Aloha, all! Do you ever read horoscopes? In our newspaper, the daily horoscope column is on a page with other articles I read. So I find my eyes drifting towards Aquarius just about every day as I turn the page. More often than not there's something that makes me smile or laugh. Usually it's the latter.
