BLUE PLACIDOLA
Your compete MICRO*scope for today

You are the type of person who makes it look as though a sloth is moving at a fast pace. Family and friends often nudge you from behind or tug your arm for no apparent reason. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time waiting for visits from door-to-door solicitors wanting to buy either decorative celebrity figurines or a flower arrangement with anything but tulips for your grandfather.

I was mugged -- relieved of several valuable possessions -- right in front of the Shady Valley police station. I did the selling and my mugger did the "buying." While my part in the exchange was involuntary, the mugger's part was quite voluntary.
