Everybody is on their knees except the Russians and the Chinese

















Called careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?

We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line

-- Elvis Costello, "Oliver's Army" (1979)

Ever wonder what the world is going to look like in 2050? If that's too much of a stretch, how about in 2015?

What was it like growing up?

Is it better to tend your own garden or be a nomad?

Is it better to be on the offensive or the defensive?

Is it better to be flexible or steadfast?

Is it better to stick your head in the sand or to look around and see what's up?

Is it better to have a lot of firepower or fast wits?

Is it better to be pessimistic or optimistic?

Is it better to have freedom and choice or fatalism and destiny?

As we move into the Sagittarian cycle, lots to wonder about beyond artificial polarities.

Today's Rune: Strength.

Good ol' Elvis Costello and the Attractions. I was a big fan of his, then he married Diane Krall. Oh, but I'll confess, her music is pretty good too.

As for occupations, as long as our economy is going south, I'll have plenty of students.
