Colorado Local Legends

EDITOR'S NOTE: After several days of intense contemplation, meditation, and prescription medication, along with a couple of day trips to Boulder, our resident 'non-believer-in-anything', also known as Hammer, has decided to delve into the astrological sciences. The following is his take and his take only.

Virgo
(The Virgin)
Aug 23-Sept 22
The stars say you love tennis, racquetball, swimming, sailing, fishing and biking. No wonder you’re a virgin, who has the time? Virgo is an earth sign and the sixth sign of the Zodiac, which means absolutely nothing to me, just thought you might want to know. Most Virgos are shy and waiting for the perfect lover; good luck with that. Your sign rules the sinuses, respiratory systems and bowels. How these are all related, I’m not sure, but I’m thinking they are why you always seem to have a cold, a cough and are, well we won’t get into that. You have an analytical and critical approach to relationships, which is an instant turnoff to men, hence the Virgin sign. Celebrity Virgins, Virgos or whatever you want to call yourselves include Mrs. Hammer, explaining why I never seem to get any this time of year.

Libra
(The Scales)
Sept 23-Oct 23
You tend towards procrastination and vacillation, which we will definitely get to later, or maybe not. Librans love to be admired, especially while standing naked and holding up a set of scales. Your love of justice makes you fair-minded, your love of ice cream makes you big-behinded. Okay, that may not be a word, but this is my column, not yours. Your flowers include roses, daisies, violets and orchids, which my exhaustive astrological research has shown means, well, you like pretty flowers. Libra has given us artists such as Arthur Miller, Mario Puzo, John Le Carre’ and Oscar Wilde along with David Lee Roth, Hillary Duff and Tanya Tucker, showing there really is balance in the world.
