from The Old Farmer’s Almanac, 2003
“Earth’s Aphelion (farthest point from the Sun) arrives on the 3rd, with the Sun now at its dimmest of the year. In fact, everything but Mars seems to be reaching a choreographed nadir. Jupiter, near the crescent Moon on the 2nd, crosses into Leo and drops so low into evening twilight that its lovely conjunction with Mercury on the 25th will be a challenge to see. Saturn is lost in solar glare until the end of the month. Venus’s long performance as a morning star sputters to a close. But Mars makes up for it all: Near the Moon on the 17th and brighter than magnitude – 1.0, it rises by 11 P.M and overwhelms the dim stars of Aquarius, its home until December.”

Great Deals!
It’s been a busy few days since my daughter, Katheryn, just turned 20 and we did a lot of celebrating!
We did get an interesting catalog in the mail. I’d never seen it before and all it said was Daedalus Books on the cover. I started looking and was quite happy. Here was a catalog I REALLY wanted!
Every book on every page had heavy discounts. I went online to their web site and placed an order. I picked up 9 new books for less than $50.
Here’s their byline: “Daedalus Books & Music, the online discount book and music store selling thousands of quality bargain books and overstock CDs for the independent reader and listener.”
These aren’t the latest books but they have the number of pages and the publication year to help determine the really good deal you get.
Until next time,

Got a Minute?
Hello,
At 12:34am, my time, I finished the novel part and started the non-fiction part of “The One Minute Millionaire” by Mark Victor Hanson and Robert G. Allen. I almost couldn’t go back to sleep.
I consider it the single most important book I have ever read.
“Here are two books in one, fiction and nonfiction, designed to address two kinds of learning so that you can fully integrate these life-changing lessons.” – from the jacket of the book
The book is written in this way to appeal to either the ‘engineer’ types or the ‘artistic’ types. I’ll be reading both – more than once I’m guessing.
I encourage you to visit the library and look at this book in particular, and anything else by Robert G. Allen.
Reading this book, at this point in time, has changed my life forever!
Be healthy, wealthy and wise,
Pam

JUNE, The Sixth Month
from The Old Farmer’s Almanac, 2003
“Jupiter, near the crescent Moon on the 4th, gets lower in the west and is now visible only before midnight. The Moon is at perigee on the 12th. Mercury and Venus come strikingly close together on the 20th but are a difficult sight a few degrees above the eastern horizon in the predawn twilight. Saturn is totally gone, invisibly entering Gemini before passing behind the Sun on the 24th. The big story is Mars, now brilliant (and 500 times brighter than Uranus, which floats just above the red planet). Rising soon after midnight Mars is near the Moon on the 18th. Summer begins with the solsitce on the 21st at 12:10 in the afternoon.”
