyday with a lot of cool prizes and instant winners!
It would be way cool if one of our Church Member’s won!!
Tally Ho!! Onward!! Good Luck!!

NASCAR 2007 Predictions – The Dueling has begun!

Congrat’s to Tony Stewart (**The 4th win of 2007!!) and “**why are they looking under the car with a flashlight?” Jeff Gordon! Alas…I am once again in the Burnt River Canyon and must leave to the wilds of the mining world of rocks and tunnels and gold and gems in a few minutes, and will have no sat signal to find out until probably tomorrow or worse…(scary!!) Sunday. Or maybe I will just go home. The air here makes me better. I think the only reason I was sick is because I was in the city with the lovely inversion and pollution. I was fine as soon as we got here.
Dale Jr. came back after that spin, with an awesome run!! Way to go!!
I was also very happy that Mikey earned his way in the way he should have and was humble and pensive about the “issues” that have arisen. He is acting as I would expect him to as a fine human being with true character would. I was sweating on Front row Joe. Whew!! Mike Wallace fought like heck and pulled it off. I was sorry Brian Vickers got wiped out and Juan Pablo Montoya wasn’t able to stay in the race. I think he just didn’t feel that tire. Oh well, he’s in . I think I will call him John Paul, or the Pope. Isn’t he almost a Pope in the auto racing world? I am sure I will offend someone eventually this yea, so I may as well start now.
Robby? Ouch. Darn. Oh well.
I was really rooting for my 72 year old hero, James Hylton. I was sick that Ward Burton didn’t make it.
Well LugNutz!! The time has come! It was great today and can only get better on Sunday and through the rest of the season.

My picks of the top 12 to move into the Chase in 2007, according to the Astrological data of all the drivers ( Yes I have looked at all of them. ) and the events of NASCAR as an entity of it’s own?

In case I am not able to get ‘scopes up in detail?
Ryan- Your OK…be careful of “paybacks and tire issues.

Just knock him out early with out hurting him. Hurt the car bad tho.

OK there’s the Gospel of Daytona according to Clance and Al.
Tally Ho!! Have a great one!!

ONWARD!!

NASCAR 2007 _Mikey’s Star’s

One of the themes I am seeing over and over in all of the driver’s 6 months scope’s is the “This is the time where choice’s between honesty, integrity and walking fine lines are the main lesson of the year”.
This aspect, Jupiter trine Mars, creates an easy flow of energy that enables one to act much more effectively than usual and to take initiatives that demand foresight, careful planning and considerable self-confidence. Almost any initiative taken now will work out as wanted, if done with complete and total integrity. It is a good time to start any enterprise.
Actions are governed by a strong sense of integrity. One may be ambitious during this time, but, it is very important to achieve goals correctly and in accordance with ethical standards. Others will recognize the integrity, which will increase their confidence in the driver whose ‘scope has this aspect.
Under this influence there will be a strong desire to make something of one’s self in the broadest sense of the term. For example, there is the drive to succeed, particularly in some project that one has started themselves.
This influence also signifies actions aimed at enlarging one’s scope of action, giving one more freedom of movement and creating opportunities for new experience.
This is a good time to approach a persons one does not usually get along or someone who one may have a temporary dispute with and make an effort to settle it. It will be easy to convince the other person of the integrity of your motives because it is true, and they will respect that. If you are involved in a legal controversy, this influence is a good time to settle that dispute on terms favorable to yourself.
I will be focusing on this aspect quite often during the season.
Here is one ‘scope in particular that this aspect has a lot of affect on:

Michael Waltrip, born on 30 April 1963
The report was generated for 6 months starting from February 2007 with the following birth data: male, born on 30 April 1963 at 12:00 noon in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Your sun sign is Taurus. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Leo, and your Moon is also in Leo.

Neptune conjunction Descendant:
Theme: Beware of “experts”
Beginning of April 2006 until end of January 2008:

At this time your close, intimate relationships will be difficult and confused. Also you should be very careful about consulting others for advice now, even professionals such as lawyers, marriage counselors or doctors. Of course, not all of these people will give you erroneous information even under this influence, but you would be well advised not to suspend your own critical faculties just because someone else seems to be an “expert.”
A marriage or other partnership will be difficult because communications are unclear now. Perhaps either you or your partner is trying to conceal something from the other. If so, you should stop concealing it as soon as possible, for it can only undermine the confidence you must have in each other. Even if you are concealing something for the other’s “own good,” your partner will not see it that way, and her confidence will still be undermined.
However, you may not be hiding anything. It may just be that communications between you are getting worse. Make sure that you really understand each other, and do not assume that you understand or that anything you say or do is understood automatically. Spontaneous and immediate understanding is not a feature of this influence.
Avoid legal confrontations at this time, if at all possible. Completely unexpected events are likely to happen, which you won’t be prepared for. And your opponent may use underhanded tactics that could hurt your position badly. In general your enemies, if you have any, will be very deceptive during this time. It will be very hard to understand their tactics, let alone deal with them. They may even make false overtures of friendliness to you. Do not treat everyone with suspicion, but don’t take everything at face value either.

Mid September 2006 until mid June 2007:

This is one of the most significant times of your life.
During this time your responsibilities will increase considerably, and you will try to eliminate everything in your life that is not necessary to fulfilling them. Therefore your life will become more complex and simpler at the same time. You are finishing up certain tasks in your life and going into a five- to eight-year period of relatively quiet preparation for a new beginning. You will be cutting some elements out of your life and working hard to complete others.
During this time you may have less freedom of movement than usual because of the pressure of circumstances and the need to get things done. Old tasks that have never been completed must be finished now. At work, you may have to exert more effort in order to get the job done. Your superiors may give you even more responsibility than you would choose to have. This may not be a very light-hearted time, but it should be quite productive. But do not start out on a completely new project, because in a few years you may find that you do not have the material or psychological resources to complete it. Finish what is unfinished and simplify your life.
Good relationships will not suffer appreciably during this time, but bad ones will break up completely. You are withdrawing from everything in your life that is unnecessary or in the way of your development during the next few years. Bad or difficult relationships may be among the elements that are discarded.
Try to avoid building a wall between yourself and others, for this is a great danger now. Duty, responsibility and obligations do not preclude personally satisfying relationships, even though you may feel that they do. If you cut yourself off from others unnecessarily, you will become lonely and depressed. The people who belong in your everyday life are very important for you now, especially since you are excluding those who do not belong. Often it is good to seek out the company and advice of older people, for they have the insight and understanding you need.

Saturn opposition Saturn:
Theme: A material peak
End of September 2006 until beginning of July 2007:

If you did not clear away the structures and patterns in your life that were working badly some seven years ago, this influence will be quite difficult. The old failures that you have not handled properly in the last several years will make your life exceedingly difficult now. However, everything that you have handled well will reach a culmination and prove more fruitful than ever before.
In your work you may reach a peak of success, which will be accompanied by increased responsibility. In that case you will work extremely hard but very successfully. On the other hand, you may receive abundant evidence that you are working in the wrong area altogether. This would be manifested by extreme difficulties in your work situation, such as finding your efforts blocked by coworkers or superiors. If your superiors disapprove of your performance, you should completely reevaluate your work. Even if you are doing good work, this may be a signal that the job is inadequate from your point of view. This should not be an occasion for self-doubt and despair. Rest assured that you are supposed to be doing something else.


Best be getting it together Mikey…you are better than what has transpired, and I believe, that when your daughter ask you why you “cheated?” that it was, indeed, one of the most difficult times of your life.

Good luckin the Duel!!

NASCAR Adrenaline Overdose??

I seem to have picked up either some kind of really horrid bug or am having an extreme reaction to the adrenaline rush I got from the Bud Shootout. I am not sure which it is. I am an adrenaline junky and maybe I overdosed.
Going back to bed..and staying there til I feel better.
I hate kneeling at the porcelain god’s throne.

2007 NASCAR Predictions – Bud Shootout Astro- Predictions


As Above…So Below!!
Here are the Driver’s who have the most significant aspect’s in their chart’s this evening for the Bud Shootout:

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Theme: No weak compromises!

Normally this is a very pleasant time with little difficulty. You seek out good times and pleasurable forms of recreation, and you may not feel much like working. In fact, the only real flaw of this influence is that it is not conducive to self-discipline or labor. You will be more interested in your own well-being and in indulging yourself than in accomplishing great works. Obviously, this can be either bad or good according to circumstances.This influence is usually good for all social interaction and for getting along with people. Love relationships are favorably affected. You will not be very self-assertive today. If you find yourself in conflict with someone, you will compromise rather than fight. Only be careful not to give up something that is important to you.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Theme: Wrapped up
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day your emotions are strong when dealing with others, which can be either good or bad, depending on how you handle it. On the plus side, it gives you a great deal of sensitivity toward others. You can feel their moods immediately and respond to them so that you are able to fit into any group you are with. You value emotional contacts now, and you project feeling, warmth and concern to others. But on the negative side, this influence can also signify that you are so wrapped up in your moods that you can’t get out of yourself and relate to anyone else. In either case your moods are likely to fluctuate rather rapidly, so do not take your emotions too seriously at this time. You should make an effort to be with others, because forcing yourself to relate will bring out the better side of this influence.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Theme: The last straw

*** During this time you may be much more irritable than usual and snappish with others, even though you cannot consciously recognize what you are angry about. Perhaps the most puzzling effect of this influence is that your irritability and anger seem completely irrational. They may not actually be irrational, but your anger may be about something that happened a while ago. This influence may create events that remind you of past anger that you didn’t show at the time. Now it is revived with such force that you have to show it. In this kind of situation a trivial incident makes you mad simply because it is the “last straw.” You are likely to be more angry with close friends or members of the family than with people you don’t know so well, immediate family being the most likely targets of your anger.




Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Theme: An adequate chance
Tonight you have the capacity to work either with others or alone. If you work with others you will have to have a lot of independence or some kind of leadership role in order to feel that you have been given an adequate chance. Probably you will get that chance. You have a much greater desire than usual to take the initiative and much stronger feelings of courage and self-reliance. In working with others, you will be able to give them the feeling that your aims are theirs, so that they will work with you more willingly. If you have to defend your point of view when challenged, you will not back down but will argue your case with vigor and passion. Others will respect you for this even when they do not agree. You do not feel any need to make unwarranted attacks in order to maintain yourself.

Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
Theme:Inner excitement
Today during the day you can assert yourself in a positive manner and stand your ground if necessary. You may feel more courage and confidence than usual, which you express by taking the initiative in making emotional contacts with others. You speak very directly and forcefully, but without being offensive, which others will respect you for. You understand what is needed, and you can unify your objectives and theirs, usually by talking them around to your point of view. Whenever you talk with others, you radiate an inner excitement, as if you were ready for immediate action. Under this influence you have the capacity to start projects, although you should keep in mind that this is a short-term influence and its effects will not last long.

Elliot Sadler, born 30 April 1975
Theme: Favors granted

Today you will focus your attention on getting ahead in some way. You feel strong, vigorous and confident. Your relationship with your superiors is good, and they may grant you some favor that will assist you in your efforts. Nevertheless you do not feel dependent upon anyone now, nor do you feel that you need recognition from others. Instead you draw satisfaction from knowing inside yourself what you can do. You have a good understanding of yourself, and the calmness that usually goes along with this influence enables you to plan with a cool head. Your personal and family life are also benefited by this influence, because your personal strength is coupled with a sense of responsibility and the knowledge that you don’t have to take away anything from your loved ones in order to get ahead.

Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Theme: A need for excitement

Today you seek excitement and stimulation through your love relationships, even to the point of provoking a fight. The existing patterns of your relationships will become difficult to deal with even if you know that they are basically constructive. Be careful of being impatient with loved ones, demanding that they gratify your need for excitement, unless of course you want to have an argument. On the other hand, this is a good day for getting things out into the open. This influence can be a test of the flexibility of your relationships. The less flexible they are, the more disruptive this time will be.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Theme: In tune

Weak, transient effect: This morning your personal needs and career needs are balanced, and there will not be as much tension between them as at other times. Also your emotions are in tune with your intentions so that you can go about your business with complete oneness. There is less of the feeling that two sides of you are struggling for mastery over the whole. Under this influence you have a great ability to relate to others on an emotional level, because you feel your emotions so richly yourself. You are sensitive to others’ needs, and you understand how you can use their moods and sensitivities for positive ends. On the other hand, you may choose to retire into your own personal world. The richness of feeling and emotion that this time brings may make you feel like being alone or with only your closest loved ones.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974

Theme:Intense feelings

Weak, transient effect: This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. Tonight you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group. Otherwise it is not an influence that stimulates drive and ambition.


Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Theme:Showing off

Usually this influence makes you feel very social. You enjoy being with your friends and neighbors, talking and exchanging news with them. You may feel a little like showing off, which cannot do any harm in moderation. But whatever you try to show others about your strength, independence and ability to lead, it is clear that today you need others, and you are quite aware of it. Do not try to delude other people about that. They will respect you for being honest, and of course, people like to feel needed. The old line that “No man is an island” has real meaning for you today. If nothing else, you need others to “show off” to, and you need not fear that showing off will alienate people. Unless you are an insufferable braggart to begin with, it will not have that effect at all.
Kasey Kahne, born 10 April 1980

Theme: Keep calm

** The energy of this influence comes rather explosively and may take on a life of its own. Its basic intent is to help you achieve a certain objective or make an impression on the world. But if you feel frustrated for any reason, the energy may be expressed in such a way as to work against your interests, as you would realize if you were in a calmer frame of mind. If you can control yourself during this time, it will help you accomplish a great deal of work. Don’t be afraid to show what you are made of.

Jamie McMurray, born 3 June 1976

YAY!! We get a real race today!! Yay!!!

Theme:Fair exchange
You feel contented and benevolent under this influence. You are at peace with the world and want to share your feelings with everyone whom you meet. Friends, in particular, may be the beneficiaries of your generosity, as you may benefit from theirs. In either case you both will benefit, because everything done under this influence becomes a fair exchange in the long run. This time is favorable for all financial enterprises, especially those involving foreign investments, medicine or the law. Any legal matters decided during this time will also work out to your benefit. A new friendship, or relationship with an employer that begins now will be beneficial. Such a relationship will bring out your best qualities and can truly be described as a growth relationship. You are attracted to high-minded and upright people.

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
Theme:Personal interchange

This will be a very favorable day for all kinds of communications and personal interchange with others. Even routine connections with friends and neighbors will be very fruitful, for you will be able to get through to each other with greater clarity. This is an excellent day for communicating something important to another person, in which it is necessary to be precisely clear. If you have to present the views of a group and your ideas must be in tune with theirs, this will be a favorable time. But this is also a good day to examine your own goals and expectations. This influence favors all types of commercial transactions, buying and selling or negotiating deals favorably. Today is fine for traveling for any purpose, although you will be best served if it stimulates your mind or has an educational purpose.

Juan Pablo Montoya, born 20 September 1975
Theme: A foggy or very clear day
Valid during several weeks: Today you may feel inclined to keep a secret or hold back information in order to avoid a confrontation with someone. It is not good to do this, because it will only contribute to the fog of confusion and unclarity that surrounds you during this time. For the same reasons, avoid any form of misrepresentation or distortion of the truth, even if you think it might be politic to mislead someone. In every way you should strive to keep all your communication and thinking clear, lucid, factual and rooted in the real world. If you try to avoid confrontations by acting evasively under this influence, you will run up against even more demoralizing confrontations later. Also be careful in any kind of negotiations or business dealings today, because you could be the victim of misrepresentation, even if you are not the perpetrator.
Everything else in Juan Pablo’s chart looks very good. I mean very good. For a long, long time…

Onward LugNutz!!
Let the racing begin!
Onward!!

Happy Birthday, Clance!!!

Have a WONDERFUL day.

BIG HUGS!!!!

An Introduction…….

Hey, my name is Rosi and I have been a die hard Robby fan for 4 years. I currently live in Pennsylvania with my husband of 22 years, Mike, and my 2 children, Krystina and Jeremy. My love for Robby began after meeting him in Martinsville in 2003. Previously, I didn’t care for him, but after talking with him and seeing his personality, rather than his on track persona, I became a Robby Gordon fan and haven’t looked back since. On The Move was started in May of 2005 by me and my best friend, Chris. Before starting OTM, I was a chatroom moderator at Harvick Online for about 4 years. On The Move is continually growing, improving and, simply put, getting better all the time.

I recently scaled back my hours working as a chauffeur, head chef, maid, travel agent (also providing transportation and funding) and presumed millionaire to pursue my passions of photography and polymer clay. I am currently trying to start a small business which would include handcrafted jewelry, ornaments, pins and taking pictures for just for fun, special events (such as weddings) or Senior Pictures. You can view any of my work at myrosi.com in the photo gallery or at mastrpiecesbyrosi.com (a work in progress).

HAHA!!

Rosi and I must have been writing at the same time. I hit publish and my post went away and her post showed up….Synchronicity.!! Ha!! Her update is better than mine anyway. **Too funny.

Robby Gordon – Andy Grider Dakar – Stage 13 Kayes – Tambacounda

Robby Gordon and Andy Grider had another good day. They passed CP1 in 12th position only 8mins 54secs behind the leader, S.Peterhansel. Finishing the day at 11th, 10 mins behind the stage winner C.Sainz. Robby and Andy are still holding at 8th in overall standings. Robby is almost 2 hours behind 7th C. Sousa and 25 mins ahead of 9th C. Sainz. With only 2 more days left, let’s hope their luck holds out.

Keep on Hummin’.

NASCAR 2007 Astro Prediction’s Begin TODAY!! Ryan Newman


Here is Ryan’s six month projection. Notice the long term aspect’s that have been in his chart, and compare what you know has happened. The loss of Matt Borland, not making The Chase.

This is all I have to say. Yes, Ryan…the #12 would be great for the number 12. Yes, it is synchronicity. However, as I have said now for over a year, in 2007, The Rocketman will show why he gained that nickname in the first place.

Ryan Newman, born on 8 December 1977

Neptune conjunction Ascendant
Theme:Excessive idealism

End of March 2006 until end of January 2008:
This influence will alter your relationships with others and change the kind of impression you make on people. The greatest single danger is that you are susceptible to deception by others, because you are in an unusually idealistic frame of mind, and believe in the merit of proposals that you are invited to join, even when they are useless. In fact, with your excessive idealism, you are likely to get involved in many situations that you would usually avoid. Relationships, in particular, should be watched, for you are inclined to idealize people, especially a lover, and be blind to their real faults. These faults may not be all that bad, but in your present frame of mind you probably would not be able to accept the truth. And when you finally do accept it, you will be disappointed. Do not expect more of others now than you could reasonably expect at other times. People are people, although you may lose sight of that during this time.
There is also a danger that you might lose sight of who you are and what your limitations are. You may expect too much of yourself, or you may think that you impress others in certain ways that are not at all true. If you feel that others like you, it may be that you are utterly unaware of certain complaints they have about you. And they may not be bothered at all by habits you think they really dislike, which you try to repress.
In relationships with others you may be inclined to play a martyr role. Stand up to people for what you believe to be your personal rights and do not pretend that things don’t bother you if they do. If you play the martyr, someone else will surely be willing to play the role of persecutor. This applies especially in love and career relationships.
You may also become more interested in psychic, spiritual and religious matters during this time, but since you are searching for direct experience of the divine, you are unwilling to put up with movements that are excessively formal, ritualized or intellectual. Consequently you will probably not be attracted to an orthodox church.

Uranus trine Uranus
Theme: Setting sail
Mid April 2006 until end of December 2007:
During this time in your late twenties, you become conscious that you have grown up. Any structures in your life that have held over from childhood and adolescence appear inappropriate now. You recognize your adulthood and want to take your place among adults and no longer be regarded as a child. You are seeking independence from the factors that limited you as a child, and you are trying to establish your own way of thinking about the world. If during your early adult years prior to this time you were part of a group that tended to think alike, you may no longer want to think that way. That was fine when you were a young adult, relatively insecure in your independence and needing assurance from others. Now you want your own way of thinking.
At this time you are likely to make rather significant changes in your life in order to achieve more perfect self-expression. You may be inclined to throw over an existing personal relationship in order to liberate yourself from the restrictions it imposed and to look for new relationships that will better fit your needs.

Saturn conjunction Descendant
Theme: Relationships on trial
Beginning of September 2006 until mid June 2007: This influence has two quite different meanings. First of all, it can indicate a period in which intimate one-to-one relationships become an area of great responsibility. Chief among these is your marriage or living with your partner, but it also refers to close partnerships of any sort. You must pay close attention to these relationships. Strains and tensions that have been developing in the recent past are likely to surface now and must be dealt with immediately! Sometimes the only way to handle these problems is to end the relationship. Even under the best of circumstances you will have to work harder on partnerships and try to solve as many problems as possible.
Related to this is another possible area of concern: namely, problems with people who oppose your interests in various matters. Such people can range from outright enemies to those who simply want to keep you in check for some reason. If this kind of problem arises, all you can do is try to understand the person’s motivation and do what you can to eliminate their reasons for opposing you.
But aside from these two kinds of problems involving others, this influence means that at this time you are making a significant breakthrough in your life.

For several years now you have been working quietly to get ahead and make new beginnings, particularly in your professional life. Now the work you have been doing is beginning to bear fruit and you will be acknowledged. In fact, one of the reasons you are having conflict with enemies is that now you are really beginning to get somewhere in life, which is likely to be threatening to others.

At any rate, now you are ready for the upward climb to attain your goals in life. This is a very critical time, when you must work very carefully to get ahead. Do not take any shortcuts to success that violate what you believe to be right.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune
Theme: A sense of compassion
Beginning of February 2007 until mid October 2007:
During this time your ideals will be aroused as they seldom are at other times, and you will approach life with a greater sense of compassion. People who cannot help themselves will win your sympathy especially, whether you encounter them personally or through working with others in a charitable enterprise. Your primary concern is to help individuals by giving them a hand. You may be less concerned with transforming the social order that has given rise to the conditions that oppress the people you are dealing with.

Your interest in spiritual, religious and mystical philosophy is likely to grow at this time, and you may become involved in a group that is studying these subjects. This world no longer seems to meet your needs adequately, so you have to turn inward to find a world that can give you what you really need. Here, too, you will discover that the ego’s drives for self-gratification and self-assertion may be the major factors in preventing you from getting what you want out of life. At this time the demands of the ego must be quieted at least a little, so you can hear what the inner self is really saying.

Unfortunately there is another side to this influence, which you should watch for. Some people develop a feeling of false happiness, like living in the dream world of an opium smoker, with no basis in reality. You may feel that everything is all right when it is not, or you may feel that you can do anything you want and get away with it. That is why this influence is often associated with gambling or taking risks with limited resources, often with disastrous results. This is not a very good time for investments, not because you will necessarily lose out, but because you just won’t know for sure, and you will be tempted to gamble even when it is a poor risk. For the same reason, in business deals be sure you are not the victim of a massive misrepresentation.
With this influence it is best to avoid purely selfish concerns, for when your actions are thus motivated you are most likely to encounter its negative side.

Jupiter conjunction Sun
Theme: Exuberant optimism

Mid February 2007 until end of October 2007:

Traditionally this is considered one of the most marvelous influences, and indeed it is quite good.
At the very least, you will feel good at this time. Your health is good, and you feel very optimistic. For a while it may seem that everything is working out perfectly, and if you make an effort, it will. But if you simply sit back and enjoy this time, its beneficent influence will pass away with little to show for it afterward.

This is the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle of growth in your life. It is a time to initiate new projects and expand your activities so that you can experience life from a broader perspective. You may find that you can escape from some narrowing and inhibiting circumstance that has prevented you from realizing your full potential as a human being. Sometimes people travel under this configuration, but usually the traveling is more in the mind.
This is a good time to study a subject that raises your consciousness or expands your view of the world, and it is an excellent time for going back to school. You may also meet new people who expose you to aspects of life that you have never known before. Your freedom will certainly increase.
Even with this influence there are some pitfalls. First of all, your exuberant optimism can cause you to overdo or overreach yourself, so that when this time is over, you find yourself out on the proverbial limb. Exercise a certain amount of restraint and build upon what you have rather than trying to increase your holdings beyond your ability to handle them. Be careful of extravagance, and if you invest money, remember that today’s luck is not permanent.

Uranus square Sun:
Theme:Some obstacle
Mid March 2007 until mid February 2008:
During this time sudden, unexpected events will test your ability to withstand change and to stay on the path you have chosen. Each of us sets forth certain objectives that we must accomplish in order to successfully maintain our sense of being a unique and strong individual. This influence seems to ask the question, “Do you really believe in what you are doing? Can you perform your tasks in the face of upsets and challenges from the outside world and even from psychological forces within yourself?” How well you withstand this challenge will determine how well your life will go during the next several years.

On one hand you may suddenly realize that because of circumstances that have developed over the last several years you can no longer do what you want without making a lot of changes. It may be necessary to struggle and break free from circumstances that you encounter in your work or with authorities, such as employers or government agencies. At any rate some obstacle is preventing you from doing what you have to do, and you want to rebel against it.

On the other hand, you may be doing perfectly well in all of these matters. Your job may be perfectly satisfactory, and your personal life may be fulfilling, a real expression of who you are. But something comes along, some unexpected incident that forces you to reevaluate what you are doing. For example, at work someone may throw you a “curve ball,” such as an employer suddenly questioning your effectiveness in work or a similar disruption. You may have to reevaluate your relationships to the various groups you belong to.
If you are doing what you should in terms of your life and experience, these disruptive events will only be a test that you will withstand successfully. But if you find the energies of this period destructive beyond your control, you should consider what changes must be made either to minimize these effects or to turn them into positive ones.

If this chart belonged to any other Driver…I would hesitate to say this was going to be an awesome year. However, this is Newman we are talking about. He is a pretty special guy…one who strives for personal insight, and inner balance. The Rocketman has his intuition, and let’s it guide him to the tools and signs that will point him in the right direction. Look for Ryan to make The Chase this year.

Robby Gordon – Andy Grider – Dakar – Stage 12 Update!

Ayoun – Kayes
Robby Gordon and Andy Grider went thought Checkpoint 1 in 3rd, only 52 secs behind the leader.

“Robby Gordon is flying at checkpoint. He may have dropped 1:55 behind Roma, but the NASCAR driver has shown his versatility by rising to second on the stage.”

Sure would like to know what happen the rest of the stage causing him to lose 18 mins. Robby finished the stage in 13th, 18 mins behind the winner of the stage, C.Sainz (ESP). But Robby and Andy are still sitting at 8th in overall standings, 7 hrs behind the leader, S. Peterhansel (FRA).

Keep on Hummin’!

Robby Gordon – Andy Grider- Dakar Rally Stage 5 Update

Stage 5, the 325km special was the first visit by the competitors to the Atlas Mountains in new route that took them into the Atlas mountains in Morocco would start on winding tracks with several rivers to cross at the end. On smoother roads and throughout the journey, rocks and puncture’s would play a role in the outcome.

Robby and Andy made up a little ground today after yesterday’s uh…fiasco. They have advanced overall from 49th yesterday to 36th today. As Fly say’s:“Can’t have a race without Robby getting in some trouble with the powers that be.” Look’s like another 13:00 penalty today. Speeding again, perhaps? Deviating off the course? Nearly running over spectator’s? We will just have to wait and see.

You can read all about yesterday’s frustration on Fly’s Blog, The Dakar Spot.
Don’t forget that when you want details about Robby and Andy’s days, that’s the place to go. Remember the time zone difference and the fact that he is a little busy right now and be patient. He will post details. It just takes a little bit longer for him to do it. He is faithful to the fan’s and can be counted on.
That is all I know for now. Later Gator’s. I will be back as soon as I have any more info.

“Rabbits” Sainz and Perin ended today with the win in their Volkswagen Race Touareg 2.
GRRRRRR…….Kill the Rabbit’s.

Bobby Hamilton May 29, 1957 — January 7, 2007- RIP


Bobby Hamilton passed away yesterday at his home, surrounded by his loved one’s.
He was only 49, the same age I will be at the end of this month.
Bobby lived a life and conquered adversity like no one else. He quit school at 13, and began to work and break into racing. He supported himself from that age on, focusing on his dream to race, and his family.
He began his career at Nashville Speedway USA, and won his first Track Championship there in 1987.
Bobby broke into the Winston Cup ranks different than most driver’s. He was asked to drive one of the “movie cars” for the film Days of Thunder, qualifying fifth in a movie car at the 1989 AutoWorks 500 in Phoenix. The car was the #51 Exxon-sponsored machine, portrayed in the movie as being driven by “Rowdy Burns”.
I always loved Bobby’s rough, tough kind of attitude. He took that attitude when he found out he had cancer. He looked at it as if he were in a race. He was going to win.
I lost my mother in 1999 to the same type of cancer that Bobby had, and it spread to her brain. Very quickly. She was diagnosed on Dec. 24, 1998 and passed away Feb. 19, 1999. We kept her at home, where she wanted to be, and we were all at her side when she passed. I will never stop missing her.
My heart, and prayers of comfort and strength are with Bobby’s family and loved one’s. He raced a hard, grueling race….and fought until the end. Tho the world has lost Bobby, he has won the Ultimate Race and is standing in the Ultimate Winner’s Circle, being congratulated by his old racing buddies, family and friend’s he hasn’t seen for a while. He is standing with the Ultimate Trophy held high over his head. The Trophy of Eternal Life. Hopefully we will All see him again.
In the mean time, Bobby will teach my Mom all about why her daughter has come down with LugNutZ Disease.
We will miss you, Bobby. Godspeed and Rest in Peace.

This morning your personal needs and career needs are balanced, and there will not be as much tension between them as at other times. Also your emotions are in tune with your intentions so that you can go about your business with complete oneness. There is less of the feeling that two sides of you are struggling for mastery over the whole. Under this influence you have a great ability to relate to others on an emotional level, because you feel your emotions so richly yourself. You are sensitive to others’ needs, and you understand how you can use their moods and sensitivities for positive ends. On the other hand, you may choose to retire into your own personal world. The richness of feeling and emotion that this time brings may make you feel like being alone or with only your closest loved ones.

Venus Trine Jupiter
exact at 06:07 activity period from 7 January 2007 to 9 January 2007.
This influence brings grace, ease and pleasant social interaction into your life. It can also bring laziness and self-indulgence, but only if you are likely to be that way anyway. For most people this influence will be a pleasant respite from the daily grind. You just feel content, and your contentment affects others favorably, so that everyone around you today will be in good spirits. This is an excellent time for all social occasions, amusements and entertainments. You may meet someone who will be of great service to you later. This influence often benefits financial interests. It is a good day to make a major investment, particularly in entertainment, leisure activities or the arts. This is also a good time to begin a vacation trip.

Mercury Square Saturn
exact at 07:50 activity period from 8 January 2007 to 9 January 2007.
This is a good influence for heavy mental work and for tasks that require disciplined thinking. Your critical faculties are sharp and your standards are high. However, you won’t find it easy to communicate with others; either you will have difficulty being understood, or you will give a more negative impression than you intended. This is not a good time for important negotiations or business transactions because communications between you and the other parties will probably be delayed or misinterpreted. Also it will be difficult to make the right kind of positive impression in such a situation, so delay personal contact until another day. Today you are able to think very practically, but do not let this practicality turn into narrow-mindedness or a total lack of vision.

Andy Grider, born 28 July 1973

Mercury Square Uranus
exact at 15:47 activity period from 8 January 2007 to 9 January 2007.
Your mind will be very stimulated today. You are fascinated by every new phenomenon that you encounter and eager for more. If you are relatively flexible, this need for excitement means that you may get bored more easily than usual. If you are not flexible, this could be a very nerve-wrecking day, full of little surprises and upsets that overtax your nerves. The plans you have made for the day may not work out at all, and the more you are counting on precisely one set of conditions to be fulfilled, the more upsetting this influence will be. Either way, the day’s tempo will be brisk. Thoughts will flash through your head at such an amazing speed that it will be difficult to keep track of them. Perhaps you should keep a tape recorder handy in order to record your ideas before they disappear.

Moon Sextile Med.Coeli
exact at 16:57 activity period from 8 January 2007 to 9 January 2007.
This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. Today during the day you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group. Otherwise it is not an influence that stimulates drive and ambition.

Moon Sextile Mercury exact at 20:14 activity period from 8 January 2007 to 9 January 2007.
Tonight this influence is likely to increase the tempo of your social intercourse for a few hours. You find it relatively easy to verbalize your feelings. If you have a problem or situation that you cannot handle, this is a good time to take it to a sympathetic friend. Getting another viewpoint will help you. And, of course, you may do the same for someone else. Often this time is filled with news from friends or with letters and phone calls. Actually you are attracting communication from every conceivable corner of your life. This is a good time to write letters to the people you feel strongly about. But some people under this influence become so passive that it is difficult to take such an initiative. Their tendency is to allow others to take the initiative.

‘Scope’s can’t get much better than that. There are a few other minor aspect’s in both chart’s that indicate some minor issue’s, however nothing that cannot be overcome easily.

So off we go again!! Onward Team Dakar USA!!

**On another subject, there will be a car sponsored by The Free Mason’s in the 2007 Busch Serie’s:

That plays right into my conspiracy theory that Alien’s are trying to take over NASCAR, now doesn’t it??

Robby Dordon – Dakar


Here is a quick update on Robby Gordon and Andy Grider.

Robby Gordon quote after the first Stage:

“The stage was very tight and technical and the sand was soft and deep. We had a good race going but we got stuck trying to avoid hitting some fans. I would say we lost close to five minutes by being bogged down. That was the biggest problem. We had a couple of technical issues with the truck. The clutch was slipping so we had to baby it a bit. Overall we are going to be ok. I’m satisfied with how we are going to stack up against the competition.”


Stage 2 is a challenging course with a lot of ravines. That means stay on course…or you may fall a long way down.

In case you are new to following the Dakar Rally, the race spans six countries and two continents. There were 185 cars, 240 motorcycles and 80 trucks set for the first stage, which begans in Lisbon.

Andy Grider, Navigator, who is a multi- Baja champion and finished 3rd in the Rally Tunisia in 2005 on a motorcycle, is a kind of co-pilot for Robby Gordon. They have already proved themselves as a successful team by putting their skills together to claim a victory in the 2006 Baja 1000.

VS. Channel will have up-dates starting Saturday January, 6 at 3 Pm EST.
War Wagon Artist Lori Munro, also the co-host of the “Doin’ Donuts” radio show, has announced special Dakar Rally coverage starting this Saturday January 6, 2007 at 9-10pm Eastern. tune in online at RaceTalkRadio.
Lori’s “Dakar Diary” can be heard throughout the course of the Dakar Rally on many of the RaceTalkRadio shows over the next few weeks.
You can also check out the link to Lori’s MP3 messages and the Dakar Rally News section at

Another great place to keep up on Robby, Andy is at The Dakar Spot.

Gotta run…busy day!!
Tally Ho!! Onward!!


Benny Parson’s in ICU today



Benny Parsons was moved to ICU today. We need to remember to hold him in our thoughts and prayers.
You can also e-mail Benny and his family at bp@goprn.com.

Starting the New Year right…


HA!!!!!!!
Bronco’s kicked some Sooner butt, huh?
Had to go support my little Jared….
(Secret code**Aunt Susie, Aunt Sandy, Aunt Shelley…Sis. Hayden in Primary Hermiston 3rd…1980 something)

Why yes….I am back…

Long vacation huh? *snicker**
I will be up dating On a Quest… with some of my adventures soon… but right now I just don’t have time to do both blogs. I am posting regularly at The Church. That doesn’t help if your not much a NASCAR fan tho does it!! I miss all my regular reader’s here a lot, especially The Tower members.
I will be back posting here ASAP, probably after the New Year. Don’t forget Bab’s birthday is Dec.31. I think it would suck to have a birthday on a day the whole world celebrates. I think the New Year celebration’s might over ride the birthday. I know that on the years that the Super Bowl falls on mine (Lauren’s birthday is the same day as mine you now!)everyone always forgets me.
Anyway, I am watching, as well as I can, the new grandbaby. I hear him peeping and gotta run!! MIss you All ….Later Gator’s!

Merry Christmas!!


Click Here to get this from pYzam.com!
I want to wish you all a very Merry, wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season. I hope that we can all remember that all of the Holidays in December are about love, family, friends,the wonder of life, new beginnings, forgiveness, hope and resurrection. The Highest Love of all is how we honor each other as human beings…No matter our religious,or political differences. These are my wishes and prayers for Christmas:
May all your hopes and dreams be fulfilled in the proper time and all those in pain, grief and other difficulties be comforted by the Great Comforter. Let us all remember to pray for each other…Pray for our troops and their families , no matter our opinions of the war. May we pray for our government, leadership and the peace and conditions of the all the people in the world on this day especially. May we all forgive each other… And work towards being the best human beings we can be. May we all be more loving and tolerant of each other. Instead of anger and hatred…Why can’t we just learn to agree to disagree and let it go?
We are merely human and that is why we were loved so much we were provided with the saving grace of the Greatest Love of All…
Let us only Remember…

Stealing is not ok…

12/7/06~**note to my dear readers: While I have been back from our gold mining excursion, my Dale has remained in OR to finish up some work he commited to do for a mining operation. Because of the bad weather and icy road conditions, he has not been able to get himself and our 5th wheel home. There is a break in the weather through the weekend. I am heading back to Oregon to help him get our “other home” home. I will be back next week. While I am gone…explore Dick Ralstin’s writings….you will love him as much as I did. There are plenty of stories there…enough to keep you busy until NASCAR begins it’s 2007 season. I promise you will not be sorry!!

See ya next week!!

There are benefits and disadvantages to being able to travel and spend the majority of your summer away from home. Cell phones, emails and other demands of the world cannot touch you. Simplicity is a wonderful blessing. However, there are a few drawbacks…
I have been sorting through my e-mails and noted one from Aug 1st. It was an e-mail notifying me that my very special friend, Dick Ralstin had passed away July 31st.
I “met” Dick when I had e-mailed him requesting permission to write about him and use some info and pictures from his website for a post I wanted to do about him.
He gave me permission to use anything I wanted and our friendship was “off to the races” from there.
We e-mailed back and forth, sometimes daily, and at least weekly from that day forward. We joked and kidded, talked about racing day from the past, present and future. We talked about life, addiction, his love of New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment. Dick called it “our secret”…”Don’t want too many people coming here you know.”
We talked of Off Road Racing,Robby Gordon, Baja, Eldora, etc. I lived for a short while near Pikes Peak, where he took a very interesting and wild ride. I know that road…It had to be way worse then. He told me about the Novi..WOW!! His Novi saga’s are important preludes to the history of racing. NASCAR today would not be the same without Dick Ralstin.
We talked of our love for photography and nature and animals. We marveled how much his cat Amigo and my 17 year old cat Mouser looked alike.
He told me that yes, he had made a lot of mistakes in his life, but he did not regret how he had lived his life. He lived his life…He lived it. He had crossed paths with many an important and famous personality and participated in some of the most important events in the world. He was also one of the most humble men I have ever met. He stated when I had first approached him about writing about him ,”I don’t know why the Hell anyone would want to write about me.”
He was a real writer…A real journalist. He made those of us that try to write in even semi-decent English look like moron’s.
I learned so much from him…not just about racing, but about life.
He loved his daughter Stormy and her husband so dearly. Bless their hearts….I was told that she read his cards daily to him, right up until the end. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I have lost both of mine. My prayers are with you and your husband and families, Stormy.

Dale and I had planned to stop and see him when we went South this month or early Jan. I am so sorry I will never have that opportunity. I will miss our e-mails…I will miss my buddy.
Spend some time inside Dick’s website. Spend some time in Dick’s world. He wrote as he was.

I will miss him a whole lot.
*******************************************************************************
Dear Dick,
Rest in Peace my friend…we will have that Crown and Burrito another time. It will be better then any way…It will be with Perfection.
I am sorry I didn’t answer your last e-mail to me. We had gone already when it arrived. I know tho, you were happy for us and told me to Chase my Dreams so I never created regret. I am…And I will. I will never forget you.
Yes…I am quitting smoking. I promised you and I meant it. I just need you on my shoulder to help me a little ok? I think you are already my guardian angel…The doc said, had that tire not fell off, I would probably be dead or severely brain injured. You were The Tire Man. The rock formation directly above where I wrecked is oddly enough, called Firestone.
Godspeed and Blessed Be…
Merry Meet ya someday.
Love ya,
Clance’

Read the post I did last winter…spend some time reading the memoir’s, articles and stories on Dick’s website. Look at the many, many historical pictures there. Above all…get to know who Dick was.
He is…was…and Always will be worth it.

It has come to my attention that at http://nascarthunder.net/ , there are entire posts, all copyrighted material, including text , art, and original photos from my blog, The Church of The Great Oval, all posted without my permission. I notice that this site is also allowing commentary about my posts, which is absolutely unacceptable and violates the Fair Use doctrine of the copyright act.

I violated my own policy. That’s ok tho…
It’s MY blog!
So onward now…
Dear Sploggers ~ other wise known as Blog Thieves and other names that cannot pass a Pastor’s lips:**I have already sworn a bit today. I believe I may not be the only one…

The purpose of Aggregation is not stealing entire blogs and adding them to your site as if we were/are contributors. Your site gives the impression that we are all collaborating and part of your website. You are taking commentary on my/our copyrighted work. Your site is also for the purpose of making money which is strictly forbidden in my copyrights. I have also notified, or been notified by, many of the other writer’s whose copyrights you are violating, including scraping the entire editorial staff at Scene Daily , including Lee Mongomery’s newest post, Covers.com or www.SportsDirectInc.com, Full Throttle, and how DARE you steal from Antonette, and my CIM sister Bethie. You have jumped into the wrong Motor Sports crowd Buddy. We are all inter- connected, both in Spirit and Ethernet Spirit. You are stealing from the U.S., Canada, and the Phillipines. I think you think you are real smart. You are not.
Retaliation by submitting our names and email addresses to various search engines, home biz spammers and other ugly little creatures will only do you more harm. You will get in trouble with not only those of us from whom you are stealing, but the biz’s that you are fraudulently submitting our names to won’t like you much either. Do you not realize that you can be and are being tracked? DUH…Do you think you are the only person in the world with some fancy software that you are using for illegal purposes, of which I am sure it was not designed for.
Now, take for instance the picture at the top of my blog. I have this really neat little ditty embedded in it that tells me everywhere it goes…the IP of anyone who lifts it right clicking…Any website it ends up on…It tells me all sorts of neat things. We all have invisible things beaver’s to tell us what’s happening, embedded in our blogs… It may take me awhile to find it…but that’s only cuz I am kinda lazy… I have many pals that are not. I also happen to have a very badly broken ankle/leg, which allows me the pleasure of having a lot of time to just sit around with my foot above my heart…Keyboard on my lap…Looking around…Wherever I need to look.
Get it?
It is illegal to steal…And to Spam. And you are stealing from a Church! What kind of a human would do that? Oooohwheee!

This is my blog…I can say and write anything I want as long as I do it legally. I have a thing about KARMA.
What comes around goes around my friends…I am watching you buddy. If you 403 me, I will just have to send out my Lug Nut Troops. You don’t want that. Then you would probably be trying to ban the only traffic you get…
Onward Lug NutZ!!
Tally HO!!

Thanksgiving is over.

Well ,I made through Thanksgiving with all the little ones, daughters and hubby’s. Nothing broken. Wood floors still shine after a good mopping. The only damage that was actually done was I dumped a huge cup of coffee in the middle of my living room, and one of the kids flushed something down the toilet that created a bit of a well, back up issue…which somehow turned into a flood the floor issue.
The new meds the Doc put me on are kicking my butt and I am sleeping a lot. Forgive me if I don’t get around to reading you all for a few days. I do get to put more pressure on my leg now and begin to re-learn how to walk. The torture device has been changed again but it will keep both my feet headed in the same direction. My bones are knitting well to all the titanium in the leg/ankle..so all is well there. Still can’t drive…I MISS RIDING MY BIKE A LOT.
Check out this blog Stop it! Quit following me! She is a dear friend of mine, a fabulous artist in her own right and a huge Jimmie Johnson fan. She lived in Daytona for awhile and has a lot of interesting stories about NASCAR and life. Lorelei is awesome you will love her. Make sure you read her posts from the very first one on. She is a kick!
So Onward Lug Nutz and keep the faith…Tally Ho!!

Predicting the Future

This is totally what I expect to look like after Thanksgiving is over. It is what I looked like at the last birthday function. **These little gadgets are pretty cool…try it you’ll like it!
Yes, this really is me. Posted by Picasa

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!

Happy Thankgiving to all of you!! I will be hosting the whole famdamily (I have not hosted for years….my daughter’s thinks it’s about my turn. I guess I can lay tarps all over my wood floors and cover everything I have in tarps too. Mind you…never in all these years have all seven of the Grandkids been in our home at the same time. I am scared.

Really, really… SCARED.

Jimmie Johnson NASCAR Champion

Congrats to Jimmie…he earned it and it was more than a miracle that you may realize. He has come much further than you may realize. Congat’s to Chad and crew also!
Ho hummmmm….now we must all come up with new things to write about. The big NASCAR inspiration is over. Now what? How creative can we get?
I am of to la-la land. Doc’ changed my pain meds, added a couple other ones and they are kicking my butt. To those that I may promised I would do something for you….forget it. Ain’t gonna happen today.
Tally HO!!
Onward to 2007.

NASCAR in Homestead – The Chase Final Astro Prediction – Matt Kenseth


Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972 Mars Trine Med.Coeli activity period from 18 November 2006 to 21 November 2006. Theme: Taking the initiative **

At this time you feel very self-assured and confident, and you will have the necessary material and physical resources to carry out whatever objectives you have in mind. If necessary, you work very hard to gather people who will work with you and to assure whatever backing you need. You undertake every task with great zeal and energy. And you don’t stand about waiting for someone to give you directions. You take the initiative yourself and finish the task swiftly. Also you will contribute everything you have to the effort. You are sufficiently confident of success that you are willing to take risks, and such risks are reasonably likely to turn out well. This process takes place in such a way that you learn more about yourself, and at the same time you are able to let others know clearly where you stand.

Mars Sextile Moon activity period from 18 November 2006 to 21 November 2006. Theme: On the lookout
You will have a strong desire to experience with all of your faculties as a whole person, not just with your mind. Also you will defend your beliefs and opinions with emotional and passionate fervor. It is not that you are looking for a fight, but you will not run from one either. You won’t allow anyone to walk all over you so long as this influence lasts. You seek out relationships and friends who will arouse your emotions as well as your intellect, and you may be on the lookout for someone with whom you can have a passionate sexual relationship. This influence also makes existing sexual relationships more intense. You will have the energy to work very hard, but only on projects that affect you personally. There is some impulsiveness with this influence and a tendency to leap to conclusions.

Chiron Sextile Neptune exact at 17:25 activity period from end of January 2006 until beginning of December 2006. Theme: Day Dreaming
Valid during many months: This influence will make it easier for you to contact the world of your dreams and fantasies. This may not be especially apparent when carrying out your daily routine, except perhaps if your occupation allows you to express your creative side in some way. If this is the case, this could be an inspirational time in which you could feel unable to keep track of the overwhelming flood of images emerging from your unconscious. This time will also be positive for you if your work involves caring for those suffering from physical and emotional pain, because it makes you more sensitive, helping you to understand many of the underlying causes of human suffering which are incomprehensible to the rational mind.
This influence will also help you to better understand problematic issues which you would usually rather ignore. It would probably do you good to get away from the rough and tumble of everyday life occasionally, giving your mind the chance to wander. Images from your childhood and adolescence could come to you during times of withdrawal, and these could bring back both beautiful and painful memories. This soothing time will help you see painful memories in a new light, making it easier for you to forgive those people who hurt you. Releasing yourself from your inner hurt will also increase your sense of freedom.

Moon Trine Ascendant exact at 07:52 active only on 19 November 2006 Theme: Maternal instincts
Weak, transient effect: This influence is good for all kinds of relationships in that all your contacts with others this morning are warm and emotional. You do not choose superficial or formal contacts but instead desire to make a personal connection with everyone you meet. At the same time you feel a strong need to protect and nurture those whom you are close to. There is something of the maternal instinct in the way you care for others. You are also very sensitive to people’s emotional needs and wants, which enables you to respond to them at a very deep level of understanding. You will want to feel that you belong to any group that you associate with at this time. Fortunately you will also be able to make others feel that they belong with you. Your emotions are so much closer to the surface of your being that you can see them clearly.

Moon Trine Med.Coeli exact at 21:15 activity period from 19 November 2006 to 20 November 2006. Theme: In tune
Weak, transient effect: Tonight your personal needs and career needs are balanced, and there will not be as much tension between them as at other times. Also your emotions are in tune with your intentions so that you can go about your business with complete oneness. There is less of the feeling that two sides of you are struggling for mastery over the whole. Under this influence you have a great ability to relate to others on an emotional level, because you feel your emotions so richly yourself. You are sensitive to others’ needs, and you understand how you can use their moods and sensitivities for positive ends. On the other hand, you may choose to retire into your own personal world. The richness of feeling and emotion that this time brings may make you feel like being alone or with only your closest loved ones.

Moon Sextile Moon exact at 21:23 activity period from 19 November 2006 to 20 November 2006 Theme: A need for intimacy
Weak, transient effect: This is a time of deep feelings. Tonight you want to be surrounded by familiar people and objects that remind you of pleasant past experiences. It is a good time to be with relatives and family and to go over old times with them. Or you may feel like doing nothing more adventurous than staying home and curling up with a good book. With this influence there is a great need for intimacy, which you wish to share with the people you are in contact with today. When you are with a group or before the public under this influence, you are able to establish a good rapport. This is a good time for making any kind of public presentation. Friends, especially female friends, are important to you at this time. You have the ability to sit with them, listen to their troubles and offer a sympathetic ear, as well as good advice.

**Uranus Trine Ascendant activity period from beginning of June 2005 until end of January 2007.  Theme: Transient relationships***
Valid during many months: This is a time of increased freedom in and through your personal relationships. You are able to express yourself to others in ways that have never before been possible for you. This may take the form of a new interest or hobby or a new field of study. You may be attracted to technical and scientific subjects, as well as to occult studies such as astrology.
You respond much more quickly to people around you now and generally give the impression of being more alive and willing to challenge life, and you are. You may also seem somewhat impulsive and perhaps a bit nervous, but most people will not find you upsetting.
Sudden new contacts with others may provide opportunities to branch out and do things that you have never done before. You may have a chance to travel, for example, or to take up some completely new activity. Your old way of life no longer interests you, and if someone tries to convince you to keep to your old ways, you just get bored.
New relationships may begin now that challenge you creatively, but they may not last longer than this influence, so it is well not to make any permanent commitment until later. Even though the relationships may be transient, they will have a liberating effect upon you and increase your capacity to experience life. Often the other person will act as a “guru,” that is, he or she will open up spiritual dimensions that you have never experienced before. However, do not expect this person to come in standard guru clothing. It could be anyone, and very often he or she will not look at all like the conventional notion of a spiritual teacher. Enlightenment takes as many forms as there are teachers and students.

Jimmy Johnson, born 17 September 1975
Saturn Opposition Moon
activity period from end of October 2006 until end of July 2007.

Theme: An emotional trial
*** Valid during many months: This is one of the most emotionally trying influences. It is frequently associated with domestic or professional problems, emotional depression, loneliness, difficulties with women or difficulties with personal relationships, often leading to breakups.
This influence represents an “alienation crisis,” that is, a crisis brought about by the discovery that you have been neglecting your emotional and psychological needs. As a result you feel alone and disconnected from others, like an alien in the world whom no one else can ever adequately understand.
To a greater or lesser extent, everyone’s life revolves around an overall task or purpose that makes one’s life unique. The purpose may be a job, motherhood, fatherhood, some movement that you believe in or anything else that gives you a sense of purpose. Often an alienation crisis occurs when you discover that you have gone too far too fast in pursuit of your life purpose and have neglected your psychological and emotional needs. Perhaps you have neglected your relationships or your domestic life, or you have repressed your feelings. In this way you build up a wall between yourself and others, which makes you feel alone and alienated.
You must make your personal life and your profession or other central purpose work together. That will require changing your lifestyle so that you can pay equal attention to both.

Moon in the 12th House 12 exact at 02:31
activity period from 19 November 2006 to 21 November 2006. 

Theme: Maybe not all that bad
At this time you may be tempted to withdraw and keep your feelings secret, especially if you are at all insecure about your inner self. Perhaps you, like many people, have always felt that if others really knew you, they wouldn’t like you. So you keep your entire emotional life secret. But whatever you hide from others, you will also hide from yourself. And whatever you hide from yourself can control you without your being aware of it. This is a time when your unconscious attitudes and fears can be very difficult. You need to communicate your deep inner feelings to another person, preferably someone you can trust. Probably you will not feel much like socializing now. And in fact it is a good time to be alone and face any aspect of yourself that you are reluctant to face. It is probably not really all that bad.

Moon Sextile Med.Coeli exact at 07:58
activity period from 19 November 2006 to 20 November 2006.

Theme:Intense feelings
Weak, transient effect: This influence normally indicates a few hours of unusually intense feelings. This morning you will have a strong desire to know yourself and to experience life largely through the emotion. This is probably not the best time for work that requires a completely clear and dispassionate state of consciousness, but you will not feel like doing that kind of work anyway. You will want to engage your emotions in whatever you do, and you will experience a richness of feeling and inner life that is satisfying in itself. This influence is good for any business matters concerning the general public or for any situation in which you have to appear before the public or a large group. Otherwise it is not an influence that stimulates drive and ambition.

The very telling aspect went into affect the first of Nov.?

Mars in the 12th House
activity period from beginning of November 2006 until beginning of December 2006.

Theme: Self-defense*
Valid during several weeks: Past behavior patterns that have become completely unconscious now become active and come into play without your knowing it. Your efforts at self-assertion are undermined by these behavior patterns that you are not even aware of. And unfortunately the people who are alienated by these actions probably will not come out and say so, but will work behind the scenes to block your efforts. The only way you can counter this effect is to become completely conscious of yourself and these little self-defeating acts. If you feel emotionally upset as you often will during this time, refrain from any kind of significant confrontation with others. Instead, confront yourself. It is best at this time to work alone as much as possible.

In case you did not see Jimmie Johnson’s scope earlier this week, you can read it here.

Yes… I am sticking my neck out here. I believe J.J. may get a DNF. Something not too good is going to happen anyway.

I think the Chase will come down to a very close Kenseth ( Kenseth winning) and Harvick finish with Jr. and Denny right behind. Tony will get rid of Jeff Gordon so he can’t help J.J. and then rush to help Denny and Jr.
Yup that’s what I think…
Tally Ho!

NASCAR Homestead Astro-Predictions-Kevin Harvick

Kevin Harvick, born 8 December 1975
**Note this Long Term influence
Pluto Opposition Mars activity period from end of December 2005 until middle of October 2007.
Theme: A roughshod ride

Valid during many months: This can be a very powerful but somewhat difficult influence to handle, because the energies are so intense that harnessing them creatively may be a problem. But it is not impossible. The difficulty is that your own or someone else’s ego energies and will to dominate are running rampant in your life. If they are someone else’s energies, the ultimate purpose is to test the security of your own ego. You will feel great tensions with the people in your life and possibly have serious flare-ups. First of all, you have to recognize that you have a very strong drive to win, to succeed and, if necessary, to exercise dominion over others in your drive to succeed. These feelings are perfectly all right if you acknowledge them and use them wisely. If you deny them, you will experience tension within yourself with regard to others and not know the source. You will find that people’s actions irritate you greatly and that you are often angry without understanding why. At its worst, the effort to suppress this energy will lead to your becoming the victim of someone else’s energy. This can even lead to violence and injury, so avoid taking any serious risks that could lead to accidents during this time. If, on the other hand, you let the energy out with no restraint, you may run roughshod over everyone in your way and scramble furiously toward the top. But in doing this you are likely to arouse truly horrendous opposition from people who will struggle to the death to prevent you from succeeding. Your actions make it clear to others that you are a threat to them at the deepest psychological or even physical levels of their lives. But you can use this energy to accomplish much work and make great changes around you. Just don’t get so wrapped up in your own ego that you step on everyone else’s toes. Try to incorporate others into your work and make it a group effort as much as possible. If you do this well, others will acknowledge you as the leader anyway.
Chiron Square Uranus activity period from end of January 2006 until middle of December 2006. Theme: Uproar
Valid during many months: A series of sudden and unexpected events will probably strain your nerves to the utmost, making this a difficult time. This is most likely to happen if you have spent the last few years trying to please everyone. Any turmoil in the outside world is merely an indication that you have been seething inside for quite some time. Although it would be understandable if you now felt like packing everything in, this is certainly not the best solution. You will find it hardest to tolerate hypocritical and sanctimonious behavior – whether your own or others’. It is therefore important to clear the air and to honestly consider which aspects of your life reflect your authentic inner nature. This influence will help you to scrutinize your ideals and visions, and to take your leave from those which are no longer relevant to any important decisions you have to make. For example, you might find that a political party or like-minded group of people of which you were once a member has lost its appeal. A clear decision to take all your imperfections seriously, and not to make lazy compromises, can be both healing and liberating, helping to give birth to new things in your life.
Venus Trine Saturn Nov 18-20 Theme: Sobriety and stability

You are satisfied with reliable, stable relationships at this time and do not make unrealistic demands on others. You recognize that your loved ones are human, and you ask only that they live up to their obligations and you will do the same in return. This is a good time to discuss any problems that may have arisen with a relationship, because your sense of reality is strong and you can be objective. Relationships that begin under this influence are characterized by sobriety and stability. They may not be demonstrative, but there is a steadiness of feeling that enables them to survive when others fail. Often such a relationship occurs because of practical rather than romantic considerations, but this does not weaken it.

Moon Trine Ascendant Theme: Belonging

Weak, transient effect: This influence is good for all kinds of relationships in that all your contacts with others this morning are warm and emotional. You do not choose superficial or formal contacts but instead desire to make a personal connection with everyone you meet. At the same time you feel a strong need to protect and nurture those whom you are close to. There is something of the maternal instinct in the way you care for others. You are also very sensitive to people’s emotional needs and wants, which enables you to respond to them at a very deep level of understanding. You will want to feel that you belong to any group that you associate with at this time. Fortunately you will also be able to make others feel that they belong with you. Your emotions are so much closer to the surface of your being that you can see them clearly.

NASCAR Homestead Astro-Predictions Denny Hamlin


Happy Birthday Denny!!

Denny has only these two active aspects today for his daily chart. His long term aspect
are about following his dreams. Obviously those are happening. Denny’s Natal chart shows big promise in life for him. Watch out for the future. This young man is going to do great things. Look where he is at in his life right now. It only get’s better.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980
Moon Opposition Chiron Theme: No chance **active only on race day
At this time feelings, desires and moods pull you in a direction which is not very
beneficial for you and could easily undermine your self- confidence. It is hard to say
what form this actually takes. Maybe you buy some clothes in which you look a bit
strange, or you challenge someone to a game which you have absolutely no chance of
winning. One way or another you could be subconsciously determined to make yourself a
laughing stock or show yourself up. It is possible that you do this not to yourself
but, unintentionally, to someone else – particularly women and children who are close
to you are potential victims. Fortunately, this influence is very weak and lasts at
most half a day.

Moon Square Ascendant activity period from 18 November 2006 to 19 November 2006. Theme: Wrapped up
Weak, transient effect: This morning your emotions are strong when dealing with others,
which can be either good or bad, depending on how you handle it. On the plus side, it
gives you a great deal of sensitivity toward others. You can feel their moods
immediately and respond to them so that you are able to fit into any group you are
with. You value emotional contacts now, and you project feeling, warmth and concern to
others. But on the negative side, this influence can also signify that you are so
wrapped up in your moods that you can’t get out of yourself and relate to anyone else.
In either case your moods are likely to fluctuate rather rapidly, so do not take your
emotions too seriously at this time. You should make an effort to be with others,
because forcing yourself to relate will bring out the better side of this influence.

NASCAR in Homestead -The Chase Final Astro Predictions-Dale Earnhardt Jr.


Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974

Mars Trine Saturn
Theme: Seeing clearly

This influence confers patience and willingness to do difficult and exacting work. Therefore, this is a good time to do any work that you have to keep on plugging at, even though it isn’t rewarding. If this influence comes during a period that is otherwise difficult, it guarantees that for the moment at least you will be able to cope with your situation, no matter how difficult it becomes. Intellectual or physical work that requires perseverance and great attention to detail is favored by this influence. Also, this influence will help you get to know yourself better. The close attention to detail that characterizes your way of seeing now will help you see yourself and your own reactions very clearly.

Moon Square Moon
Theme: Discordant emotions

Weak, transient effect: This influence, although not long lasting, can provide some moments of difficulty and irritation. Your emotions are discordant, and you may be more inclined to get into disagreements with others. This will probably have the greatest effect in your most personal life and domestic situation. Consequently you should watch out for unnecessary conflicts with loved ones. In a group, you will not feel that your interests are in accord with the others’ interests. It is not a good time to work with people or to make any kind of public appearance, if peace and harmony is your goal. However, if you are trying to stir people up about some issue or call their attention to circumstances that must be dealt with, this influence can be quite helpful, although the others may not appreciate your role in this.

Moon Trine Saturn
Theme: Common-sense answers

Weak, transient effect: Tonight you will keep your emotions under control, not in a repressive, negative manner, but in a way that enables you to take a more sober and realistic view of life. You are able to put up with considerable adversity and strain during this time because it gives you patience and reserve strength. While you are not inclined to talk about your feelings to just anyone, you do not evade them in yourself. You may very well go off by yourself at this time to think about and evaluate your development. If you have a problem, seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect, who can offer emotional support and suggest practical and immediate answers. You need common-sense answers now that can be applied directly.Jr. has several other fleeting aspects on Sunday that I do not believe will affect him at all because the are only for a few minutes and very weak.

All in all, I think Jr. will do well today.

Only in Idaho…

While you are waiting for ‘scope’s, I will share one example of why I perceive the majority of the people who vote, to be morons. Read more here at MSNBC .

Sheesh!! Katrina victims? We need protected from from Katrina Victims??? In Nov. 2006??? Watch out…Ada and Canyon County and every county in Idaho is at risk!! Lock your door and get your guns sighted in. Unbelievable idiocy.
I can’t believe this made National News. Greenleaf’s resident’s are probably even proud of it.
I am embarrassed to be in Idaho, once again. We don’t not grow as many potatoes as we used too. We grow Dumb Ass Potato Heads.
‘Scope’s will be up in a little bit. They will get my mind off this bunch of at least.

Sheesh!!!
Sheesh again!

Jimmy is hosting a special call-in edition of his weekly XM Satellite Radio show today
You can talk to Jimmie and Marty Smith during the show at
866-250-8535. Jimmie and Marty will also be answering e-mails sent to jimmiejohnson@xmradio.com.
Should we tell him his ‘scope is lousy? No?? Yes?? Do you think it would influence his thoughts and make him worry about it….therefore creating a “loser” mindset? OR…??
Do you think it will make him more determined to “overcome adversity”?
You know how the team is about that. If he wins at Homestead it would be overcoming adversity alright.
It would be a Miracle.
But….if anyone can do it, J.J. and Chad can. I will post Chad’s ‘scope later today.

NASCAR Numerology



I got to thinking last night about some of the numerology and timing of Matt Kenseth being #17 and 17 points out at the beginning of the race in Phoenix yesterday. That led me to take a look at quite a few numbers, stats and dates. There are a lot of 8′s coming up this weekend…The site in the above link is pretty cool.

8 – POWER
Traits:executive, professional, strength, money PROBLEM SOLVER, organizer, achiever, judgment
The number 8 symbolizes the principle of domination, control, and achievement. It is the executive decision-maker. The 8 tends to be rather formal, stern, and hard-headed. More comfortable in the realm of material, tangible facts, the 8 will be truly exceptional as soon as it develops its spiritual connection and intuition. A natural leader with a good grasp of how to accomplish any goal, it must learn compassion.
Gifts: Decisiveness, courage, focus, delegation
Challenges: Belligerence, manipulation, anger, judgment
Personal Goal: To exercise control over environment, to achieve power and status
Fears: Loss of prestige, being at the mercy of circumstances or of others less capable
Succeeds as: Any type of professional, business owner, publisher, contractor, engineer, financial analyst, judge*******************
There are 3 double-digit numbers that, while they are rooted in the single-digit numbers, require special emphasis and attention. These are 11, 22, and 33.
They are called Master numbers because they possess more potential than other numbers. They are highly charged, difficult to handle, and require time, maturity, and great effort to integrate into one’s personality.
11 – IDEALIST
Traits:artist, celebrity, highly energized INSPIRATION, psychological, radical, sensitive
The number 11 symbolizes the principle of enlightenment. It colors everything with drama, a visionary outlook, artistic sensitivity, and a sparkling quality. It is not truly practical, but its contribution is its unique perspective and philosophy which instigates new consciousness. Its energy is very high-strung, intense, mercurial, polarized (off an on), and subtle.
Gifts: Revealing higher truths, transformation, poetic interpretation, romance
Challenges: Illusion, isolation, allergies, over-stimulation
Personal Goal: Living the dream
Fears: Drudgery, restriction, ugliness, boredom
Succeeds as: Media star, poet, inventor, psychologist, minister, designer, society figure, beauty queen, occultist

No. I won’t tell you who I believe will win. Yet. Take a look yourself, around here and around the other NASCAR blogs. The answer is out there somewhere in the blogosphere.
Thanks to The Big Lead for the shout!!
** By the way:
Hope all you other Blogger Blogger’s are aware that Blogger will be down for several hours this evening. If your going to post, post. It will save you some frustration later….

“en wid dat s/he skip out des ez lively as a cricket” Uncle Remus

I just read a post at Dustin’s where he had a blog thief. I decided I better see if anyone decided to try to steal me again. I am still searching but I did this post about me I had forgotton about. I found it earlier this summer…**snicker**
Awful blogs
I kept the old ugly template on purpose because of that guy. Denise has been waiting for me now for months…to add that Moodswing Creations button to my blog.

Kevin Harvick wins in Phoenix!!

Wow!! What a great race! Congrats to Kevin Harvick for the Sweep!! As I said…he was going to be”in tune”. His aspects were in absolute perfect alignment for him to win, even tho he had near battery failure and even had to be pushed to restart the last 3 laps of the race. I think that car kept going off pure Harvick energies.

Now…let’s talk about the rest of the race. Astrologically speaking. Did I tell you Jimmy and Chad’s scope’s were about as perfect as they might be able to be? There could have been no greater aspects for Jimmy **(yes… I know I always spell Jimmie wrong, I do it on purpose. Don’t send me 500 mean emails because I do it. I am not being mean. It’s faked Typoneese. Typoneese is the Official Prayer Language of The Church of the Great Oval.) and Chad today. They once again, overcame adversity with a tremendous show of skill and finesse. J.J. drove with absolute beauty. He now needs only to finish 12th at Homestead to take The Championship. Can he keep up this momentum? Will J.J. and Chad’s aspects continue to be complimentary?

Jr.’s aspects were right on. He made the top 5. He is still capable of winning The Chase. He has come so far this year. His Dad would be right proud of that boy. No. I am wrong. His Dad would very proud of Dale Jr. the Man.

Matt Kenseth’s aspect’s are right on, tho I don’t think he realizes it. The race started today with the #17, 17 points out. Interesting numerology. He has had some issues…but look where he is.

Denny’s aspects were right on. He is in and capable of winning.

Jeff Gordon did have a run in with someone who had similar inclinations. Now he’s out of the Chase. Karma? Maybe. Who owns J.J.’s car??
Carl did show a bit of temper. I am actually glad to see him not trying to be perfect Mr. Smiley this year.
Tony? Well, NBC didn’t say much about Tony but I imagine he wasn’t singing
Zipp-a-delli-doo-dah!

Mark Martin did well. I am so happy for him. He needed the lift. Jeff Burton? Well? Do you think I was right…or wrong?
Ryan Newman is very well aware…Good Job Ryan. I hate to hear that Ryan may lose Matt Borland as his CC but family is important. Good call Matt.
The Elder Alien? I think his marriage has turned him into a part-time Earthling. Who woulda thunk this time last year that he would be an Honorary Deputy? (**Did anyone else catch his interaction with Eva today? That was very telling. The man is head over heels in love and so is she. Sweet…)

I Wonder if Brian France will be an Honorary Police Officer this time next year?

So…we move into the
Big Week.

Yes… I have done the ‘scopes for Homestead…and NO! I won’t tell you what they say… Right now anyway. I have a few wagers to make. If anyone will win anything on this, it will be ME. Well… I take that back. There is another NASCAR Blogger who, if I am wrong will win something. He/She isn’t talking tho. I will be sharing with the founding members of The Church of the Great Oval early. I will hint at it all week on the Blog (s?)…I have discussed it here and there…in the past…and recently. We can make it a Quest… like the Davinci Code. No Hex. Dawg. Think he is listening? Go Jr.!!
Think Platinum….like my #1 #88 fan is still digging, to make me rich.

NASCAR Chase for the Championship in Phoenix Astro-Predictions

WOW!! With 2 races left in The Chase, there are some very exciting aspects for the race this weekend…here are the ‘scope’s for the Driver’s that are still mathematically eligible for the Chase and another interesting ‘scope or two.

Congrats to Matt Kenseth for winning the Busch Race today.

Venus Square Moon
This influence usually creates an amorous mood, making you want to relate to another person. But there are some problems, too, with this influence. If you are jealous and possessive of your partner, it may produce feelings of love that are suffocating to her. Recognize that even the closest relationship needs room to breathe, and avoid being overprotective and smothering. Your partner needs a lover, not a father! However, you will encounter this problem only if you already tend to be possessive in love. This type of emotion has a positive side also, for it can be transmuted into a very warm, protective kind of love that nourishes and supports a lover. In itself the emotion is neither good nor bad; it just has to find an appropriate outlet.

**Theme: Personal advancement
This is an excellent influence for all kinds of group activity and for being with friends. You feel unusually sociable, and people will enjoy your company. Friends may be of considerable benefit to you today. You should certainly seek out other people, and if you need a favor from someone, this would be a good time to ask. This influence is extremely good for any interview in which you must make a good impression. By chance, you may make a new friend in the course of your everyday activities. The familiar setting in which you meet will set the tone of the entire relationship, a tone of easy familiarity and friendliness. This influence is also likely to provide opportunities for personal advancement as a result of the favorable impression that you have made.

**Chad Knaus, born 5 August 1971 Theme: Boundless enthusiasm!
Valid during several days: This is a time of increased optimism and self- confidence. You feel capable of doing much more than you have ever done, and you are willing to make the effort. This influence quite often signifies professional success, and you may receive a promotion of some kind. Others will look to you for leadership, for they recognize your self-confidence and see that you deserve it.
You have a good idea about where you want to go at this time, and you have probably mastered the techniques and skills needed to get there and have acquired the material resources as well. Under this influence you may gain financially, but you are not likely to squander your money. You will use it to get ahead.
If you are in business for yourself, you may want to expand your business during this time, and you may have an opportunity to do so. You may want to make improvements in your home or move to a larger and more spacious one.

Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971 (**I posted Jeff’s ‘scope from the 5th to the 15th on Wed. If you missed it click here.)
Theme:Mental activity
Valid during several weeks: This influence indicates a day of busy mental activity and many communications with others. You will be busier than usual with letter writing, paper work and group conferences, which should run smoothly, although under certain circumstances there could be problems. Be especially careful not to speak or otherwise communicate from purely egotistic motives. Make your point and let it go at that, because chances are your statement will have enough energy to be effective without making a controversy of it. If you do turn it into a controversy, you will encounter opposition from people who are similarly inclined, and communication will grind to a halt. Do not try to defend any ideas that are clearly shown to be invalid.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Theme:An adequate chance
This morning you have the capacity to work either with others or alone. If you work with others you will have to have a lot of independence or some kind of leadership role in order to feel that you have been given an adequate chance. Probably you will get that chance. You have a much greater desire than usual to take the initiative and much stronger feelings of courage and self-reliance. In working with others, you will be able to give them the feeling that your aims are theirs, so that they will work with you more willingly. If you have to defend your point of view when challenged, you will not back down but will argue your case with vigor and passion. Others will respect you for this even when they do not agree. You do not feel any need to make unwarranted attacks in order to maintain yourself.

Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Theme: Calm and foresight
Now you experience a time of balance and equilibrium in your life, when you can be yourself with the fewest obstacles from people or circumstances. Various affairs in your life will hum along very nicely now, and you may be tempted to think that they will always go this well. But in fact this is the time to firm up your affairs and make sure that they are strong enough to withstand troubles that may come later on. You should examine those matters that clearly have not worked out. By now you should have made new beginnings in these areas, so you can tell how your new tack is working out.
Now Matt’s Moon is Square Mars which can be a little disruptive… just for a short while in the morning.

Theme:Letting off steam
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day there is a real danger of needless disputes, irritability, emotionalism, rash action and hastiness, which may result in harm or inconvenience later. You will find it difficult to handle other people for awhile. One of the challenges now is to successfully let off steam without making an unnecessary shambles. If you frequently feel somewhat discouraged about yourself, you should be especially careful with this influence. You may see everything that comes your way as a threat and react much too defensively. If you have a bolder and more self-confident temperament, you may be inclined to act too quickly, to be hasty and overcritical of others. Or you may be accident prone. With this influence, you are not as careful as you should be, and you might hurt yourself.
If you remember…Elliot Sadler had this same aspect for a few minutes when he jumped off the stage into the crowd and uh…biffed. Ouch.
This morning this influence gives you a pleasant feeling of restlessness, a desire for excitement but not to the point of disruption. You may feel like shaking up the people around you and jolting them out of their seeming lethargy. Or if you are not conscious of this desire in yourself, you may attract someone who shakes you up. Under any circumstances you want to be with exciting and stimulating companions. In your home and other close surroundings you are not willing to accept the same old situation. You may try to find ways to change your circumstances or at least provide some temporary excitement. It is possible that you will meet a new and exciting friend today, or an old friend will come back into your life unexpectedly. Friends may provide opportunities for advancement or for getting away from your usual scene for awhile.

Theme: Making yourself clear
Valid during several weeks: This influence is generally good for the flow of ideas and communication between you and others. You are intellectually alive, curious and willing to learn. This is a good day to attend a lecture or a class in some subject. You are willing to have people challenge your ideas and thereby broaden your thinking. At the same time you are happy to share your insights on any subject. Thus all interchange with others today should be fruitful and expansive, both for yourself and for the people you meet. Travel is sometimes indicated by this influence, although usually not over long distances. In the course of daily business you may cover a lot more ground than usual. This is a good day for conferences and negotiations in which it is important to make yourself clear to others.

Moon Trine Med.Coeli
Theme: In tune
Weak, transient effect: This morning your personal needs and career needs are balanced, and there will not be as much tension between them as at other times. Also your emotions are in tune with your intentions so that you can go about your business with complete oneness. There is less of the feeling that two sides of you are struggling for mastery over the whole. Under this influence you have a great ability to relate to others on an emotional level, because you feel your emotions so richly yourself. You are sensitive to others’ needs, and you understand how you can use their moods and sensitivities for positive ends. On the other hand, you may choose to retire into your own personal world. The richness of feeling and emotion that this time brings may make you feel like being alone or with only your closest loved ones.

Moon Trine Mercury
Theme: In equilibrium
Today during the day you are in touch with your feelings to an unusual extent and are more able to express them to others. You probably lack the psychological tension that usually drives people to talk about their feelings, but you can listen most sympathetically to other people’s problems now. The insight into your own feelings and the psychological equilibrium that you have now may enable you to offer effective help to others. This influence also signifies a state of balance between your feelings and your rational intellect. That is, you are able to think with great emotional sensitivity but still remain logical in your thought processes. Communications with women will be easy and quite favorable at this time, regardless of your own sex. And encounters with women may be quite informative in a positive way.

Moon Opposition Moon
Tonight your moods are quite deep and your emotions powerful. If you are aware, all your contacts at this time will show you how your emotional state affects other people. This can be either good or bad, but the growth in consciousness is usually very beneficial. One problem with this influence, however, is that you find it difficult to see any point of view but your own. Also, in dealings with a group there is a danger that you will feel that your own interests and desires are opposed to theirs, thus creating more potential for disagreement. You must learn to detach yourself somewhat in order to observe your feelings in action. Otherwise you will not be able afterwards to evaluate what you saw.

Denny Hamlin, born 18 November 1980

Theme:Dreams that come true
Valid during several weeks: This influence can be useful in many ways. It creates favorable circumstances in your business and professional life, attracting persons and circumstances that facilitate your work. People in authority are favorably inclined toward you, and most relationships in your professional life will run smoothly. It is apparent to everyone that you are primarily interested in working harmoniously with others, and they respond by being agreeable. Regardless of what you do for a living, this influence may involve you temporarily in artistic matters, such as design, layout work, office redecorating, even public relations for the purpose of making the company look more attractive. All such activities should go smoothly at this time.
This influence will bring forth your innermost subconscious fantasies. Today during the day you may spend considerable time daydreaming and not accomplish very much, but you will probably feel that it has been worth it. Dreams can be very refreshing to the spirit. At times we all need to withdraw a bit from the real world and encounter our inner selves. Now you have great sympathy for others. You are able to put yourself in their place and know exactly how you would feel in such a situation. You want to help others, with little thought of any benefit to yourself. This is one of those influences that makes you truly selfless, not merely in appearance. You may work to help people whom you consider less fortunate than yourself. There is often a strong interest in psychic or spiritual subjects under this influence.

Moon Trine Neptune
Theme:Truly selfless

Jeff Burton, born 29 June 1967
Moon Conjunction Jupiter
Theme: Heart over mind
This influence usually denotes a brief period of good feelings and generosity toward others. Today during the day you feel that everything is all right, and you have nothing to fear. You express your self-confidence by being above petty irritations. Not easily angered, you tolerate even the most harsh behavior from other people. But you probably won’t have to contend with “harsh behavior,” because the energy of this influence does not arouse it in those around you. You will get what you give – kindness, friendship and nurturing support. This influence can also awaken your concern for the deeper aspects of life. You may seek metaphysical and spiritual insights, but with your heart rather than your mind. Rational knowledge is not likely to satisfy you at this time.

Here are a couple of other little aspects of interest.

**Ryan! Be cool Buddy!

Ryan Newman, born 8 December 1977
Moon Square Uranus at Exactly 00:52AM ( It’s going to be a rough day Ryan. If anyone can keep his cool spiritually and overcome these influences to the best of his ability…it’s you. Go Rocketman. Rise above all this…)
Theme:A bit wild
Weak, transient effect: This morning the quality of time arouses an independent and rebellious spirit in you. You are inclined to do exactly the opposite of what someone suggests and to reject whatever others say simply because they said it. For the same reasons you are impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. There is a great need to be free and to do something very different, maybe even a little bit wild. You have a strong craving for excitement with this influence, and you may act in ways that you would never consider in a more sober mood. This could be either good or bad, of course, depending on how conservative you usually are and how unusual or outrageous the action. For some people this can be a very liberating influence. For others it is a bit too much.

Moon in the 7th House
Theme:Emotional confrontations
During this time you turn your attention to your most personal relationships, in which you express yourself in a much more emotional manner than usual. This influence will affect a marriage, relationships with opponents, or any other inherently emotional confrontation. Loved ones and partners are much more important to you than usual, for they provide you with a feeling of security and support. And to be fair, you have the same interest in proving these elements for your loved ones. But if you are in a negative emotional state now, this influence will tend to make you excessively jealous and possessive, or you may act unconsciously or automatically with your loved ones. Confrontations with women, both positive and negative, are likely to be more intense that those with men.

Sun Square Ascendant
Theme:Needless conflict
Today you will display a great deal of energy in your dealings with other people. However, the problem lies in how you use that energy, for you may try to dominate others. Or you may encounter others who try to dominate you. Do not be so concerned with your own desires that your actions are out of harmony with the people around you. Do not be so willful that you actually get in the way of your own intentions. This influence can help you, because it enables you to make your mark on the people around you, so that they accept you and let you lead or help lead them. But you must be sure that you are right and that others really are willing to accept your leadership. Otherwise you will only create needless conflict that will bring you nothing.

Mercury Square Mars
Theme:Touchy and irritable
Valid during several weeks: This influence can be quite difficult. You are inclined to feel touchy and irritable and to regard almost any communication from another person as a challenge. And you will make this attitude so clear to people that they may even tread lightly around you for fear of setting you off. Anyone who crosses you will be told off in no uncertain terms. The worst way to handle this influence, but what you are most likely to do, is to identify your own ego with what you believe or think. This will make you act as if your very life were threatened, which of course it is not. If you have to fight for your beliefs, this influence can be a help, but don’t look for a battle or create an issue where none exists.

Moon Square Moon
Theme: Discordant emotions
Weak, transient effect: This influence, although not long lasting, can provide some moments of difficulty and irritation. Your emotions are discordant, and you may be more inclined to get into disagreements with others. This will probably have the greatest effect in your most personal life and domestic situation. Consequently you should watch out for unnecessary conflicts with loved ones. In a group, you will not feel that your interests are in accord with the others’ interests. It is not a good time to work with people or to make any kind of public appearance, if peace and harmony is your goal. However, if you are trying to stir people up about some issue or call their attention to circumstances that must be dealt with, this influence can be quite helpful, although the others may not appreciate your role in this.

Moon Opposition Ascendant
Theme:Subjectivity
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day your closest contacts will take on a more emotional tone. You will be able to communicate your feelings more easily to your partner , a close working colleague or anyone else whom you encounter on an intimate level. Although the effects of this influence are not very difficult to deal with, you should be aware that you are likely to be so emotional and subjective in your relations with others that you may have difficulty seeing someone else’s point of view. However, this influence favors situations in which you have to be sensitive to another’s feelings or in which someone else has to be sensitive to yours. In your contacts with others you will seek warmth, support and nurture, and you will be equally capable of giving these to others when necessary.

Moon Sextile Pluto
Theme:Profundity
Weak, transient effect: This morning you desire experience at a very profound level and do not like superficial encounters. With friends and loved ones you seek the true meaning of your feelings for each other. Under this influence, deep-rooted feelings in a relationship are often brought to the surface. This has a therapeutic effect on most relationships, for it releases hidden energies that may be weakening the ties between you. During this time you should be careful not to set an objective for yourself and then become so obsessed by it that you lose track of everything else. Even this rather mild influence can result in a one-track mind and compulsive behavior. If this happens, it is a sign that hidden in this compulsion is a psychological energy that you should try to understand, because it could control some part of your life.

**Mark Martin, born 9 January 1959
Theme: One word leads to another
There could well be a very painful argument if you react in an unconsidered manner at this time. Without warning one word leads to another until you suddenly show yourself to be hard and hostile in order to cover up one of your own weaknesses. In this way you can hurt your partner, a friend, or someone else to whom you are close, so that you greatly reproach yourself afterwards. That is why it is important at this time to be careful during all interactions with people who are close to you. If you remain aware of your feelings and reactions during all personal contacts, you will certainly recognize the situation described above – before it occurs.

Moon Conjunction Uranus
Theme:”Something different”
Weak, transient effect: This morning you feel impulsive and willing to act rashly. Your moods change so quickly that you surprise yourself as well as others. You may be with someone else who is like this, usually a woman. Probably you will be impatient with your normal routine and want to do something completely different. Assuming that the “something different” is within reason, it is probably all right to go ahead. In fact you might as well not bother trying to be disciplined and responsible for the next few hours. If you have work to do that requires great concentration, you won’t be able to keep your mind on it, or you will do a sloppy job. Usually this is not a sign of conflict, but if someone is trying to hold you back from expressing your impulses, you may get angry at him or her.

Carl Edwards also has the same aspect that Ryan Newman has in his chart:

Carl Edwards, born 15 August 1979
Moon Square Chiron
Theme:Attention, Children!
At this time you have to deal with your own hurt feelings – either you are reminded of old wounds by some incident, or a sore point is disturbed again. Maybe you feel a little weak and are conscious of a certain aversion to handling the usual everyday interchanges – a feeling as if you were coming down with flu. If you now have the need to be alone, then that is what you should really do. If you make too many demands on yourself or if you are not left in peace, you may become hurtful to others – for example, your children if you are a parent – as a result of a certain indifference. Fortunately, this influence lasts at most half a day.

I have an idea. You and Ryan just stay away from each other, ok? Stay away from Kurt Busch. He has the aspect also. You two might also want to stay away from Tony.
*He’s already been griping about how this track is “ruined”.

Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Sun in the 4th House
Theme:An inward glimpse
Valid during several weeks: At this time you focus your concerns upon your most intimate personal life and the people who affect it most, your family and parents. You will want to be in familiar surroundings now and feel that you have some kind of center or place where you can build a solid base for your activities. For most people this means a home. Although you should continue to live up to the demands of the outer world, because your personal life is interdependent with it, you should focus most of your attention inward. Not only inward to your personal life, but also inward in a psychological sense. If necessary, go off by yourself and spend time in contemplation or meditation. Events that occurred in the past may come back to you now through memories and through consequences of those events that continue to affect you now.

Moon in the 1st House
Theme: Your emotional sensors
This is a two-day period when personal and subjective considerations will override everything else, but it need not be difficult. First of all, you feel a great need to belong and to relate to your friends or loved ones. This need turns on your emotional sensors and makes you very sensitive to the feelings and moods of the people around you, because you want to fall in with their rhythms and become sympathetic with them. This is the unconscious sign of relating to a group. Thus you are emotionally right there whenever someone needs your sympathy, warmth and understanding. You are very concerned about yourself, which is fine, but don’t distort this into a state of mind in which you cannot see anybody else’s point of view. Objectivity, especially in dealing with others, may be difficult to come by now.

Moon Square Med.Coeli
Theme:Changing moods
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day you experience rapidly changing moods, which may interfere with clear perception of your goals, especially if your goals have been set without much regard for your personal needs. If your goals are purely professional or make excessive demands on your personal and domestic life, this time will be somewhat disruptive. You may feel dissatisfied with your progress, or you may feel that no matter how much you accomplish, there is always something lacking. This influence sometimes signifies tensions in your domestic life. If you have handled this matter well, you should encounter the more positive side of this influence and be able to go about your business with a remarkable sense of wholeness. You will feel that your activities are satisfying, both professionally and personally.

Moon Conjunction Ascendant
Theme:Conditioned by habit
Weak, transient effect: Tonight you will feel much more emotional than usual. This, of course, can be either good or bad, depending upon how you normally relate to you emotions. If you are ill at ease with your feelings, you will not consciously be aware of them. But you will relate to people in automatic ways, conditioned by habit. You will respond unconsciously to small cues put out by other persons that neither you nor they are aware of. The problem here is that you are unable to see each new moment and person afresh. On the other hand, if you can handle the emotions that are aroused, you will be able to relate to others with great feeling and empathy. This influence is excellent for occasions when you and another person must relate at a very deep, intense level.

As above, so below...as always.

…And so Lug Nutz, off we go to Phoenix for some slip sliding serious driving!
Tally Ho!!

WWTD?


I received an email inquiring if I knew anything about an ESPN article about Tony Stewart that was published last year. I felt at the time the article came out, it was a bit harsh and refused to feed or call anymore attention to the negativity surrounding the Home Depot boycott. It’s old stuff now but it is insightful. It exemplifies how much Tony has grown and matured. The story shows the hu-Man Tony.

I had also forgotten about how Mike Wallace had influenced Tony. I cried all over again, both in compassion and respect for Mike Wallace. We need to all remember our own humanness a little more these days and times. We all forget who and what we are at times. We all have ups and downs in our lives. We all have pain. We all have a skeleton or two in our closet we would rather not remember. We all need to keep growing, living and loving. Making peace with our past is important.

I confess I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself lately. Having a pity party. Being so dependent on others SUCKS. It also is bringing out a lot of life lessons. Some new personal insights to the way my own psyche works. I am a lot more controlling and demanding than I realized. My expectations of others may, at times, be a bit, uh…Unrealistic. I owe my husband an apology. He is not the one that has been the jerk. He is only reacting to the one who has been the real jerk. Me. I am sorry Honey.

Here it is Ray, and any of you that missed it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again. I needed to read it.

Chewing ‘em up – From ESPN The Magazine
by: Tom Friend

To the fools boycotting Home Depot:
Tony Stewart got your angry e-mails. He didn’t read them – he was too busy playing Internet poker – but he knows you want Home Depot to fire him and that you’re not buying any power sanders until that happens, and his answer to you is: “Leave the ears on the dog.”

You obviously have no idea what he means (we’ll get to it later), but the point is, Tony’s finally wising up before he dies. He never planned on living past 30 and even has a hearse parked in his driveway, but as long as he’s still here – four years past 30 – he’s not going to let all your Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr. fans ruin his goddang day.

He used to let you get into his head something awful. You cost him a woman once, a woman he’s still chasing. You used to boo him during driver introductions, or flip him off, and he says he’d take it home with him, that he just couldn’t let it go. He’d throw a TV remote across the living room, just like his daddy used to do, and that’s partly why that woman went running for cover.

But he’s tuning you out now. He ignored you all summer and he’s currently the best stock car driver on earth. He’s so happy, he’s no longer wearing a “NO AUTOGRAPHS” T-shirt to autograph sessions. He’s the talk of NASCAR. The same guy who punched a photographer, who drop-kicked a tape recorder and who grabbed Robby Gordon by the collar is now showing restraint for the first time in his life. You don’t know how hard that is for him, and maybe it’s time you did.

There is so much to talk about. Like the divorce and the claustrophobia and the job driving the tow truck. Like the attempted murder charge and the wreck at Daytona and the death of the baby boy. But it’s probably best to start with his daddy’s sacred backyard garage in Columbus, Ind., the garage where Tony Stewart got his butt beat for the first time.

Who knows how he ticked off his daddy that day. Probably spilled some motor oil. But he got paddled on the backside to the point where he wanted to cry. But lord no, he was not about to cry. In front of Nelson Stewart? Hell no. He buzzed straight to his bedroom instead, and when his daddy walked by a minute later, all Nelson heard was the foul mouth of his only son. Goddamn, sonofabitch, sh–! Goddamn, sonofabitch, sh–! Goddamn, sonofabitch, sh–! Tony Stewart was 4 years old.

TO THE father who raised Tony Stewart:
You meant well, but you did more damage than you know. Like the time Tony was 11 and you yanked him out of his go-kart by the collar because he didn’t win a race. Or the time he lost another race and you tossed every wrench in the toolbox. Or the times you’d throw a tantrum and hide in the garage for hours on end, burying your self inside Tony’s go-karts.

“Nelson was living vicariously through Tony,” says Mark Dismore, a family friend. “Tony was driving the race car but Nelson was hanging onto the fence, making every move for him in his mind.”

We understand you had a rough life, Nelson. You raced cars as a kid yourself, and your father threatened to kick you out of the house because of it. You worked your way through college, which is why you spent 10 years at Purdue. You made do as a high school shop teacher, but it all hardened you. You cussed a ton. When your wife, Pam, got pregnant with Tony, you bet your co-workers you’d never change a diaper. You won.

Then there was the accident. Six months before Tony was born, you saw a car veer off a country road into a ravine and you rushed to pry the driver free. But just as you reached the door handle, the car exploded. You were burned over 41% of your body; your arms and the backs of you legs got it worst. You were in the hospital for three months, and if you weren’t ornery before, you were now.

People saw you as a hero, and there certainly was no better neighbor than you. If someone needed a new engine, you pointed him toward your garage. You’d even help remodel a friend’s home. To the people of Columbus, you were a good Samaritan. To your own family, you were a bear.

You took Tony racing all over the country. He loved it, until you made him clean the carburetor. He just wanted to be a boy, but you wanted him to be Mario Andretti. You were impossible to miss during races, standing between Turns 1 and 2, pointing to your head and shouting, “Use your brain!” It embarrassed him. “After a lot of races, you’d see me with my head down,” Tony says.

Your son began to act out. Your wife went to a sixth grade PTA meeting and saw a lone desk in the corner. It was Tony’s, the class clown, the hellion. He was always late. Everybody else was on Eastern Standard Time, but he was on Tony Time. He didn’t mow the lawn when you asked him to, so you sold his go-kart, got in his face.

“Hell yea, my dad would vapor lock,” Tony remembers. “But by that time, instead of clubbing me like a baby seal, he’d run to the garage, run to his sanctuary. He’d holler at me for a minute and be gone. He was an unhappy person.”

It all took a toll on your marriage. You and Tony were out of town racing all summer, often leaving Pam and your daughter, Natalie, home alone. One summer, the travel bill came to 15 large. You and Pam started renovating the house but there was no cash to finish. You got a second mortgage just to finance the racing. Tony was 17 when you and Pam separated, and he didn’t take it well. Blamed himself.

“Oh, I know it was me,” Tony says. “They spent every dollar they had on me. Nobody in their right mind would mortgage a house to race go-karts. Of course, it was important to my dad and I did it. But my mother and sister got lost in it all.”

Tony was growing bitter, and it almost got him killed. He’d always been a daredevil riding a bicycle–”It’s a wonder I have any testicles left, as mush as I smashed into my bike rail,” he says — but he was even worse behind a steering wheel, speeding down country roads. At 15, he flipped a car, and the girl in the passenger seat needed back surgery. Two weeks after he got his license, a cop pulled him over in his ’79 Plymouth Volare for going 95 in a 55 zone. Tony went on probation.

The breakup only made him more rebellious. He wrecked both family cars. You forbade him to ride motorcycles, so he promptly went out and bought one. He’d drink beer, then ride the thing 145 mph down the interstate, without a license. That’s when he decided he’d never make it to 30. “I was unsupervised, turned loose,” Tony says. “I was a dart with no feathers.”

Too bad you weren’t around Nelson. You were up the road in your Indianapolis apartment. Tony would come visit you and, to salvage the relationship, you’d try being nice to him. “But suddenly he’d get mad, so I wasn’t buying it,” Tony says. “I was like, ‘That’s not my dad’. He didn’t act natural. It was awkward to be around, so I clocked out.”

At home, Tony began lashing out at his mom and his sister, so Pam kicked him out. He was 18 and all he had was racing. He drifted around the state, from Rushville to Indianapolis, living with race car owners and working god-awful jobs. He drove a tow truck, a wrecker and a NAPA delivery truck. He worked the drive-through at McDonald’s, washed cars and poured cement. But it was always with one condition: his boss had to give him time off to race.

He’d begun to drive the three-quarter midgets, and you didn’t help matters when you joined his pit crew, Nelson. “If I walked the wrong way, my dad would be yelling,” Tony says. His car owner felt the tension and asked Tony to get rid of you. Your son was afraid to break the news, and when he did, you went off. Bad idea. Because you lost him.

Tony flourished without you. He was winning in TQs, sprint cards and Silver Crown cars. But he also raced angry. He locked bumpers with another racer one time, and when Tony slammed the brakes to free his car, the other guy wrecked. Then the guy came out wagging a finger and Tony thought, “You want me, you got me.” Tony drove toward him at about 20 miles an hour –plenty slow enough to avoid — and the guy tried to press charges. For attempted murder. A disorderly conduct charge was dropped, but that was the beginning of Bad Boy Tony.

As soon as he ascended to Indy cars, you hated being out of the loop, Nelson. You took a job with the IRL, pumping gas for Pennzoil, so you could be on Pit Road. Tony actually appreciated that you kept your distance and even bought you a Legends race car. But by 1999, when Joe Gibbs Racing brought Tony full-time to NASCAR, you seemed to be on the outs for good. You still saw your son, but he was in his later 20s by then, living in Charlotte, and he didn’t need you lecturing him for drinking a beer with dinner. He wasn’t 15 anymore. So you were just making him madder.

To the media covering NASCAR:
He needs five minutes. He needs a towel over his head and a cold sip of water and then you can have him. Because otherwise, well…you know all about the photographer.

The heat in that stock car can get ridiculous, as high as 140 degrees. Yes, all drivers deal with it, but not all drivers are claustrophobic like Tony. He noticed it when he was younger, when he walked into a cave where the temperature was 55 degrees and he stared perspiring. He tried scuba driving to overcome it, but it’s no use: sitting in a cramped race car for four hours till gets his blood boiling.

He shoved Robby Gordon in the garage and invited Jeff Gordon into a hauler to settle things. He chased moving cars on foot. He deserved whatever bad press you gave him. He won Rookie of the Year, but he had no one to lean on. What he needed was a mentor, a kindred spirit, and he though he’d found one in Dale Earnhardt Sr.

The Intimidator saw something in him. If Dale liked someone, he screwed with him — and Dale began to screw with Tony. Before one race, he poured bottled water into Tony’s car seat as a practical joke. Some joke. If Tony had sat down, he’d have burned himself. Somebody told Tony that Dale thought $50 bills were bad luck, so Tony — trying to retaliate — walked over with one. But Richard Childress grabbed his arm tight and said, “Don’t do it, son.” And that’s how much Tony respected Dale: he put the 50 back in his pocket.

Of course, Daytona ruined it all. Tony spun out during the 2001 race, sailing like a kite over several cars. He was taken to the ER, and while he was in X-ray, Dale’s gurney came in. Tony heard the doctors working furiously to save him and he called his mother to ask her to pray. You know the rest.

Tony was three months form 30 and thought, “I ain’t gonna live much longer.” He was lost down there in Charlotte and as angry as he’d been during the divorce. He bought an 8,800 square foot mansion on Lake Norman and filled it with four roommates. He thought he needed the company, but it turned into a chaotic frat house. Years before, he had repurchased his childhood home in Columbus, for sentimental reasons, but not he had no time to spend there. He was stuck in your media fish bowl and he wasn’t happy.

He won the Cup title in 2002, but he hit his emotional bottom. You all know his low point: the Brickyard 400. He always tensed up at that track because it was his hometown race, the race his daddy wanted most. And when his car petered out again after he had led for 43 laps, he needed his five minutes to cool off. But he didn’t even get 30 seconds. A photographer sprinted after him, and claustrophobic Tony ran too. When the photographer tried snapping a picture, Tony smacked him. “Tony couldn’t get a grip on his life and he was taking it out on other people,” Pam says. “Just like his dad, he’d blow up.”

He called it the dumbest thing he’d ever done, and you were right to blister him for it. You’d already seen him boot a reporter’s tape recorder and kick a cameraman in the shin. But then, at Sonoma, he chased after Brian Vickers’ car on foot; when Vickers laughed in his face, Tony tried grabbing Vicker’s collar. You saw it coming.

What you didn’t realize is how sensitive Tony is. He felt ashamed. This is the same guy who helps motorists on the side of the road, who sends money to rescue abused dogs, who supports a foundation for chronically ill children, who lends his jet to other drivers for weddings and funerals, who builds playgrounds with his sponsor Home Depot.

Of course, Home Depot couldn’t ignore Tony’s bully act, so the company ordered him to undergo anger-management counseling. He was getting booed at every track and needed an arm around his shoulder. It wasn’t coming from Krista Dwyer, because the couple had broken off their wedding engagement in 1999. And it wasn’t coming from Jaime Shaffer, the woman he was pining for, because he kept bringing his sour mood home with him and they’d just broken up. No, the arm on his shoulder would come from another driver.

Tony barely knew Mike Wallace. But in July 2004, Wallace pulled him aside to say, “I don’t know what’s going on in your life, but whatever’s bothering you ain’t that bad.” And then Wallace told him about Aug. 20, 1984, the day he accidentally ran over and killed his own 2 year old son in the family driveway. Tony couldn’t breathe when he heard that. Couldn’t breathe.

His head was spinning. Last October, his crew chief, Greg Zipadelli, decided it was time for an intervention. He organized a face to face meeting between Tony and his entire crew. Zipadelli wanted Tony to hear their gripes. And sure enough, they let him have it. They didn’t like getting flipped off by fans because of what Tony did on the track. They didn’t like him tearing up the team trailer, throwing things. When Tony asked if they wanted him to resign, they all said no — just change.

He thought about Mike Wallace and about his crew and about all you reporters, and he said, “I’m outta here.”

Tony moved home.

TO THE fools boycotting Home Depot:
Its one thing to be NASCAR’s bad boy, but it’s another to go do something about it. It takes a big man to forgive your daddy and to listen to your crew and resist the urge to email back everyone of you. Don’t forget that.

Indiana was what Tony needed. He sat on his front porch swing with his pet chihuahua, Kayle. He helped watch his sister’s two young children. He started calling Jaime again. But the kid in him never left. He wore his Harley-Davidson jeans. During a snowstorm, he turned off the traction control on his BMW and raced into town, skidding through a red light and getting stopped by a cop. He bought a vacation home just outside of Columbus, and the place smelled like fumes because he and his buddies raced minibikes in the basement. He bought a light-blue hearse–his buddy Sumo thinks it smells like formaldehyde — and had it valet parked at a fancy place, just for the reaction. He plans to put a plasma TV and a wet bar in that hearse and turn it into the finest limo in the Midwest.

He also did what his parents couldn’t afford to do when he was a teen: he finished the house. He painted it in earth tones, had a hot tub installed and a big-screen TV built into the wall. But he also left two rooms — his and his parents’ — exactly the way they were. He wanted life to be the way it was before the divorce. That’s why his mom and sister work for him, and that’s why he asked Nelson a most peculiar question: “Dad, can you make the garage the way it used to be?”

“That garage is where my career started,” Tony says. “That’s the way I remember it and that’s the way I wanted it back.”

Nelson was still Nelson. At 67, he was still racing TQs, and when he was disqualified one night for spinning his car, he threw his helmet, gloves and steering wheel onto the track. Tony called and said, “Now people are gonna realize I didn’t become this bad person overnight, that you taught me how to be that way.” They both laughed, and now Nelson comes right out and says, “I hate to admit it, but he did get his temper form me.” Tony faked smoking a cigarette in front of Nelson one night — “just to see if he would still vapor lock” — but his daddy held it together.

“It’s the best the relationship’s ever been,” says Tony, who’s just heard that Nelson actually changed one of his grandkid’s diapers. “I don’t worry about making him mad now. I don’t worry about feeling like I have to impress him.”

So that’s how the 2005 season started, with Tony’s head on straight. Problem was, through 15 races he wasn’t winning, and he started to seethe. Zipadelli, who’s like a brother to Tony, pulled him aside to say, “You know how you’re driving down the street and you see a stray dog or an injured dog? Well, do you kick the dog? No. You help him. So, if a fan wants your autograph or a driver cuts you off, you don’t kick ‘em, either. Leave the ears on the dog.”

It because Zipadelli’s motto. He left notes on Tony’s dashboard: “Leave the ears on the dog.” Or he’d shout it into Tony’s headphones during a race. The team also adjusted the aerodynamics of the No. 20 car, and by late summer Tony had won an unthinkable five of seven races, maybe the most dominant stretch of all time.

He even won at the Brickyard, with Nelson standing between Turns 1 and 2, pointing to his head. It made Tony feel 8 years old again — “I’m not sure that’s a good thing,” Nelson says with a chuckle — and it immediately became the highlight of his career.

But just when it was safe to be on the track again, Tony intentionally bumped into Vickers after a Busch race at Watkins Glen last month and was placed on probation. “Nobody really changes,” Vickers says. “Winning five of seven races will curb your anger a little, but everybody has flaws and Tony’s happens to be his temper. That’s never going to change.”

And that’s why you all started emailing Home Depot again. You want Tony Stewart gone, don’t you? You’re relentless and, actually, a little mean.

You’d probably kick the dog.

**************
Tony’s lack of stress during the Chase has certainly showed in his performance and his attitude. He will probably still come out of the Chase with the highest point standings. He has won the IROC Championship. He is a Champion. Period. Not only in the racing world but a Champion of Life.
My motto these days is “WWTD”.
“What would Tony do?”
He would drive with his left foot, of course.
I think I will try a drive around the block today.

NASCAR Chase Astro Predictions for Phoenix – Jeff Gordon

Congrats to Tony for the TX win!!
Jeff Gordon married yesterday…
Gordo announced his engagement to Ingrid Vandebosch in Sonoma, and then won the Nextel Cup race the next day…could that happen this weekend??
Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Jupiter Conjunction Jupiter – activity period from Nov. 5th to the 14th.
This influence indicates the beginning of a new cycle of growth and progress. However, it is often the focus of exaggerated expectations. You may expect sudden windfalls, great wealth or luck. and all kinds of wonderful opportunities. And these things do happen sometimes with this influence, but most people should expect more subtle, but equally useful effects. Events now, such as meetings with persons or even changes in your psyche, open the way for you to become wiser and more mature and to have a broader understanding of the world. At this time you will reach out consciously and unconsciously and ask more of the world, but at the same time you are willing to give more to the world.
This influence can make you feel either more demanding or more giving toward others, but you are not likely to get much out of it if you think only of what you can get. The law of conservation of energy in the universe says that you can transform the energies in your life from one form to another, but you cannot create them out of nothing. This influence represents a time when you should see whether you are doing that in your life.
Concretely, you can expect persons who are good for you to come into your life. Or circumstances will arise that give you increased freedom or an opportunity to do something that you have never done before. Educational opportunities may come to you at this time, or a chance to travel. Sometimes this influence does in fact bring about financial advantage, but you should not sit around passively waiting for it to happen. This is an excellent time to invest or expand in business as long as you are very careful not to overdo it or overextend yourself.

Jeff’s ‘scope for the race in Phoenix this weekend is equally interesting. His Moon is in the 11th House, in effect from Nov.13-15.
This influence can signify any one of several different effects. It can indicate a time when emotional contact with friends is very important to you. If you or your friend has something very personal to say, something that touches either of you at a deeper emotional level than usual, this is a good time to say it. Contact between yourself and friends is much deeper than usual now. A related effect of this influence is to bring a female friend or friends into prominence in your life, and in general you should find it easier to get along with them now. In friendships you will probably feel more protective and supportive than usual, or you will attract someone who gives you needed emotional support.

Today is an interesting day in the World, isn’t it? 12 years. Astro cycles are interesting. It was a good day for Mercury to cross the face of the Sun. Glory!! Glory!!
I was wondering tho…if Gordo got married in Mexico yesterday…did he skip voting or mail in his ballot? Is he did mail in his ballot, has Jeff’s vote really been counted?

Tally Ho!! Onward Lug Nutz!!
**yup..I am home, just in time to influence the outcome of the Chase!!!
Mu AHHAHA!!!!
Stay tuned…
