The Mercury is Rising

Did you get the memo? Have you heard? Mercury is in retrograde! Don't try to email, stop the presses, forget appointments, mail and any surfing the web. Basically do anything but communicate.

I thought it a bunch a hooey until my printer stopped printing, my scanner stopped scanning, and my brain stopped being able to translate into articulate thoughts what I was thinking (well maybe that happens when Mercury is hot hot hot too!)

Since 4:46 Monday, September 7th the Cosmo has slowed down and will move backwards through the zodiac for three weeks. Mercury normally turns retrograde three times a year but this year he turns four times. As a rule, retrograde planets bring a period of unresolved issues from the past that rear their heads and a series of events over which we seem to have little or no conscious control. Oh sheesh! It will be a miracle if I get anything done.

So what are we supposed to do for the next two weeks time? This Bear thinks we should all go on holiday.
