Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my red hot hotties! How are you? Well, no more complaints about cool weather, eh? I suspect Mother Nature may be bipolar. Please, make up your mind already, dear. I don’t know why early June would call for a mid-August heat wave. I am still very happy to see the sun, though, and the weathermen (who I think are drunken fools) say that the temperatures will moderate for Thursday and Friday. And we may have one of those zinger summer storms tonight when the cold front meets the heat. The lightning and thunder and cooling rain are beautiful in their own way, but I don’t like it when the storms get too violent. I am a psychic of peace.

Anthony Weiner jokes are all the rage, as Ms. kk pointed out in her blog below. I thought I’d publish a link to some of those jokes: http://politicalhumor.about.com/b/2011/06/07/anthony-weiner-jokes.htm Of course, I am embarrassed and disgusted by the entire affair. If I was married to this Weiner, I’d make sure he doesn’t have much left to send pictures of. Oh my.

Here’s a hot story that developed yesterday: “No bodies found in Liberty County home after psychic's tip” http://www.khou.com/news/crime/Liberty-County-deputies-search-property-after-tipster-reports-dismembered-bodies-123394698.html

I wonder who this “psychic” is? Now it’s just another bum rap affecting the reputation of all psychics. I’ll bet that she is not certified. Humph!

This weekend is the Monument Square Art Fair on the Lake (at Festival Park): http://www.monumentsquareartfair.com/ I remember when the Monument Square Art Fair was still on Monument Square. Err, no I don’t – I remember someone telling me about it. I’m not that old…

Speaking of Monument Square, don’t forget the delightful Music on the Monument series which provides free live music during Friday lunch hours in the summer downtown. Sometimes the square gets to rocking so much that the Civil War soldier statue on the top of the pedestal taps his feet. OK, that’s not entirely true, either. It usually happens on First Fridays, when everyone’s had enough to drink. Oh dear.

Madame Zoltar Soapbox Time: Be extra vigilant about bicyclists as you drive about Racine. It seems that each year brings further erosion in the skills of motorists and bicyclists. I have had to lock my brakes four times recently because of a bicycle running a stop sign/light, and summer has just begun. Those of us in vehicles are surrounded by sheet metal and safety glass. The bicyclist has little protection, except maybe a helmet. It’s no contest if we collide. Please keep your eyes peeled.

“Keep your eyes peeled” - that’s a gruesome expression when you think about it. When I think about my dear Irregulars and friends, though, I get nothing but good vibrations. Thank you so much for reading my blog this week. I love you all.

Now remember to keep yourselves hydrated, my dears. Stay some place that is air conditioned. And check on relatives and friends who are elderly or frail. I don’t care what the calendar says, summer is here. Sectility!
