The Daily Drift

The Daily Drift

Today's horoscope says:
Could circumstances beyond your control be turning you into a more jaded person?
Today, before you lose sight of the world's wonders, unearth some of your old idealistic tendencies.
They aren't gone -- they're still deep down inside of you.
They've been sleeping, just waiting for a time when they'll be necessary and relevant in your life again.
Let yourself be impressed by the magic that surrounds you every day.
Smile at a stranger who smiles at you.

Not another one!

What is it about Tuesdays in June?

For the second week in a row Life has thrown a monkey wrench into the works here at the offices of Carolina Naturally (and Wednesday doesn't look good either - making its second week in a row appearance).


This time around we decided to just post a few posts in lieu of an hiatus for two days again so soon after last week's 'Lost Weekend' so to speak.

Oh, and here's a random picture for the Heckuvit!

There’s a moon out tonight … and if it isn't a Full Moon, it's as close as you can get and not be!

Worker income at a new low

U.S. workers' income share hits record low

The average employee's piece of the pie has plummeted despite record profits for American companies.

Possible factors 

Also: 

• Lower food prices coming
• Good retail sales news
• A bid for statehood

A 780-year-old relic stolen

From the "It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of fellows" Department:

Theft of 780-year-old relic stuns church

An irreplaceable treasure linked to the patron saint of lost things vanishes in broad daylight near L.A.

Brazen heists 

Also: 

• Fight over tallest Christ
• Ancient statue visits U.S.
• Surfing Madonna saga

And don't believe that bullshit about it being irreplaceable - they'll have another chicken bone toot sweet claiming it was the real relic all along and the 'fake' they put on display was the one that was stolen.

Sunspots to 'hibernate'
