I’ve always enjoyed the sprightly writing of Nikki Silverstein, and as a resident for 20 years appreciated her “Savvy in Sausalito” (Feb. 13). In what was a fairly exhaustive list of local eateries, I was surprised and sad that she skipped the friendliest and one of the best, the Anchorage 5 on Gate 5 Road across from Heath Ceramics. The very first customer review I pulled up on Yelp said it well: “Really great, quality food with a nice small-town feel.” Not to mention classical music, sunny booths on a window wall and the caring hospitality of owners Regina and Luis. And here’s my tip, order the huevos montañas or the best corned beef hash on the planet. Lynn Lohr Sausalito

I am disturbed, disappointed and frightened that so many mainstream Americans continue to place all responsibility for the dangerous rivalry between the United States and Russia on the shoulders of

Vladimir Putin. The future of humanity is in grave danger from the ongoing destructive competition between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union. It should be obvious to almost everyone who follows the events of the world that unless the United States and Russia are able to change this dangerous and hundredyear-old rivalry into a more friendly and cooperative relationship, ridding the world of nuclear weapons will never be possible. In addition, without this marked improvement in our relationship, stopping the progression of global warming will also remain a virtual impossibility. Clearly humankind’s only real hope for our long-term survival on this planet requires that both we Americans and the Russians can somehow manage to end our hostile relations and move into a new era of genuine peace and harmony. I hope that this change becomes possible. And every sacrifice in our excessive national pride will be a small price to pay for saving the entire human race from total destruction. Rama Kumar Fairfax

Di Hard Dianne Feinstein is not kidding around By Tom Gogola

viral video of Sen. Dianne Feinstein has been making the rounds this week, as the Bay Area politician has been taken to task for her strong and dismissive reaction to a group of young people who asked her to sign on to the Green New Deal. The students approached Feinstein in her San Francisco office last week with a big hand-written letter that asked if the 85-year-old senator might spend her remaining time in office helping to save the planet so that they, too, might one day become U.S. senators instead of watching starving polar bears float by on ice cubes.

Feinstein wasn’t having any of it from the eco-minded whippersnappers, as she bragged of having just won another term, handily, and that none of these pain-in-the-neck kids voted for her, anyway, so why should she care what they think? Feinstein told the student environmentalists, “You know what’s interesting about this group? I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing. You come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that.” The encounter went downhill fast from there. A 16-year-old girl told

Feinstein, “We’re the people who voted for you. You’re supposed to listen to us. That’s your job.” Feinstein asked her how old she was and then snapped at the teen, “Well you didn’t vote for me.” And . . . probably never will. Throughout the encounter, Feinstein looks like she wants to waterboard the children with her iconoclastic eyebrows, which danced testily at their inquiries regarding her opposition to the Green New Deal proposed by progressive Democrats and mocked steadily by the legions of the right and their »6 centrist enablers.

“Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today,” said Pulitzer Prize–winning author Herman Wouk. Well, Herman, this year we want to do it properly, which is why we’re grateful for the IRS-certified volunteers at the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide. These heroes assist folks with low to moderate incomes prepare their tax returns, and best of all, the confidential help is free. What a deal! There’s no sales pitch for anything, and you don’t need to be a senior or an AARP member to take advantage of the service. For locations, days and hours of operation and a list of important documents you’ll need, visit www. aarp.org/money/taxes/aarp_taxaide/. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) serves as a mainstay in the Zero column, usually for taking law-abiding, undocumented citizens into custody. This week, we delve into their recent activities at Rustic Bakery. ICE conducted a worker documentation audit of Rustic Bakery’s four Marin cafes and its production bakery in Petaluma. The I-9 audit determined that some workers presented improper employment eligibility documentation. The business was forced to terminate approximately 20 employees that were unable to deliver corrected papers. Departing workers were given severance pay by the bakery. “These workers provided key kitchen, bakery and retail services, and were paid a fair and living wage with benefits,” according to Rustic Bakery management. Until they are able to hire and train new staff, Rustic is offering a limited menu. ICE hasn’t taken any of the sacked employees into custody at this time, and legal aid and advocacy groups are now working on their behalf. We urge ICE to spend its time arresting the undocumented criminals and gang members that Trump always whines about and allow law-abiding, hard-working citizens lead their lives without persecution.

6 Feinstein «5

Well, young proponents of the Green New Deal have a message of their own for the senator.

The social media lit up at Feinstein’s tone and demeanor toward the kids, and the episode quickly turned into a sort of Covington moment. Some wondered why the students were there in the first place when this whole save-the-world thing is really an adults game. It costs money, Feinstein scolded, and we just don’t have it, kids. After the encounter went viral, the youth were variously described by Green New Deal detractors as pawns and dupes of radical left-wing parents. Mill Valley resident Maya Musick rejects the narrative in toto. She was there in Feinstein’s office with her twoyear-old and tells the Pacific Sun that she was mighty disappointed by Feinstein’s response to the children—and to the tenor of the attacks on the kids. “I was honored to be in the room with the brave kids who spoke with Sen. Feinstein,” Musick says of the Feb. 22 encounter. “I was there with my two-year-old son fighting for his future. As someone who met these children in person, I can assure you they were there by their own free will and speaking from the heart. They are not media props; they are human beings who wish to survive.”

Musick adds that Feinstein did offer her own “watered-down version of climate action. Her plan doesn’t come close to meeting the scale of the problem as laid out by scientists. Currently, the Green New Deal is the only solution grand enough to ensure the survival of our species. This is an emergency. We will not stand for being told there is no money to fund a solution to this crisis.” As it stands, the Green New Deal is a resolution in search of a legislative package. Its broad outlines aim to save the planet and the American economy through deep and sustained investment in alternative energies. Locally, it’s been supported by U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman; Mike Thompson’s been mum on it, and Nancy Pelosi has made some nice gestures in its direction by declaring her “enthusiasm” for the effort undertaken by freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (the resolution was co-sponsored by Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey). “We have no other choice,” says Musick, “but to demand that our politicians co-sponsor [the] Green New Deal.” She concluded her statement with a hashtag: #ListenToTheKids. Y

Flashback 20 Years Ago THIS WEEK

As the much ballyhooed Global Year 2000 computer glitch closes in on us, an unlikely array of civic and activist organizations in Marin has assembled to combat this hightech beast of our own creation.

The various groups are working to alert Marin County citizens and small businesses of major computer problems that could strike at midnight on December 31. Members of these groups also want to ensure that the region’s critical utilities are ready with contingency plans should systems fail. —Marjean Curtis-Oakes, Feb. 24–March 2, 1999

30 Years Ago

Baseball great Vernon “Lefty” Gomez died at age 80. He had an illustrious career with the Yankees and was inducted THIS WEEK into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Gomez was as famous for his warmth and wit as he was for his pitching skill. He was born in Rodeo, played pro ball first with a team in Point Reyes, retired to Fairfax, and lived in San Marin at the time of his death. The Fairfax Little League park is named in his honor. —Feb. 24–March 2, 1989

40Years Ago

Today, microprocessors are invading virtually every aspect of life in America, changing the way we work, play and THIS WEEK think. A new wave of computer-on-a-chip applications and innovations is poised on the horizon, leading industry experts and social scientists to openly proclaim the dawn of a new social revolution, the “Information Age.” —Jon Stewart and John Markoff, Feb. 23–March 1, 1979

Can offshore windmills save the planet—or at least California—from ruin? By Tom Gogola

hen it comes to global climate change and what to do about it, there’s a meme you hear in California politics that says Jerry Brown was a man of ambition but Gavin Newsom’s a man of action. It was Gov. Brown, after all, who set California’s highly ambitious 2045 goal for the state to be weaned off of fossil fuels and fully shifted to an all-renewables energy matrix. Now Brown’s gone and it’s upon Newsom’s administration to decide or declare whether the state should get onboard with an ambitious new offshore wind-farm plan released by

the Berkeley-based American Jobs Project in February. “We hope that state policy leaders take a look at this,” says Mary Collins, managing director and co-founder of the American Jobs Project. The American Jobs Project (AJP) paper endorses two wind farms currently under consideration for development—in Morro Bay and off the Humboldt County coast— and could add some 18,000 jobs to the California mix by 2045. Given California’s deep-water offshore challenges, the AJP proposal would emphasize cutting-edge offshore windmill technology—huge

floating windmills with massive, football-field-length fins that would be tethered to the ocean floor. The AJP’s jobs-focused vision also discusses future technologies such as giant wind-catching kites called Makani devices to fully leverage the renewable promise of wind energy, especially on a cloudy day. That’s all very ambitious, but is it politically feasible?

ewsom has taken an all-of-the-above approach as he entered office pledging to meet the 100 percent goal. As lieutenant governor he chaired the Lands

Commission and in a statement online from late 2017 noted that “we must continue diversifying our energy supply—that means increasing our output of solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and ocean-based energy.” The AJP is a nonprofit think tank founded by former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm that was incubated out of Berkeley and has an office in the Washington, D.C., area. The organization says it’s been engaged in New Green Deal–type work in 24 states over the past five years but that this is its first foray into California climate-change waters.

8 Wind «7 Growth proposal came about because of the 2045 goal set by Brown and pledged to by Newsom on his first day in office—and because the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) started the leasing process for offshore wind-farms development as of last year. As a result of these intersecting forces, says Collins, “We could see a federal lease as early as 2020 in California waters.” Could being the operative word. The AJP has dotted the expected i’s and crossed the mandatory t’s in its exhaustive wind project blueprint for California energy independence—it has interviewed the fishermen, solicited input from environmental groups, gotten the public-private ball rolling, engaged in discussions with the Department of Defense, and made sure that organized labor has a place at the table. The AJP vision comes with the promise of thousands of permanent jobs in the renewable and cleanenergy industry—and with bigticket investment interest in the California project from the likes of Google, Shell and Apple. If fully implemented, the AJP says “offshore wind could be utilized to achieve 100 percent carbon-free energy, improve grid reliability, and support over 17,500 California jobs in 2045.” That’s a ways off. In the shorter term, Collins says there’s work to be done between now and next January, but is optimistic that the various stakeholders and interested parties will see their concerns fully mitigated. Historically, onshore and offshore wind projects have been fraught with concerns over negative interactions with birds. North Coast U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman has taken an exceedingly dim view of offshore oil platforms but has signaled an openess to offshore wind farms (his district includes Humboldt County). Huffman notes that the BOEM hasn’t indicated yet whether the lease procurement will be a wide-open bidding process or “whether they could go right to a decision right away with the local energy project.” He’d prefer the latter option and says that while the “devil is in the details” (transmission issues, impacts on fisheries) the Humboldt project—

which he’s more familiar with than the Morro plan—is “a site that looks like a spot that could be appropriate. I am for it in concept for sure. We’ve got to find some ways to say ‘yes’ to projects like this—but it also has to be done thoughtfully.” The conditions are very favorable in Humboldt Bay, he notes: “The wind is good, the conditions are good, and the Department of Defense doesn’t need to protect it for military purposes.”

ishermen have been wary of offshore wind farms because of the potential negative impacts on where they can fish, and for their gear getting torn up in the windmills. Environmentalists, and Donald Trump, have pointed to the deleterious impacts on birds. But there’s been a attitudinal sea change in recent years over offshore wind farms, as the existential issue of massive global catastrophe has trumped concerns about pelicans flying into the windmill fins. The East Coast has led the way in offshore wind projects domestically, but for many years, commercial fishermen along the Atlantic were among the biggest critics of the development of a wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island and New York. That project came online in 2016 and, irony of ironies, fishermen there are now charging windmill tourists for a boat ride to go check out the aesthetically appealing wind turbines, says Collins. “People are really intrigued with this,” says Collins. “There’s a fusion of this renewable energy technology with new maritime opportunities. We’ve seen it in Germany—a tourism industry bubbling up.” California fishermen were at the table as the AJP put together its private-public blueprint for California, she adds, and have been since an intergovernmental task force was created at the beginning of the BOEM wind-farm lease process in 2016. What’s needed moving forward, she says, is data. “We need more data on fisheries, that’s one thing.” Fishermen have given input to the renewables industry on issues such as whale migration patterns, she says. Land-bound aesthetic concerns won’t be an issue, she adds, given that the turbines will be tethered

about 20 miles offshore and out of view—or barely visible—from land. Besides, she says, after the installation of the wind farm off of Rhode Island, a survey of tourists there found that only one in 10 had a problem with the visible windmills. Collins says the mainline environmental groups—Sierra Club, the National Resources Defense Fund—have submitted comments under the lease proposal that indicates that they’re open to offshore wind farm development. “They are not against it but want it to happen in the right way,” says Collins. The Sierra Club has applauded offshore wind project developments on the East Coast and says on its website, “Offshore wind is a key part of transitioning our nation off dirty energy sources like coal, and toward our clean energy future.” Still, there are concerns that these new proposed leases could be a portent for what’s to come. There’s a possibility that wind farms could one day appear in California’s coastal marine sanctuaries, says Paul Michel, superintendent for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, which stretches from San Luis Obispo County to Marin County’s Rocky Point, seven miles north of the Golden Gate. Just beyond the sanctuary’s border there are two more, including the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, which stretches all the way to Point Arena. Oil drilling is prohibited in the sanctuaries, barring a reversal from the feds, but Michel, who works under the federal National and Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), says that sanctuary officials are working on a permitting process that could potentially allow wind farms in these protected areas.

o what’s in it for Sonoma and Marin counties? Potentially a lot, says Collins, especially given recent events surrounding PG&E. The AJP proposal notes that offshore wind projects could sync with the emergent and growing community choice aggregation movement, where counties and regions are determining their energy future through a mix of renewables. Offshore wind could

be a dynamic addition to the mix. The AJP estimates that there’s enough wind energy blowing offshore to provide California with one and a half times its annual electricity needs. The proposals in Humboldt and Morro Bay aim to harvest 18 kw a year through an array of the floating windmills. In Huffman’s view, ideally, the energy would be created and utilized by the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (the local CCA)—and as Collins notes, could also be procured by the regional CCAs Sonoma Clean Power and Marin Clean Energy, which purchase renewable energy from solar and wind farms that are often many miles down the electric wire from the point of consumption. “There’s way more energy potential than there is demand” in Humboldt County, says Huffman. The offshore wind farm push from AJP arrives as the state is engaged in multiple legislative efforts and discussions about how to upgrade its electric grid, especially in light of the recent catastrophic wildfires and how they’ve put the finger on the aging grid. The CCAs rely on that same grid to deliver renewable energy to its customers— whether it’s from local geothermal sources, or from massive solar panel farms or distant wind farms. “One question we have to ask,” says Collins, “especially with the PG&E fallout, is: can the Marin and Sonoma CCAs be early procurers of this and share the costs and benefits of this new technology?” Speaking personally, Collins notes that the PG&E bankruptcy has raised broader questions about power-grid systems as they relate to wildfire risk. And again, she says, this is where offshore wind can be a win-win. She decries “proposals to connect us to high wind areas in Wyoming—we’d build these longrange transmission lines from Wyoming to California to connect us to areas of wind.” The argument often made against cross-state power procurement is that it bleeds jobs from California. “But I think the issue is one of fire risk,” says Collins. “Why don’t we instead look at offshore resources closer to home?” Y

Rainbow Girls give the fans what they want By Charlie Swanson

onoma County vocalists, multi-instrumentalists and songwriters Erin Chapin, Caitlin Gowdey and Vanessa May have already made a name for themselves in the Bay Area as folk trio Rainbow Girls, garnering acclaim for their harmonious live shows and their breakout 2017 album, American Dream. Now Rainbow Girls are gearing up for worldwide acclaim. Ahead of this month’s release of a new covers album, Give the People What They Want, the group found a massive online audience with their homemade music video cover of Alvin Robinson’s 1964 hit “Down Home Girl,” which was viewed more than 6 million times on Facebook in six months. “It’s very exciting,” says May of the group’s viral success. “You ask yourself, ‘How does that happen?’”

Originally, the group’s viral video was simply a one-off cover song filmed to promote a local show last September, recorded with an iPhone on the back porch of the band’s west Sonoma County home. “All of a sudden we were getting requests for that song from all over the place,” says May, who says they even received an email from a radio station in Austria asking to play the song. From that video, Rainbow Girls were inspired to create a full LP of covers that became Give the People What They Want, available now. “The name of the record came pretty naturally,” says May. “People wanted a recording of this song, and people have been asking for other songs that are on this collection.” In addition to “Down Home Girl,” the trio also tackle monumental folk anthems like Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall” and John Prine's

“Angel from Montgomery.” Other artists that get the Rainbow Girls treatment on the new record include Gillian Welch and Nat “King” Cole. This week, Rainbow Girls give North Bay audiences what they want, opening for acclaimed folk siblings Shook Twins in concert on March 3, at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma. The band’s touring schedule this year is busy, including festival appearances and international tours in the works. “We have a lot that people can look forward to this year,” says May. “We have a bunch of new music always flowing out, and it feels good to present it to our audience.” Rainbow Girls open for Shook Twins on Sunday, March 3, at the Mystic Theatre & Music Hall, 23 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 8:30pm. $15. 21 and over. 707.775.6048.

Vintage Broadway nyone going to a performance of Hello, Dolly!—running now at the SHN Golden Gate Theatre through March 17—with an appetite for an enlightened look at male/female relationships is likely to leave quite hungry. The current national tour of the 2017 revival of the 1964 Broadway smash, based on Thorton Wilder’s 1955 revision of his 1938 play, extrapolated from an Austrian playwright’s 1842 extension of an English dramatists 1835 oneact (got all that?), reflects the thencommon attitudes toward a women’s place in society and the home. Those going to a performance of Hello, Dolly! with an appetite to see a Broadway legend at work, or hear magnificent musical classics delivered with gusto, or see a bevy of athletic dancers spring across the stage in spirited numbers based on Gower Champion’s original choreography, or be dazzled by the color and craftsmanship at work in

Santo Loquasto’s scenic and costume design, is likely to leave the theater with their appetite satiated. Tony-winner Betty Buckley (Cats, Sunset Boulevard) plays Dolly Gallagher Levi, a matchmaker and Jill-of-all-trades in 19th-century New York, who’s been engaged by the wellknown Yonkers half-a-millionaire Horace Vandergelder (Lewis J. Stadlen) to find him a bride, an assignment which Dolly intends to fill herself. Subplots involve Vandergelder’s niece, Ermengarde (Morgan Kirner), and her paramour, Ambrose Kemper (Garett Hawe), and feed store clerks Cornelius (Nic Rouleau) and Barnaby (Jess LeProtto). At age 71, Buckley does her damnedest to make the part made famous by Carol Channing (at age 42) her own, and succeeds to an extent. It’s obvious and understandable that her choreography has been limited and that she lacks the vocal power to deliver some of the musical’s biggest moments (“Before the Parade Passes

By” was disappointingly flat), but she really delivers in the show’s quieter moments when she engages with the memories of her late husband. The supporting cast is outstanding, with Rouleau and LeProtto really scoring as the clerks unleashed in New York City, and Analisa Leaming and Kristen Hahn as the objects of their affections. MVP of this production goes to Stadlen, a reliable Broadway performer for the past 50 years who often toils in the anonymity common to great character actors. His eyebrows are as expressive as anything else onstage. Go ahead, roll your eyes during “It Takes a Woman,” but don’t be surprised to find yourself cheering after “Put on Your Sunday Clothes” and “The Waiters’ Gallop” and, at the very least, smiling through almost everything else. ‘Hello, Dolly!’ runs through March 17 at the Golden Gate Theatre, 1 Taylor St., San Francisco. Dates and times vary. $56–$256. 888.746.1799. shnsf.com.

Biting Back Help! Save the state by eating the invaders! By Tom Gogola

ouldn’t you know it but we’re in the midst of National Invasive Species Awareness Week (Feb. 23 to March 5), and Farm Burger in San Anselmo is marking the occasion with the introduction of a new treat on its sustainability-minded menu: the Chesapeake blue catfish sandwich with Bay fries. The sando’s debuting on March 5 at the Marin County outpost of Farm Burger, a company founded outside of Atlanta in 2010 that now boasts nine restaurants, most of them in the South (North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia). A Berkeley Farm Burger in the Gilman District closed last October. The blue catfish hasn’t invaded

California, but the bottomfeeder has wreaked havoc on the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, and the fish can get pretty darn big. Farm Burger’s brass says in a statement that they’ve been looking to add a fishwich to their menu of burgers (they’ve got a popular veggie one, too) but wanted to make sure they weren’t contributing to the collapse of ocean fisheries while doing so. Enter the voracious and invasive blue catfish. The offering will feature some battered chunks of the fish topped with coleslaw and jalapeno peppers, and looks quite tasty. They’re doing their part. But hey, given that it’s Invasive Species Awareness Week, and given that California’s got some invasive species of its own to contend with,

how can we all do our part and eat the invaders? Here are a few options. One of the more pernicious and politically charged of the California invaders is the grass carp, a standby fish in Asian dishes and also quite handy when it comes to eating aquatic plants, some of which are quite invasive in their own right. The state’s got some heavy restrictions on the grass carp, and for decades has overseen a program where sterilized carp are used in plant-eating enterprises on private ponds and the like. The fish will occasionally be landed by anglers, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture says that if you do happen to catch one, to cut off its head and report the landing to the state. (While you’re at it, gut

Swamp rat—is it what’s for dinner?

the fish, scale the fish, then go home and eat the fish.) Another intriguing invasive beast that’s shown up on occasion around these parts is the freshwater pacu, related to the piranha but without the horror-movie reputation. The pacu is native to Brazil, but a freakedout angler hooked one in Rohnert Park in 2015 and released it back to Roberts Lake lake without knowing what he’d caught—or without knowing about a very tasty recipe for grilled barbecue pacu ribs that I found at the Reluctant Gourmet website. Slather those pork-like ribs in a tangy barbecue sauce, and— voilà!—you’ve just saved the world! State researchers have reported pacu landings dating back to 1987 in the Russian River and in Marin’s Stafford and Alpine lakes. Go get yours. Lastly, we come to the nutria. Yes, the nutria, a cute and furry swamp rat that’s sort of like a muskrat but that (apparently) tastes a little less greasy. The nutria is not native to the state of California, but late last year a pregnant female was discovered to the east and now there have been sightings in numerous inland counties—but so far, none has made its way to Marin. Nutria are all over the place in Louisiana and were sort-of popularized by the writer Calvin Trillin when years ago he wrote about New Orleans chefs who were offering nutria on the menu. One rendition has it go through the smoker and then shredded for a pulled-nutria po’ boy. The nutria were introduced to California late in the 19th century for their fur potential, but the online histories of invasive species note that they never really took hold here. So the state’s a little unclear on how this latest batch of the rats arrived—since these are the first sightings in many decades—and has embarked on a voracious eradication campaign. The nutria destroy aquatic-based infrastructure with their burrowing, rat-like ways and are thus extremely unwelcome here. The problem is that the darn things breed like bunnies and—oh, no—are on the rise because of global warming, according to the science. What is to be done? Nobody’s suggesting that Farm Burger work the nutria onto its menu (perhaps with a topping of invasive wakame?)—I’m just saying that there’s a restaurant in nutria-overrun Russia that puts out a pretty tasty looking rat burger that one can drool over online, if you’ve got the stomach for that sort of thing. For now, enjoy that catfish sandwich. Y

By Amy Alkon

I’m a 35-year-old woman who’s been married for a year to a 70-yearold man. My husband’s closest female friend is also one of his exes. He’s known her for 40 years. She’s a real sore point for me. She stayed at our apartment while we were away. She wouldn’t reply to any of my emails but constantly emailed my husband. Recently, I saw a text my husband sent telling her to just email him at work because I have access to his phone. (That’s how I discovered that she was dissuading him from fixing things with me when we were fighting.) I feel that a husband shouldn’t have marriage-undermining friendships. I want him to stop talking with her. Am I wrong here?—Angry

Take a counterintuitive approach and put yourself in this woman’s shoes: Where’s she supposed to shop for men, the cemetery? Older women get seriously annoyed at how men their age—typically the wealthiest and most eligible—dip down through the decades for partners. On dating sites, even a 98-year-old man in an iron lung will set his age preference at 18-30, just in case some woman is “open-minded.” In a relationship, it’s common to ask for and expect sexual fidelity. But how much social fidelity is it reasonable to expect? The notion that a relationship involves becoming somebody’s “one and only” socially too, sounds romantic but is actually in sharp conflict with the complexity of many people’s lives. Your husband, for example, has had a friendship with this woman for 40 years—five years longer than you’ve been on the planet. His cutting her out of his life would mean cutting out somebody who understands who he is in a way few people probably do. That said, it’s natural that you’d wish he’d give this woman the heave-ho. The jealousy that gives rise to feelings like this is wrongly maligned as a “bad” emotion. However, like all emotions, it’s actually “adaptive”—which is to say functional. Evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains that jealousy seems to have evolved to protect us against threats to our relationship—alerting us to possibilities that our partner will cheat on us or leave us for another. But jealousy can also be toxic to a relationship and damaging to the mate value of the partner who expresses it. Additionally, consider how counterproductive it often is to tell somebody what to do. The late social psychologist Jack Brehm came up with the term “psychological reactance” to describe a motivational state that automatically rises up when we feel our freedom to do as we choose is threatened. Basically, the more somebody tries to control our behavior the more we want to resist, rebel—do whatever they’ve been trying to stop us from doing. This isn’t to say you’re necessarily off-base about this woman. Chances are, she resents you and is trying to chip away at your bond with your husband. Rotten. However, as for how successful she could be, do you think your husband married you by accident? Like maybe you just happened to be in the passenger seat when he pulled into a drive-through chapel: “Oops. Thought this was a car wash.” As annoying as it must be to have this woman lurking around the borders of your marriage, consider the thinking from psychologist Erich Fromm that love is not just a feeling but something you do—sometimes by being a little more generous than you’d really like to be. This isn’t to say you have to shut up entirely about this woman. You can be honest with your husband that you find her undermining. Ironically, the best way to control your romantic partner is not by trying to control them but by being so loving, supportive, kind and fun that it would be idiotic for them to leave you. Also, let’s quash any fear you might have that this woman could steal your husband. There’s little novelty in getting together with somebody one’s known and been in touch with for 40 years. Also, recall how men, throughout their life span, tend to be most attracted to the younger ladies. Chances are, if he were to suddenly develop a thing for anything “midcentury,” it would be something like Eames chairs—not a woman who’s aged out of every dating program on TV, unless, of course, you count Antiques Roadshow.

Astrology

For the week of February 27

ARIES (March 21–April 19) South Koreans

work too hard. Many are on the job for 14 hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there. People take sabbaticals by checking into Prison Inside Me, a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones and internet and important appointments. Freed of normal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this—minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, low-pressure escape.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) The astrology

column you’re reading is published in periodicals in four countries: the United States, Canada, Italy and France. In all of these places, women have had a hard time acquiring political power. Neither the United States nor Italy has ever had a female head of government. France has had one, Édith Cresson, who served less than a year as Prime Minister. Canada has had one, Kim Campbell, who was in office for 132 days. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will be a more favorable time than usual to boost feminine authority and enhance women’s ability to shape our shared reality. And you Tauruses of all genders will be in prime position to foster that outcome. Homework: meditate on specific ways you could contribute, even if just through your personal interactions.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) A 19-year-old guy named Anson Lemmer started a job as a pizza delivery man in Glenwood, Colo. On his second night, he arrived with a hot pizza at a house where an emergency was in progress. A man was lying on the ground in distress. Having been trained in CPR, Lemmer leaped to his rescue and saved his life. I expect that you, too, will perform a heroic act sometime soon, Gemini—maybe not as monumental as Lemmer’s, but nonetheless impressive. And I bet it will have an enduring impact, sending out reverberations that redound to your benefit for quite some time. CANCER (June 21–July 22) Scientist Michael

Dillon was shocked when he learned that some bees can buzz around at lofty altitudes where the oxygen is sparse. He and a colleague even found two of them at 29,525 feet—higher than Mt. Everest. How could the bees fly in such thin air? They “didn’t beat their wings faster,” according to a report in National Geographic, but rather “swung their wings through a wider arc.” I propose that we regard these high-flying marvels as your soul animals for the coming weeks. Metaphorically speaking, you will have the power and ingenuity and adaptability to go higher than you’ve been in a long time.

LEO (July 23–August 22) Do you find it a

challenge to commit to an entirely plant-based diet? If so, you might appreciate flexitarianism, which is a less-perfectionist approach that focuses on eating vegetables but doesn’t make you feel guilty if you eat a bit of meat now and then. In general, I recommend you experiment with a similar attitude toward pretty much everything in the coming weeks. Be strong-minded, idealistic, willful, and intent on serving your well-being—but without being a maniacal purist.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) If you

gorge on sugary treats and soft drinks, you ingest a lot of empty calories. Since I am committed to helping you treat yourself with utmost respect, I always discourage you from that behavior. But I’m especially hopeful you will avoid it during the next three weeks, both in the literal and metaphorical senses. Please refrain from absorbing barren, vacant stuff into the sacred temple of your mind and body—including images, stories, sounds and ideas, as well as food and drink.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Charles

Grey was the second Earl of Grey, as well as prime minister of England from 1830 to 1834. His time in office produced pivotal changes, including the abolition of slavery, reform of child labor laws, and

By Rob Brezsny

more democracy in the nation’s electoral process. But most people today know nothing of those triumphs. Rather, he is immortalized for the Earl Grey tea that he made popular. I suspect that in the coming weeks, one of your fine efforts may also get less attention than a more modest success. But don’t worry about it. Instead, be content with congratulating yourself for your excellent work. I think that’s the key to you ultimately getting proper appreciation for your bigger accomplishment.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) At

a young age, budding Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath came to a tough realization: “I can never read all the books I want,” she wrote in her journal. “I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.” Judging by current astrological omens, I can imagine you saying something like that right now. I bet your longing for total immersion in life’s pleasures is especially intense and a bit frustrated. But I’m pleased to predict that in the next four weeks, you’ll be able to live and feel more shades, tones, and variations of experience than you have in a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

When Europeans invaded and occupied North America, they displaced many indigenous people from their ancestral lands. There were a few notable exceptions, including five tribes in what’s now Maine and Eastern Canada. They are known as the Wabanaki confederacy: the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Micmac, Maliseet and Abenaki. Although they had to adjust to and compromise with colonialism, they were never defeated by it. I propose we make them your heroic symbols for the coming weeks. May their resilient determination to remain connected to their roots and origins motivate you to draw ever-fresh power from your own roots and origins.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19)

Capricorn javelin thrower Julius Yego won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. How did he get so skilled? He gained preliminary proficiency while competing for his high school team, but after graduation, he was too poor to keep developing his mastery. So he turned to YouTube, where he studied videos by great javelin throwers. Now that you’re in an intense learning phase, Capricorn, I suggest that you, too, be ready to draw on sources that may be unexpected or unusual or alternative.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) The first edition of Action Comics, which launched the story of the fictional character Superman, cost 10 cents in 1938. Nowadays it’s worth $3 million. I’ll make a bold prediction that you, too, will be worth considerably more on Dec. 31, 2019 than you are right now. The increase won’t be as dramatic as that of the Superman comic, but still: I expect a significant boost. And what you do in the next four weeks could have a lot to do with making my prediction come true. PISCES (February 19–March 20) Until the

16th century in much of Europe and the 18th century in Britain, the new year was celebrated in March. That made sense given the fact that the weather was growing noticeably warmer and it was time to plant the crops again. In my astrological opinion, the month of March is still the best time of year for you Pisceans to observe your personal new year. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to start fresh in any area of your life. If you formulate a set of New Year’s resolutions, you’re more likely to remain committed to them than if you had made them on Jan. 1.
