“If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair, because five minutes at the fair and you’ll be going, ‘You know, we’re alright. We are dang near royalty.’”

– Jeff Foxworthy, comedian

FIRST NATIONAL BANK MONUMENT

I

f you close your eyes and imagine you are at a fair, what’s one of the first things you think of? Maybe it’s the flashing lights of the games and vendors along the midway. Or maybe you imagine the slightly queasy feeling you get when you’ve just gotten off that creaky rollercoaster. Or perhaps it’s the strange combination of smells that you can only find at a fair.

Cooking meats like hotdogs and hamburgers mingle with the sweet smell of funnel cakes and cotton candy, all topped off with the pungent smell of livestock.

There’s truly nothing like it in the world. And at first glance, the idea of mixing rides, games, food and animals in one place might seem a little strange. After all, the smell of goat doesn’t typically make you hungry for a big meal of random fair food.

Business / Employment Opportunities COMMUNITY CALENDAR 8

As you can probably imagine, in the early days of the fair, many people would be gathered in a relatively small area. And naturally, things had the potential to get out of hand. In order to “keep the peace,” officials were chosen to handle dole out discipline when necessary. These officials were clumped together into a make-shift court, called the pie-powder court. The name comes from an Old French term literally meaning “dusty feet.” The pie-powder court would see to the adjudication of any infraction or dispute that arose within the fairgrounds.

Regardless of all that, fairs have been around for centuries and have become so popular that just about every state has their own fair which is held place annually. And as usual, Snippetz has rounded up some information to satiate your hunger for state fair facts!

HISTORY OF THE FAIR Fairs have traditionally been a place of gathering where people can display, sell or trade their goods and display their animals. Sometimes, as is the case of modern fairs, entertainment such as games was included.

FROM FAIR TO STATE FAIR

In the Middle Ages, fairs were typically a form of temporary marketplace for travelers, both local and international, could come together to participate in trade. Because this type of venue offered access to large amounts of people gathered in one place, vendors could make a decent profit off the sale of their wares in a relatively short amount of time. And fair-goers could be assured of a large variety of products to peruse. Sometimes fairs were held for just a day, while at other times, they lasted for 10 weeks or more.

While fairs have been around for quite some time, state fairs in particular have been around since the 1800s. State fairs as larger versions of regular fairs or county fairs and include livestock and agriculture competitions as well as recreational activities like games and rides. Most competitors at state fairs are the winners of their local county fair in their respective category.

State fairs are significantly larger than their local counterparts, sometimes admitting more than one million fair-goers over the one or two-week period in which they are held. The first state fair in the United States was held in Syracuse, NY in 1841 and has

As fairs gained in popularity, rather than cropping up in random places, cities and towns began dedicating spaces specifically for fairs. The timing of these more regularly-occurring fairs was often in conjunction with a special religious occasion, in particular the anniversary of the dedication of a church. Churchyards were the prime place for these fairs to set up and were often held annually on the feast day of the patron saint to whom that particular church was dedicated.

At last count, there are about 80 different state fairs. That doesn’t quite match up with the 50 states but there’s a good reason for the discrepancy. Several states hold more than one state fair, usually at different times and in different locations. For example, Georgia holds four state fairs annually, one in Macon in the spring, one in Atlanta in the fall, one titled the “Georgia National Fair” in Perry, and one titled the “North Georgia State Fair” in Marietta.

Texas is another state that hosts more than one state fair. The State Fair of Texas held in Dallas holds the record for the largest number of people in attendance each year.

The estimate is 3,000,000 people.

YOU ATE WHAT?!

What would a state fair be without some unusual sights, sounds and yes, foods.

It’s become quite the custom in state fairs around the country to bring a wide variety of tasty treats for fair-goers to enjoy. But lately, the trend has been to create something unique, maybe even a bit strange but delicious nonetheless. Here are a few of the more interesting creations from across the nation.

The Fair... Continued from Page 2 Tex Choice Awards, this dish is a clear indicator of our country’s recent obsession with all things bacon.

• Fried butter balls – yep, that’s right. This treat is simply butter dipped in batter and then tossed in a deep-fryer.

The Montana State Fair proudly boasts this selection.

• Pickle pop – have you ever had a craving for something cold, tangy and . . . pickle-y? Well, head to the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson where pickle juice is frozen and served as a popsicle.

• Fried pickle on a stick – speaking of pickles, what better way to enjoy one than to shove it onto a stick and deep fry it. If you’ve ever had deep-fried pickle slices, you’ll understand the importance of this creation.

• Deep-fried Twinkies – we all know that Twinkies aren’t exactly the picture of health food but the folks at the Indiana State Fair decided to kick it up a notch and freeze the snack before giving a dip in a deep-fryer so it doesn’t melt away in the hot oil.

• Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich – the name says it all . . . this treat is simply a sliced Krispy Kreme doughnut containing a fried chicken patty and a slice of Swiss cheese. Thanks, California for that lovely invention.

• Krispy Kreme hamburgers – not to be outdone by California, the Alabama State Fair has introduced a hamburger that defies all laws of physics. Well, not really but it does contain 67 grams of fat.

Ugh. This dish contains a quarter-pound hamburger, bacon, cheese and not one but two Krispy Kreme doughnuts serving as the bun.

• Spaghetti and meatballs on a stick – the Minnesota State Fair has come up with the perfect solution for all those fair-goers who crave something a little more substantial but just can’t take the time to sit down for a meal. Enter the spaghetti and meatballs on a stick treat, in which spaghetti is mixed into a meatball and then the whole thing is cooked, battered, fried (of course) and shoved onto a stick before taking a quick roll in some marinara sauce.

• Mealworm-covered caramel apples – so far, this treat has only appeared once at the Arizona Exposition and State Fair. Since it is just what it sounds like, there’s probably a good reason for that!

• Fried beer – yep, once again, you read that correctly. The Texas State Fair has found a way to fry beer by injecting it into a nugget of pretzel dough and then tossing it in the deep-dryer. Just what will they think of next?

Education Lasts a Lifetime

• Cotton candy was originally called “Fairy Floss” when it was invented in 1897 by William Morris and John C. Wharton from Nashville, Tenn.

• Several exotic animals have debuted as snack items at various state fairs in the U.S. including alligator, kangaroo, python and scorpion.

• The Iowa State Fair has featured an exhibition of life-size butter sculptures of cows since 1911.

• While there is dispute over which state fair can stake claim to the invention of the corn dog, it’s certain that the food was created somewhere between 1938 and 1942 at either the Texas State Fair or the Minnesota State Fair.

FAMILY OF CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH PARTNERS WITH LCMS TO ASSIST BLACK FOREST FIRE VICTIMS COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 5, 2013 – Family of Christ Lutheran Church (FOC) has received an emergency grant in the amount of $150,000 from The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) to meet immediate disaster relief needs for those affected by the Black Forest fire.

O

ne hears how a particularly stylish woman really “owns” her look.

They are comfortable as if in their own skin. How many people can say they comfortable with their skin? It’s really the only thing you actually own and it should be treated with respect. You can always get another pair of killer jeans, but you your skin is permanently yours.

Be gentle with your skin. The last thing you want is to strip your skin of natural moisturizers and replace it with an arsenal of beauty products that do nothing but strip you of your money. All you need is a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer suited for your skin type, sunblock, and being kind to yourself. Whether you prefer the newest Chanel cleanser from Neiman Marcus or a bar of Ivory soap from the grocery store, it is all good as long as you are gentle. The concept of “no-pain, no-gain” is poor advice. You should start your day feeling refreshed not worn out with a burning and abrasive struggle with skin-care products.

Occasional and gentle exfoliation is good as long as you don’t scrub and let the product do as it was intended to. Sunblock is must! There is some benefit to the more expensive lines, they are simply not as greasy and wear well under makeup. If you need some color without the risk of skin cancer or premature aging, then mix a bit of self-tanner in your moisturizer every day. By mixing the two ingredients, you have a better chance of even application and gradual subtle results. Everyone has skin and everyone can benefit with kind and gentle treatment!

We have some differences too. Some simple tricks will make you appear as your best.

ALL PRIEFERT IN STOCK MERCHANDISE

1. You are petite. High waisted pants, skirts and dresses are your friends. Sticking to a monochromatic palette is best.

Look for attributes that lengthen such as princess seams, center and front seams and color blocking. Avoid tops, pants, or jackets that are cropped. Do not EVER be caught in gladiator type sandals that brutally slash your ankles in half.

*During the sale & while supplies last!

2.You are tall. Aren’t you lucky! Except when it comes to finding pants that make you look like a four year old who just underwent a growth spurt. Unfortunately, height is going to cost you. Only the best designers make pants that come with an ample excess of cloth in the legs.

It pays to buy the best you can afford and you will get more use out of it. This also applies to jackets, shirts, and blazers.

BEGIN YOUR PATHWAY

3.You have a bit of a tummy. A few years of cheese, wine and children does it to almost all of us. Think about mitigating the problem, not getting rid of it.

(Otherwise you might be forced to abstain from the causes). The best you can do is draw attention to your face and your legs.

Longer tops like cardigans and tunics are perfect. Subtle ruching along your midriff is particularly forgiving. Avoid low-cut jeans, pleats, voluminous clothing around the midriff and anything super body-conscious.

TO SPIRITUAL WHOLENESS

4.You are more Hip than the average gal. Dark monochromatic colors visually recede. Skirts are gorgeous on you when stick to slightly tapered and knee length.

Tops should emphasize your shoulders will balance the proportions out. Do not ever wear tops that end at the widest place of your body.

THE TOP TEN EXCUSES FOR NOT TALKING TO YOUR MATE - Part 2

L

By Dr. Ron Ross

ast week I began listing the Top Ten Most Common Excuses for NOT Talking to Your Mate. Before I finish the list, here is a brief review of Excuses 10 – 6: Excuse # 10: The Smartphone. A text or phone call is allowed to interrupt absolutely anything.

Excuse # 9: The job. For many couples, the dirty little secret is that one partner is happier at the office than at home so he or she seeks out projects to keep them at work.

Excuse # 8: Exercise. Health is important and a good-enough excuse to avoid the difficult issues that often arise between people who love each other.

Excuse #7: The television. No other invention of man has done as much to inhibit human conversation as the television.

Excuse # 6: The computer. If someone is busily working at a computer it means they are doing something important, right? Or not.

Excuse #5: Do-Good. Another legitimate excuse to be incommunicado is to volunteer for something that is more important than everyone in your family.

Now for the Final Four of the Top Ten Most Common Excuses for NOT Talking to Your Mate.

Excuse #4: Family. A married couple with kids can spend 98% of their time talking about their children and the myriad of events and issues they encounter every day and never enter the minefield of their own deteriorating relationship. It is safer to talk about little Johnny’s soccer schedule and little Julie’s dance recital than it is to discuss feelings of isolation, anxiety or disappointment.

Excuse #3: Fear. This excuse is the invisible deterrent to meaningful communication. We hesitate to communicate if we fear what will happen when our true feelings are exposed; if we fear the reaction the revelation of our real needs will bring; if we fear what the other person will think if they

719-592-1365 www.csallergy.com

Including Allergy Injections

find out what is really on our mind. Someone once said, “Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.”

Excuse #2: Timing. This is a most clever way to escape a meaningful discussion; just say, “Let’s talk about this later, OK?” By declaring that this is not a good time to talk about the problem doesn’t mean you’re unwilling to talk, it just means that tomorrow will be a better time. At least until tomorrow comes and then for some reason that too is not a great time to visit.

Many an important issue between people who love each other has been buried alive in the grave of procrastination.

And now, The Number One Excuse for NOT Talking to Your Mate: Exhaustion.

By the time most married people get a moment or two of quiet time at the end of their day they are too tired to talk about anything really important. They can make conversation about the news of the day, chit-chat about the deteriorating culture, or gossip about the neighbor next door, but to talk about what’s really important takes way more emotional energy than is available at day’s end.

So what happens? They stay up later than they should doing things that “must be done before tomorrow” so by the time they go to bed they can fall asleep quickly and avoid any intimate interaction. And you know what? It works. When they finally crawl into bed they are both physically exhausted and emotionally disillusioned.

Back-to-back they lay awake thinking “something has happened to the happilyever-after part of our marriage” and they have no energy left to deal with it. Sleep is their only salve and the morning puts them back on the treadmill of their lonely life.

But notice that each of the Top Ten Excuses for NOT Talking to Your Mate are just that – excuses. They are not powers or events outside of your control. They are things you can do something about. In a loving relationship each partner takes personal responsibility for their mutual happiness. No excuses allowed. © 2013 Dr. Ron Ross All Rights Reserved Comments to Dr.Ross@RonRossToday.com

cannot retain any of the security deposit to cover “normal wear and tear”. Nor can a landlord retain any of the security deposit to make capital improvements (for example, if the landlord decides he wants to upgrade the flooring from carpeting to hard flooring, etc.).

THE LAW ACCORDING TO STEVENS © August, 2013

by Lisa Welch Stevens, Attorney at Law P.C.

TENANTS DO HAVE SOME RIGHTS IN COLORADO AFTER ALL: SECURITY DEPOSITS

U

nlike many states Colorado, in line with its general pro-business and live-and-let-live stance, traditionally has offered few if any rights to tenants. However they are not total bereft of rights and, whether tenant or landlord it is best to be aware of those rights.

One area in which tenants do have rights is with respect to security deposits. Security deposits are additional amounts of money paid by a tenant to a landlord in advance in addition to regular payments of rent.

Under Colorado law it is irrelevant what the parties call that additional amount; so long as its primary function is to secure the tenant’s performance of any of his legal obligations towards the landlord – and not only his duty to pay rent - it is a security deposit.

Beginning at the time the tenant returns possession of the rental premises to the landlord, the landlord must within 30 days return the full security deposit to the tenant (although the lease agreement can extend this period of time an additional 30 days, for a total of 60 days). This is the default position under Colorado law – the tenant has the right to return of the deposit. A landlord can retain some or all of the deposit only if he has “actual cause” for doing so; for example, the tenant punched holes in the walls, smashed the doors, ripped out appliances, etc. In that case the landlord can retain the actual amount required to repair those damages. A landlord can also retain some or all of the security deposit to cover such things as unpaid rent, unpaid utilities, repair work, cleaning of the premises contracted for by the tenant, abandonment of the rental premises by the tenant prior to the lease term, etc. However, a landlord

bringing Christ into your financial life

INVESTING FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE

Again, under Colorado law the default is that the tenant has the right to return of the security deposit in full. Because of that right a landlord wishing to retain any of the security deposit is required to give the tenant a written statement listing the exact reasons he is keeping it. This statement must be accompanied with a check for the difference (if any) between the total amount of the security deposit and the amount retained by the landlord. This statement must be sent within the period discussed above.

Honoring God with Your Financial Blessings CHUCK MAHER CFP

A landlord who does not observe these tenant rights may be liable for TRIPLE damages and attorney’s fees and costs. And if the tenant sues the landlord for wrongfully retaining any of the security deposit it is the landlord who bears the burden of proving at trial that the retention was lawful; the tenant does not have to prove that it was unlawful. This is the reverse of the normal burden of proof in civil lawsuits and, again, it is because the default is that the tenant has the right to return of the deposit.

Further if after receiving the landlord’s written statement regarding retention a tenant gives the landlord a demand for return of the security deposit anyway that landlord keeps the deposit (even if only pending resolution of the dispute or lawsuit) at his peril: if he does not return the deposit in full within 7 days after that demand and he loses in court he also may be liable for TRIPLE damages and attorney’s fees and costs.

health policy as a way of getting your credit card or bank numbers.

DON’T GET TRICKED ON OBAMACARE

W

e’ve all heard about the coming “Obamacare,� the new Affordable Care Act that will provide health insurance.

The scammers have heard about it too, and are taking advantage of all the confusion -- especially with seniors.

Here are some tricks that scammers might try to use on you: •You might get a phone call saying you can be one of the first to get your new health insurance card -- if you’ll provide certain information. •You might be told that it’s illegal not to sign up for the insurance and that you must give your personal information or you could go to jail.

These are all lies. The sharpies are trying to trick you into revealing your bank-account information, your Social Security number, your creditcard numbers, your address and your Medicare card number.

Even if they say they’re from “the government,� and even if they do have some of your information, that doesn’t mean it’s legitimate. The government isn’t going to call you to insist you sign up for Obamacare.

Here are a few of the facts: •If you’re already signed up with Medicare, you don’t have to sign up for Obamacare. •Others who have to sign up for the insurance can start signing up in October, with it taking effect next January.

Remember: These scammers are very slick and very convincing. Don’t be fooled. Just hang up. Then call the Federal Trade Commission to file a complaint at 1-877-382-4357.

•You could be told that your Medicare information has to be verified and updated, or it will be canceled. They might ask for an “upfrontâ€? fee to help you sort it all out.

Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL

• On Aug. 30, 30 B.C., Cleopatra, queen of Egypt and lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, takes her life following the defeat of her forces against Octavian, the future first emperor of Rome. She committed suicide possibly by means of an asp, a poisonous Egyptian serpent and symbol of divine royalty. • On Aug. 29, 1876, Charles F. Kettering, inventor of the electric self-starter, is born in Loundonville, Ohio. Kettering’s inventions spread far beyond the automotive industry: He helped develop the refrigerant Freon, and took an active role in the medical industry, inventing a treatment for venereal disease, an incubator for premature infants and artificial fever therapy. • On Aug. 27, 1908, future president Lyndon Baines Johnson is born on a farm near Stonewall, Texas. As president, Johnson pushed through the creation of Medicare/ Medicaid, Head Start, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

• On Aug. 26, 1959, the British Motor Corporation launches its newest car, the small, affordable Mark I Mini. The Mini went on to become one of the best-selling British cars in history. At only 10 feet long, the $800 Mini could sit four adults and had a trunk big enough for a reasonable amount of luggage.

ELECTRIC CO-OPS WERE CONSTRUCTED WITH LINES, POLES

• On Sept. 1, 1964, pitcher Masanori Murakami becomes the first Japanese man to play in U.S. baseball’s major leagues. Murakami was a teenage baseball prodigy in Japan, and his left-handed sidearm delivery proved an asset in the United States. • On Aug. 28, 1972, the U.S. Air Force gets its first ace designation since the Korean War when Captain Richard S. Ritchie and his “backseaterâ€? (radar intercept officer), Captain Charles B. DeBellevue, shoot down his fifth MiG near Hanoi. • On Aug. 31, 1985, Richard Ramirez, the notorious “Night Stalker,â€? is captured and nearly killed by a mob in East Los Angeles, Calif., after being recognized from a photograph shown on television and in newspapers. Ramirez was pulled from the enraged mob by police officers. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

CHEW ON THAT!

By Nick Yanez

F

ood has become something of a debatable topic. In today’s market, food companies tend to take a polar opposite stance on how food should be made and sold. Half of the market consists of “health freaks”. Grocery stores like Whole Foods and Sunflower Market have seen a huge increase in sales and popular opinion over the last ten years. It’s a movement. For the most part, it’s been a good thing. There’s an obvious obesity problem in America and it’s best to not take a sit-and-wait approach with this. However, “organic” labels have been popping up all over the place and jacking prices higher than ever.

On the other side of the isle, soda, chips, and hotdogs are still top sellers. Food billed as “fatty” and “unhealthy” has been engrained into our daily lives. Remember when things like a Soda Shop existed. It was a treat – like a milkshake or malt. Now it’s just standard fridge décor. And don’t get me wrong, I’m a Mountain Dew devotee myself. I drink way too much of the stuff. The bottom line is, an excess of anything is usually too much. You should try to maintain a healthy and balanced diet, without emptying your bank account.

That being said, every once in a while a product hits the shelves that is so absurd, you just have to try it. I recently stumbled upon an online article that revealed to me that Pepsi flavored Cheetos are a real thing! Shocking stuff, I know. The manufacturer managed to make two unhealthy snacks into one mega-garbagebag-of-deliciousness. I want them pulled from shelves immediately. I also would love to buy a bag (what did curiosity do to the cat again?). Unfortunately for my second plan, the item is only sold in Japan. Though there is a bag on Ebay for just $3.99!

This inspired me to dig down and do some research on strange items that are sold in regular American grocery stores.

The following are the 5 strangest items

I found: 1. Whipped Lightening Whipahol – An alcoholic version of whipped cream made for topping of shots and mix drinks. The item can be found in 13 US States. It can, of course, only be purchased by those 21 and older.

You can buy the bottle in standard flavor, or go exotic with Chocolate Almond Brownie flavor or Coconut Cream Pie. 2. Hemp Milk – Exactly what it sounds like. The milk is made with the nuts and seeds from a hemp plant. Until recently, farmers were unable to grow Hemp plants legally in America. They would import the plant from Canada, produce the milk, and sell it in America legally.

It’s actually super healthy, containing a good dose of iron, calcium, and other minerals. No, it won’t get you high, but it does come in Chocolate!

3. Canned Roasted Scorpions – Also, exactly what it sounds like. While they are a delicacy in Thailand, they seem frightening and weird to most Americans. They can be found and purchased at a lot of Asian Market Stores. No word on how healthy they are.

4. Canned Reindeer – Our second of two canned items on this list. Reindeer are surprisingly healthy for red meat; about the healthiest red meat you can find actually. Because of how they are raised and fed, Reindeer typically only have about 2% fat content. Hard to find and expensive, Canned Reindeer can typically cost about $30 a can!

5. Bacon Gumballs – A questionable treat made and distributed by novelty candy retailer Archie McPhee, the bacon-flavored gum seems less than desirable. Not the only bacon flovored treat by the company, shoppers can also stumble upon Bacon Lollipops if lucky!

by Samantha Weaver • It was Napoleon Bonaparte who made the following sage observation: “Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.”

• In 2006, an 87-year-old Oregon man, Marty Alvey, lost nearly all his sight, due (unsurprisingly) to age-related causes. This is not noteworthy. However, three years later, the same man became faint and dizzy, so he called 911. He began to feel better on the ambulance ride to the hospital, but he wanted to be checked out anyway. By the time the doctor made it to his room, Alvey’s sight had been restored. Even after thorough examinations by two ophthalmologists, no cause was found.

AUGUST 26, 2013

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty might upset some people, but you inevitably win more admirers for having the courage to tell the truth when others are more likely to scramble for cover.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your efforts to defend your project begin to show favorable results.

You should soon be able to win over even the most determined detractors who had lined up against it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You win praise for your selfless efforts in a very difficult situation. But be careful not to allow your generous nature to be exploited by those who have their own agenda.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A trusted colleague sheds light on a recent spate of puzzling workplace situations. This should give you the informa-

• If a frog eats too many fireflies, it will begin to glow.

• You’ve probably heard or seen pictures of bioluminescent lagoons, but the bacteria that cause this phenomenon are not limited to small bays and inlets. In fact, there is a bioluminescent patch of ocean to be found off the horn of Africa. “Patch” may not be quite the right word to describe it, though; the area that glows is the same size as the state of Connecticut.

• You might be surprised to learn that the sweatiest part of the human body is not the armpits; it’s the palms of the hands. ***

• If you’re pregnant in Switzerland, don’t tell anyone the name you plan to give your baby; it’s considered to bring bad luck.

Thought for the day: “I hate women because they always know where things are.”

tion you need to bring to your superior’s attention.

should give you a considerable edge in finding a way to get around the negativity you’ve run into.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A shift in workplace management could be helpful for talented Leos and Leonas who have been waiting to have their accomplishments rewarded by receptive leadership.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A misunderstanding between you and someone you care for should be corrected immediately. This relationship is too important to lose over a bruised ego.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A welcome piece of good news helps clear the air in a family situation. A job-related incident also eases as more information provides a clearer focus on the problem.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) That sudden streak of stubbornness could cause some problems. Try to be more open to helpful suggestions and more flexible in making needed changes.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Now that that special relationship appears to be well and truly restored, you can spend more time dealing with those long-needed workplace changes.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A new opportunity sounds promising. But watch out for any conditions that might be attached. Before making a decision, ask that each one be explained in detail.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Quick action to heal bruised feelings pays off in a big way.

Now you’ll be able to move forward with your plans without that problem holding you back.

BORN THIS WEEK: You can be distracted by promises of good times, yet you ultimately reach the goals you set for yourself.
