Track Records

Dear editor, Enlightened Sun readers care more than most about the future of our beautiful area and the worldat-large. We might at some point turn our attention toward San Francisco’s mounting and staggering pension liability, and hope like hell the problem doesn’t creep northward across the bridge.

No matter what your views [are] on the role of government in the lives of tax-paying citizens, the number one priority for elected officials should be to manage our money well. The track records of these fine people over the years, be they Republican or Democrat, have been really, really shitty.

You know exactly what I am talking about. The Republican

buffoon they put in the White House isn’t going to be any better than average, either. He sure as hell doesn’t care about our money. He cares about his.

If we care about our kids and their kids, we will become much better informed about how this issue affects our local communities and the levels of service we expect to receive from public agencies, because pension liabilities, including those involving people we care deeply about, such as police officers, firefighters and teachers, will crowd out vital services unless we change the rules.

And when we investigate the problem locally, we are not going to be happy with what we learn, because in some cases we are paying more money to people who used to work for us than we are paying to those who work for us now. Let that one rattle around under your hat for a few minutes and see how you feel about it.

—Craig J. Corsini

The commercial salmon season, predicted to be the worst ever this year, opened this week.

Fish or Cut Bait

California fishermen left waiting for federal relief By Tom Gogola

N

orth Coast congressman Jared Huffman joined a group of fishermen at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco on Monday to commemorate the opening of the commercial salmon season in regional waters, and to call out the federal administration and Congress for their ongoing refusal to release disaster-relief funds to crabbers and fishermen hard-hit by

closures and the near collapse of the California salmon fishery.

Those fishermen, says Huffman in a statement, “have faced several seasons of economic hardship, including closures, delays and a continued lack of much-needed disaster funding from the federal government.”

Meanwhile, the 2017 salmon season is predicted to be the worst ever, as state officials took drastic steps this year to give the Chinook salmon that

comprise the bulk of commercial landings a fighting chance.

In April, the California Fish and Game Commission reported “historically low numbers of fall-run and winter-run Chinook salmon,” which prompted the agency to limit or close the fishery through the end of the year.

Huffman, D-San Rafael, the ranking Democrat on the congressional Water, Power and Oceans Subcommittee, noted that

the previous Congress sought $140 million to help fishermen affected by the Dungeness crab closure last year and historically low salmon yields in recent years. The House recently voted to provide $20 million in disaster assistance, while a failed Senate proposal, offered by coastal Democrats, would have sent $150 million to West Coast fishers.

“A federal fishery disaster was declared for the shuttered 2016 Klamath River salmon fishery,”

’

Huffman notes in a statement, “as well as for the 2015–2016 California Dungeness and rock crab fishery, but Congress has failed to deliver the disaster funding to date.”

The ongoing failure of the GOP-led Congress to sign off on the disaster monies has raised the specter of a politicized administration and Congress putting the screws to blue-state California’s blue-collar fishermen.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross weighed in on fisheries management on behalf of the commercial industry in New Jersey, where Trump enjoys the support of fellow Republican Gov. Chris Christie—but has been silent on the plight of California fishermen.

Noah Oppenheim, executive director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, a statewide group, raised the political alarm on the disaster funds months ago when a $1 trillion federal budget released by the White House contained zero dollars to help California fishermen.

It’s a $300 million to $350 million problem for California, in terms of overall economic impacts, he says, adding that he’s hopeful that the tone in Congress has shifted on the disaster declaration, and “there is a path forward in the coming months in a sort of broader Western-disaster appropriations bill.” Even as the Senate knocked back the Democrats’ push for a $150 million appropriation, he says the tone has shifted and that at least one key Republican has signaled a commitment to find a

—Wilbur Ross way to help the fishermen.

Oppenheim organized the Huffman press conference on Monday and says of the impacted workers, “Right now, California salmon fishermen and crab fishermen are the blue-collar, working-class industry on the coast of California. They are the coal miners of California.”

The disaster aid was approved under the Obama administration’s Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. The current administration has made no effort to conceal its zeal to rollback any and all Obama-era regulatory achievements.

Instead, it appears that thousands of commercial fishermen in California are being left to twist in the wind of a mendacious administration and a commerce secretary who have demonstrated a willingness to politicize fishery regulations.

Fisheries experts across the country expressed dismay at Ross’ recent intervention on a decision made by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, which oversees fishery management for states from New York to Delaware. That council was one of eight regional councils established under the landmark federal Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, which empowers and authorizes regions to create cross-state fisheries councils to sort out regulations and fishing seasons in their respective waters. In June, the billionaire Ross weighed in on an ongoing battle in New Jersey over regulations guiding »8 the summer flounder season.

Given the enormity of our coastlines, given the enormity of our freshwater, I would like to try to figure out how we can become much more self-sufficient in fishing and perhaps even a net exporter.

The council, comprised of fishermen, fisheries experts and state officials, had ruled that New Jersey was out of compliance with regional regulations designed to protect the popular summer flounder fishery. State officials disagreed with the council’s ruling, but Ross dismissed the recommendations of the council and said the state could set its own size limits for the summer flounder.

Ross’ move—the first time a commerce secretary had acted to overrule a regional council since they were created in 1993—had a direct benefit to a fleet of New Jersey recreational open boats (and recreational fishers generally) who have balked for years at the council’s across-the-board bagand-size limits. Ross also lowered allowable size limits of the summer flounder for the state’s commercial fleet of draggers.

According to the Pacific Fishery Management Council, which sets the regulations for California, Oregon and Washington, that’s the exact opposite of how the process is designed to work.

“The council process is a bottom-up process,” the regional council says, and that its mandate is to “emphasiz[e] public participation and involvement in fisheries management. Public input is encouraged and appreciated.

Management measure[s] developed by the Council are recommended to the Secretary of Commerce through the National Marine Fisheries Service.”

Ross has put special attention to fisheries management in his short time as commerce secretary.

At his confirmation hearing in January, he spoke of an industry in need of a boost in order to maximize production: “Given the enormity of our coastlines, given the enormity of our freshwater, I would like to try to figure out how we can become much more self-sufficient in fishing and perhaps even a net exporter.” Once he was confirmed, Ross issued a statement that put fisheries management in his top 10 priorities as agency head, as he stressed the importance of drawing the “maximum sustainable yield” from American waters.

The United States imports some 85 percent of all seafood consumed in the country. And yet it’s hard to see how the country could become

a net exporter when the federal government won’t pay out disaster funds to the very individuals whose job it is to harvest the salmon and the crabs. By contrast, at the time of the federal disaster declaration for salmon in 2015, an official from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) highlighted the agency’s commitment to sustainable fisheries and the workers who harvest the fish (NOAA is a sub-agency of the Department of Commerce).

“The Commerce Department and NOAA stand with America's fishing communities,” wrote Samuel D. Rauch III, a deputy assistant administrator for regulatory programs at NOAA. “We are proud of the contributions they make to the nation's economy, and we recognize the sacrifices they are forced to take in times of environmental hardship. We are committed to helping these communities recover and achieve success in the future.”

That commitment does not appear to be fully embraced by the Trump regime.

Ross is also overseeing an agency now reexamining a number of federal marine sanctuary and national monument set-asides enacted under Obama, including underwater land that was added to the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary and Farallon Islands in 2015. Those popular set-asides are now under review by the Department of Commerce under an executive order called the America-First Offshore Energy Strategy. The Ross-ordered review is supported by energy and commercial fishing interests.

Obama expanded off-limits areas where fishing is prohibited in fragile offshore ecosystems. But nobody is arguing that opening these grounds to fishing or offshore drilling will save the California salmon fishery from collapse, or prevent another season-killing outbreak of domoic acid in the state’s Dungeness crabs.

A domoic acid outbreak devastated the fishery in 2015, and every indication is that the salmon season this year is going to be a bust. It started 10 weeks later than usual, says Oppenheim, “and all signs point to a severely diminished catch compared to previous seasons.”Y

Those seeking unique vintage clothing will find one-of-a-kind pieces—personally selected from trips to faraway destinations—at Sausalito’s new Baba Yaga boutique.

Baba Yaga offers curated vintage, indie designer picks and more

By Flora Tsapovsky

M

other-daughter businesses aren’t hard to come by these days, as women embark on second or third careers and join forces with their creative, entrepreneurial fresh-out-of-college offspring. More often than not, such endeavors are larger than the sums of their parts—experience, risk-taking, social media skills and people skills all mix perfectly. In Sausalito, this successful business

model led to a colorful, unique vintage store celebrating textures, off beat styles and individuality. The mother and daughter in question are Lisa and Paloma Tenorio, the duo behind Baba Yaga, which opened downtown in April.

The two bring their own distinct aesthetics and a joint love of standout pieces to the welcoming space. Lisa grew up in late-’60s Los Angeles, and experienced what she calls “a kind of a hippy childhood.”

“My mom used to sew my clothes and I hated that the fabrics were itchy, and the clothes always felt too tight in the wrong places,” she says.

“From a very early age I was really particular about textiles and the style and fit of clothes.”

During high school, Lisa started working in retail and after high school, in the ’80s, got a job managing a high-end clothing boutique in L.A. called Ecru. “A lot of celebrities shopped there and

I really got an education in high fashion,” she says. “That was when the dream of opening my own store really started.”

Paloma, on the other hand, was born in Berkeley and lived in Point Richmond, then in Montreal, and then back in California, landing in Marin County.

“During my sophomore year of high school, my mom and I decided to start an online vintage clothing store called Strange »10

The clothing at Baba Yaga is presented in unisex style—it’s not separated by gender, which is something that co-owner Paloma Tenorio is very proud of.

Baby,” Paloma says. “At that time, we began to source and curate vintage, and by working alongside my mom I was able to learn a tremendous amount.”

After graduating from high school, Paloma went to spend a year in Seattle, and when she returned, the time for a brick-and-mortar business was finally ripe.

“I started keeping my eye out for retail spaces that could work, and then, in February the spot at 510 Caledonia Street became available and it was a space that I had had my eye on for awhile so it felt like it was meant to be,” says Lisa, who by then was, and still is, working full-time in tech.

The store’s name has a meantto-be factor to it as well: “Baba Yaga is a witch from Russian folklore who lives in a house with chicken feet and rides around in a mortar and pestle,” Lisa, from

Russian heritage, continues. “My mom used to read me this fairy tale when I was little because it was her favorite story as a kid.”

Looking for a store name to convey powerful femininity, Lisa went back to the mythical character, upon her mom’s (Paloma’s grandmother’s) suggestion. “I love the imagery the name conjures up and like that my mom has a personal connection to it.”

The roles are divided pretty equally: Paloma takes on a management role for the store, opening and closing six days a week. They also handle Baba Yaga’s Instagram account. Lisa does most of the buying, although the two take buying trips together as well. She’s also responsible for the store’s look and feel, along with the website. A sewing machine is tucked away, ready for Paloma’s repairs and upcycling projects.

This pioneering approach is not the only innovation that Baba Yaga brings to Sausalito. “In Marin County, there are mostly consignment- and donationbased thrift stores,” Paloma says.

“At Baba Yaga, we take the work out of scouring for vintage and provide a boutique experience with beautifully curated, unique vintage pieces for our customers to look through. We do repairs in store and wash and dry clean all inventory we take in.”

In Lisa’s eyes, the store is “the only true vintage shop in Marin.”

Customers occasionally walk in assuming that Baba Yaga is yet another consignment store and are ready to offer their clothes, only to get a polite explanation. The vintage vibe, along with meticulous window displays that change on a weekly basis, is slowly catching on.

“Some customers definitely do get what we’re doing right away,” Lisa says. “A few customers have told us they’ve made a commitment to only buy vintage for environmental reasons and there are definitely quite a few vintage lovers out there already.”

“There’s been a lot of excitement from our customers since we’ve opened,” Paloma adds. “I’ve been told that we add extra flavor to the neighborhood, which makes me feel really proud. I’m excited to grow our customer base and meet more people from around Marin!”

As the year moves forward, the mother-daughter team hopes to make Baba Yaga a destination for vintage pilgrimages.

“We really want to connect with our customers and understand what they are looking for so we can better tailor our inventory,” Lisa says. “ In general, I hope that Baba Yaga can inspire more people to wear and appreciate vintage and experiment with their fashion to find their own unique style.”

Paloma has even bigger plans.

“We’ve been discussing hosting events in our space as well, and I would love to connect with more artists and young people in our area,” they add. “Furthermore, as a fashion student, I’d love to eventually create a line of my own for the store.”

In the store, you’ll find pieces that Lisa has curated while visiting antique fairs and sales, online stores and vintage shopping stops around the country, and finds that reflect the pair’s passions and sartorial sensibilities.

“Our styles are pretty different, although there is some overlap,” Lisa says. “Paloma is more attracted to ’80s pieces—bright poppy colors, boxy shapes, androgynous looks. I am more attracted to the ’70s and international pieces. We both love jumpsuits though.”

According to Lisa, the difference between theirs and other vintage stores is the fact that they personally select every piece. “I look for simple shapes and good basics as well as those iconic or graphic pieces that could be paired with more simple neutrals,” she says. “I love dramatic maxi skirts paired with a simple T-shirt, for example.

“I found some cool vintage when I was in Vietnam in January and when Paloma and I were in Japan we did a lot of vintage shopping,” Lisa says. There are also newer pieces. For those, “we tend to focus on unisex pieces—simple jumpsuits or knitwear that can be worn by anyone. I try to look for international designers or small indie designers that are not carried in other stores on the West Coast.”

In addition to the brick-andmortar Baba Yaga, there’s an online store, where offerings are divided into exciting categories like ‘mystic modernist’ and ‘summer of love.’

“I love taking photographs of real people in the clothes,” Lisa says of her sales method. “I feel like it’s easier to imagine how you might wear something when you see it on a real person or see the item styled.

We’ve had a lot of our friends and family model for us so far and I love having models of all different ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds and body types. Even my mom has modeled for us!”

Along with the highly personalized approach, something Paloma is especially proud of is the fact that the store “doesn’t separate pieces into men’s and women’s sections. I think all clothing is unisex and I want to encourage people to experiment and mix pieces in their own unique way,” says Paloma, who call themselves ‘gender neutral.’ “Being able to provide this kind of shopping experience is important to me and hopefully it is to others as well.”

Key Tea unveils café inside Open Secret

By Tanya Henry

L

ast March when I wrote about Cristian See Ellauri and his Key Tea Cart at the Fairfax Farmers’ Market, I noted, “One day, he hopes to unite all of his interests and have a space where folks can perform, create art, and of course, drink tea.”

On Earth Day (April 22), that hope became a reality. Ellauri teamed up with Robert Calef, the longtime owner (27 years) of Open Secret Bookstore, and revived and renovated the café space within the store that was most recently Radiance Cuisine.

And, just as Ellauri had envisioned, the space has become much more than simply a café.

“We really needed a place to land at night in San Rafael—where the community could come together,” says Ellauri, who has a theater background and revels in his open mic/master of ceremonies role.

So much so that a cabaret night, featuring satirical comedy, poetry, acrobatics a drum band and dance,

is planned for the café’s upcoming grand opening on Saturday, August 5.

There’s a lot to see in the 22,000-square-foot space—and it begins at the door. Key Tea commissioned San Francisco artist Rob Bell to build a ZOME (a structure using unusual geometries) for the entrance of the teahouse.

The ZOME provides an intimate seating area, and has recently been adorned with haiku poetry.

Continuing with his theme of “Unlocking Plant Love,” Ellauri offers cold and hot teas that are made with locally sourced plants and herbs.

Whether you’re looking to sip an afternoon cup of tea, buy a Tibetan wall hanging or hear a sitar player from India, it’s likely that you’ll find it all at San Rafael’s newest community-building café.Y Key Tea, 921 C St., San Rafael; grand opening, Sat., Aug. 5, noon10pm, cabaret performance 8-10pm; 808/428-3233; keyteacart.com.

Golden Menorahs San Francisco Jewish Film Fest comes to Marin By Mal Karman

T

here aren’t many film festivals that have made it to 37 years and, presuming that wisdom really does come with age, we can assure you that the folks at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival—the world’s oldest and largest of its kind—know what they’re doing.

We Marinites don’t even have to go to the festival—which has been running in San Francisco since July 20—because it comes to us on Friday, August 4, through Sunday, Aug. 6 at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael. So those who turn ghost-white at the prospect of crossing the Golden Gate Bridge on a weekend evening need not even invest in a bottle of Maalox.

With that in mind, we’re set to direct you to the following films that won over our version of the Academy Awards—the Golden Menorahs. For those of us who envision a peaceful two-state solution in the Middle East, check in on The 90 Minute War, a clever mockumentary that satirizes

the intractability of both sides at the negotiating table. Somewhere off in the future, the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority have given up talking and agree to settle their differences with one single soccer match. Winner takes all. The loser packs up and moves on. But be aware that the scenes that make us laugh in this dark satire are the same ones that break our hearts in real life; Aug. 5, 12:05pm.

A modern retelling of the biblical story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar unfolds in Harmonia, with Abraham as the conductor of the Jerusalem Philharmonic Orchestra, Sarah as the first harp and Hagar as the third French horn. Music plays beneath each character in such a way that it describes who they are and what they feel. For example, the second movement from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 is indicative of Hagar’s solemn nature.

There is a tension that builds between Abraham and Hagar that is puzzling and evocative of

something dark. We almost expect that—with no warning and without reason—he is capable of exploding and slapping her. But when it seems that Sarah cannot have children, she suggests to Abraham that he take Hagar to conceive a child, eventually named Ismail. We thought we knew the ending to this piece, given its biblical roots, but we were wrong and that’s what makes Harmonia special; Aug.6, noon.

Internationally known director Andrei Konchalovsky’s brutal World War II drama of how people deceived themselves and others under Nazi rule and the consequences they paid for their deception forms the heart and bones of Paradise. Although it takes some time to get there, the film focuses on the unlikely resurrection of a fleeting relationship between a countess (now a concentration camp inmate for harboring two Jewish children) and an uber-proud German soldier (now an SS officer running the camp).

‘Fanny’s Journey,’ starring the young Léonie Souchaud, is one of 14 films from the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival that will screen in Marin this weekend.

two come together, the contrast between Nazi oppressor and victim is unnervingly loud, resulting in each of them finding their way to a personal paradise—or is it a private hell? Aug. 4, 3:50pm.

Another gut-wrenching drama comes from writer/director Sam Garbarski whose Bye Bye Germany focuses on the immediate aftermath of the war and how David Berman, a Nazi concentration camp inmate, played with adept slipperiness by Moritz Bleibtreu (Manni in Run Lola Run), happened to obtain so many privileges for himself. As a result, he can’t get a license to peddle French linens and survive. While saddled with this horribly translated title, which inevitably evokes images of Jesse Pearson and Ann-Margret in Bye Bye Birdie, the film (based mostly on coscreenwriter Michel Bergmann’s debut novel The Traveling Salesmen, inspired by his own family history), evokes the reality of displaced people struggling to find a home, not far from the images we see today on the nightly news. In this case, however, Berman has some sneaky tricks up his somehow-ironed sleeve; Aug. 6, 6:20pm.

We had little hope that Bombshell would be more than just another history of a once-famous actress whose star came and went, but this fascinating documentary surpassed our hopes, peeling off the layers (and we don’t mean clothing) of who Hedy Lamarr really was. “Actress” may actually have been at the bottom of Lamarr’s list. Along with George Antheil, she invented spread spectrum technology, a system to manipulate radio frequencies at irregular intervals that would prevent messages from being intercepted by Germany and its allies. It could also be used to override German attempts to jam signals directing torpedoes at their U-boats.

In 1942, the Navy soundly rejected Antheil and Lamarr’s patented invention, but adopted it 20 years later during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Lamarr’s son, Anthony Loder, says that his mother would have gladly given up Hollywood to further a career as an inventor. She was known in the ’40s as the most beautiful woman in the world, but Loder says, “She wanted to do something important.” Aug. 6, 4:15pm.

In almost all of the screenings on the full program, it would be hard to find a single (sour) pickle of a movie. Go for yourself and you’ll see what we mean.Y

Native Sons, of Napa, built its own recording studio and used connections to hire producers Chris Garcia (Adele), Shawn Harris (The Matches) and Jason Carmer (Kimya Dawson).

MUSIC

Pop Scene Napa duo Native Sons dials it in

By Charlie Swanson

B

oth born and raised in Napa, Thomas Fine and Justin Altamura have been musically attached at the hip since Fine gave Altamura his first guitar lesson. Together, the pair has toured nationally in rock band The Iron Heart, and now they’re taking a new musical direction in electro-pop outfit Native Sons, starting with a debut release, Super American, out on Friday, August 4.

As performers, Altamura and Fine got their first taste of the big stage in 2013, when the folks behind the original incarnation of BottleRock music festival approached them two weeks before the event and asked if they could fill a spot in the lineup. Though they didn’t exactly have a band at the time, they agreed, feverishly wrote seven rock songs under the name The Iron Heart and opened the inaugural festival.

“I had to go to a psychiatrist,” Fine jokes. “ I basically blacked out, but we got through it.”

From that first set, The Iron Heart became a touring act for three years, though all the while Fine and Altamura tinkered with making synth-heavy pop like the music they grew up on. “That kind of sound was always in us,” Fine says.

In 2016, Fine and Altamura put The Iron Heart on hiatus to focus on electronic exploits under the name Native Sons. “We sat down and said let’s push this thing forward, work with the best people, and make it the best we can,” Altamura says. Sonically, Super American is a sophisticated blend of pop, dance, rock and new wave in the vein of M83 and Phil Collins.

With eyes on touring extensively, Native Sons still sees itself as local.

“We have a love and appreciation of the scene,” Fine says. “Napa keeps calling us back; this is our home.

We would love to contribute to the place that’s nearest to our hearts.”Y ‘Super American’ is available Aug. 4 on ntvsns.com and all major streaming and download services.

Kathryn Bigelow’s startlingly intense film ‘Detroit’ dramatizes the riots that took place in the Motor City in the late ’60s.

FILM

Civil Unrest

‘Detroit’ captures a city being torn apart

By Richard von Busack

B

oth commemorative and zeitgeist-filled, Detroit is the angriest movie that Kathryn Bigelow has ever made. While deserving the praise The Hurt Locker got, it reverses Zero Dark Thirty’s coziness with “enhanced interrogation.”

An animated sequence describes the black diaspora to the north that made Detroit what it was by 1967—a company town with strictly-delineated AfricanAmerican ghettos, patrolled by a 90 percent white police force.

We meet a main character, Dismukes ( John Boyega) who is about to start his 17th hour of work, since he moonlights as a security guard; no matter what he looks like, he’s unable to stop the trouble he witnesses.

Meanwhile Larry (Algee Smith) and Fred ( Jacob Latimore) of the real-life band The Dramatics meet backstage for a big show at the Fox Theater—The Supremes (or

a lookalike group) are opening for them, or would be if the show wasn’t cancelled.

What happens is like a long home invasion. Will Poulter plays Krauss, the inept patrolman in charge, a fictional composite. Detroit gets caught up in its ordeal of beating, mock executions and ultimate murder—at half the length, it would have had twice the power.

Bigelow’s emphasis on conflict over everything is what made Aliens the most gung-ho movie about the Marines since Raoul Walsh died.

But this is one of her best films, and an ornament to this year’s cinema, as exciting a year as we’ve had in ages. Detroit matches Get Out in intent, the Ferguson, Missouri documentary Whose Streets? and Justin Chon’s drama Gook about the 1992 L.A. riots.

She balances her startling force with sensitivity and sensuality. Give Bigelow credit—this certainly isn’t an anti-rebellion movie.Y

Q:

My otherwise wonderful husband always leaves his wet towel on the bed (on my side!). I’ve asked him to stop doing this countless times, but I don’t think he’s being passive-aggressive or anything. I think he just spaces out after showering. How can I get him to remember?—Soggy

A:

It’s good for a man to have goals, though ideally not one that involves growing a fern out of your comforter.

As you appear to understand, the problem isn’t ill will; it’s “I, Robot.” The first time your husband wondered, “Where do I put this wet towel?”—perhaps at age 10—his brain said, “Easy peasy … just drop it right there on the bed.” Sadly, it seems that his superhero bedspread didn’t pipe up: “Superman’s got a ton to do today, and flying your wet towel over to the hamper is not on his agenda.”

Our brain is an efficiency expert. Figuring things out the first time around takes a bunch of energy. But, as neuroscientist Donald Hebb pointed out, as you do an action over and over, your brain goes, “Oh, that again.” The trigger for the action—in this case, approaching the bed—becomes automatic. Automatic means that there’s no stopping to muse, “Wait! I have a wife now, and she’s threatening to Saran Wrap the bed.”

This automation thing—with thinking removed from the equation—is the reason that nagging or even asking nicely before or after the fact is so often useless in changing behavior. You need to break into the automatic sequence as it’s in progress.

Interrupting the trigger sequence allows you to send a yoo-hoo to areas of his prefrontal cortex, the brain’s department of rational thought—asking them to kindly wake the hell up and take over from the basal ganglia and other parts of the brain’s department of automation.

No, I’m not suggesting that you stand guard by the bed like one of those decorative architectural lions, waiting for wet towel time. And hiring one of those street-corner sign spinners would probably be both impractical and a little creepy.

To grab your husband’s attention in a positive way, I suggest collecting cartoons and leaving one marked “Towel alert! xo” on the area of the bed that he turns into terrycloth swampland. The cartoon should break him out of his auto-daze, reminding him to return the wet towel to its ancestral home, Ye Olde Towel Rack.

Q:

I’m a novelist who’s suddenly getting successful (after 20 years of crappy jobs and rejected manuscripts). Every day, several people make this annoying and rather insulting comment to me: “Don’t forget about me when you’re famous!” This got me wondering: What keeps some people grounded while others let success go to their head?—Published

A:

Of course you’ll stay in touch with your old friends. You’ll have your assistant call them to see whether they’d like to come over and clean out your rain gutters.

The quality that keeps success from turning you into, well, Kanye East is humility. People confuse humility—being humble—with being humiliated.

However, humility is basically a healthy awareness of your limitations—what social psychologist and humility researcher Pelin Kesebir describes as “a down-toearth perspective of yourself in relation to all other beings.”

That’s something you’re more likely to have when you make it at 40—after 20 years of working crappy jobs, driving a car held together with duct tape and hope, and selling your blood to buy a tuna melt. Contrast that with hitting it big at 17: “Bro, I was just on my hoverboard at the mall, and some dude handed me a recording contract!”

The cool thing is, social psychologist Elliott Kruse and his colleagues find that you can bolster humility by expressing gratitude—appreciation for how another person has helped you. Expressing gratitude both “inhibits internal focus” and “promotes external focus”—focus on others. This sort of wider view may help you keep any fame you get in perspective. After all, there’s a way to live on in the hearts and minds of many, even after you die, and it’s by creating brilliant, spiritmoving art—or by being a chinchilla videotaped while eating a Dorito.Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

Astrology

For the week of August 2

ARIES (March 21–April 19): In my astrological opinion, your life in the coming days should draw inspiration from the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia, a six-day bout of revelry that encouraged everyone to indulge in pleasure, speak freely and give gifts. Your imminent future could (and I believe should) also have resemblances to the yearly Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena, which features a farcical cavalcade of lunatics, like the Shopping Cart Drill Team, the Radioactive Chicken Heads, the Army of Toy Soldiers and the Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap Team. In other words, Aries, it’s an excellent time to set aside your dignity and put an emphasis on having uninhibited fun; to amuse yourself to the max as you experiment on the frontiers of self-expression; to be the person you would be if you had nothing to lose.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): It’s time to

Reinvent the Wheel and Rediscover Fire, Taurus.

In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wasting your time unless you return to the root of all of your Big Questions. Every important task will mandate you to consult your heart’s primal intelligence. So don’t mess around with trivial pleasures or transitory frustrations that won’t mean anything to you a year from now. Be a mature wild child in service to the core of your creative powers.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20): Writing in The Futurist magazine, Christopher Wolf says that the tradition of eating three hearty meals per day is fading and will eventually disappear. “Grazing” will be the operative term for how we get our fill, similar to the method used by cavemen and cavewomen. The first snack after we awaken, Wolf suggests, might be called “daystart.” The ensuing four could be dubbed “pulsebreak,” “humpmunch,” “holdmeal” and “evesnack.” In light of your current astrological omens, Gemini, I endorse a comparable approach to everything you do: Not a few big doses, but rather frequent smaller doses; not intense cramming but casual browsing; not sprawling heroic epics but a series of amusing short stories.

CANCER (June 21–July 22): RIKEN, a research institute in Japan, experiments with using ion beams to enhance plant growth. In one notable case, they created a new breed of cherry tree that blossoms four times a year and produces triple the amount of flowers. The blooms last longer, too, and the trees thrive under a wider span of temperatures.

In the next 11 months, Cancerian, you won’t need to be flooded with ion beams to experience a similar phenomenon. I expect that your power to bloom and flourish will be far stronger than usual.

LEO (July 23–August 22): Leo actor Robert De

Niro once observed that most people devote more energy to concealing their emotions and longings than to revealing them. Is that true about you? If so, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to hide less of yourself and express more. There’ll be relatively little hell to pay as a result, and you’ll get a boost of vitality. Don’t go overboard, though. I’m not suggesting that you unveil every last one of your feelings and yearnings to everyone—just to those you trust. Most importantly, I hope you will unveil all of your feelings and yearnings to yourself.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22): It has almost become a tradition: Each year at about this time, you seem to enjoy scaring the hell out of yourself, and often the heaven, too. These selfinflicted shocks have often had a beneficial side effect. They have served as rousing prompts for you to re-imagine the future. They have motivated and mobilized you. So yes, there has been an apparent method in your madness—an upside to the uproar.

What should we expect this time, my dear? A field trip to a crack house or a meth lab? Some fun and games in a pit of snakes? An excursion to the land of bad memories? I suggest something less melodramatic. How about, for example, a frolic with unruly allies in a future paradise that’s still a bit unorganized?

LIBRA (September 23–October 22): Before grapes become wine, they have to be cleaned. Then crushed. Then macerated and pressed. The next phase is fermentation, followed by filtering. The aging process, which brings the grapes’ transformation to completion, requires more time than the other steps.

At the end, there’s one more stage: Putting the wine in bottles. I’d like to compare the grapes’ evolution to the story of your life since your last birthday. You are nearing the end of the aging phase. When that’s finished, I hope you put great care into the bottling.

It’s as important as the other steps.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21):

Are you gearing up to promote yourself and your services? In my astrological opinion, you should be.

If so, you could put the following testimonial from me in your résumé or advertisement: “[Place your name here] is a poised overseer of nerve-wracking transitions and a canny scout who is skilled at tracking down scarce resources. He/she can help you acquire the information and enhancements you don’t quite have the power to get by yourself.

When conditions are murky or perplexing, this plucky soul is enterprising and inventive.”

SAGITTARIUS (November 22– December 21): Your eyes are more powerful than you realize. If you were standing on a mountaintop under a cloudless night sky with no moon, you could see a fire burning 50 miles away. Your imagination is also capable of feats that might surprise you. It can, for example, provide you with an expansive and objective view of your entire life history. I advise you to seek that boost now. Ask your imagination to give you a prolonged look at the big picture of where you have been and where you are going. I think it’s essential to your discovery of the key to the next chapter of your life story.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19): Love is your gritty but sacred duty. It’s your prickly prod and your expansive riddle, your curious joy and your demanding teacher. I’m talking about the whole gamut, Capricorn—from messy personal romantic love to lucid unconditional spiritual love; from asking smartly for what you desire to gratefully giving more than you thought you had. Can you handle this much sweet, dark mystery? Can you grow your intimacy skills fast enough to keep up with the interesting challenges? I think you can.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18): There’s an eclipse of the moon coming up in the sign of Aquarius. Will it bring bad luck or good luck? Ha! That’s a trick question. I threw it in to see if you have been learning anything from my efforts to redeem astrology’s reputation. Although some misinformed people regard my chosen field as a superstitious pseudo-science, I say it’s an imaginative art form that helps us identify and transform our subconscious patterns. So the wise answer to my earlier question is that the imminent lunar eclipse is neither bad luck nor good luck.

Rather, it tells you that you have more power than usual to: (1) tame and manage the disruptive and destructive aspects of your instinctual nature; (2) make progress in dissolving your old conditioning; and (3) become more skilled at mothering yourself.

PISCES (February 19–March 20): August

is Good Hard Labor Month for you Pisceans. It’s one of those rare times when a smart version of workaholic behavior might actually make sense.

Why? First of all, it could ultimately lead to a pay raise or new perks. Secondly, it may bring to light certain truths about your job that you’ve been unconscious of. Third, it could awaken you to the fact that you haven’t been trying as hard as you could to fulfill one of your long-term dreams; it might expand your capacity to devote yourself passionately to the epic tasks that matter most.Y

For your homework, please meditate on this thought: Summoning your peak effort in the little things will mobilize your peak effort for the Big Thing.
