In Response to‘Eternity 2.0’[July 26] Die? Never!

Johnson awoke to a faint mewling in his head. He could not move.

“Never mind the noise, that’s just the brain bots clearing out the cobwebs,” said the robot with the lab coat. “We’ll get your body turned on in a moment. It’s been more than 100 years since you were ‘Boxed Up.’ A lot has changed, as you can imagine. Your physical brain has been transferred to a digital storage facility.

It has been mated to a robot body, which lasts a very long time. You no longer need food, water, air or sleep.

You have no sex organs, but there is an app for orgasms that you can use once a week. Due to present circumstances having to do with the Great Disaster, you have been assigned the job of unobtanium miner. It can be a bit claustrophobic a mile under the surface, but we have tweaks for any psychological problems that may arise.

It’s a little strange having your body controlled by the Big Machine, but you do have freedom of thought. Welcome to the Singularity Correctional Facility, Mars Colony.”

Cris Gebhardt

Matthew Elias (in window) and Laine Ayre ( far left) worked together at Saltwater Oyster Depot in Inverness before teaming up to run The Bodega, a popular roving food truck.

Truck Stop

The Bodega food truck pairs high-quality eats with the freedom to travel

By David Templeton

‘‘ Y

ou have to climb over the seat to get in … watch out for the steering wheel!”

So suggests a smiling Laine Ayre, who watches carefully as a visitor non-gracefully clambers aboard the cozy, culinary interior of The Bodega. Painted a vivid aquamarine on the outside, every square inch crammed with cooking supplies and fresh food on the inside, this roving restaurant on wheels would seem like just another food truck—except for the unusually large crowd of hungry

people out front, waiting to order some crisp and crunchy California street food.

With San Anselmo resident Ayre handling the business/hospitality side of things, and Sebastopol-based chef Matthew Elias—formerly of Saltwater Oyster Depot in Inverness—skillfully working the grills and ovens, The Bodega, in just a few short months, has become one of the hottest new food trucks in the North Bay. Elias acquired the 22-year-old truck several months ago from a San Francisco chef who’d used it

to serve up a menu of PeruvianChinese Cuisine. With Ayre on board as a business partner, Elias dubbed the food truck The Bodega, and paid for its initial renovations with a GoFundMe campaign.

“Restaurants are just so expensive to open these days,” Elias says. “That’s why so many really good chefs are getting into the food truck business. I want to feed people good food. The easiest way to do that, without a ton of capital on my end, is a food truck.”

The mobility of a truck allows Elias to offer different kinds of

experiences, depending on where he parks it and what type of event he parks it at.

“With a food truck, I can go anywhere,” he says.

Asked what expansion looks like to a food truck owner, Elias admits that the two obvious pathways, should business keep going as well as it has, are to either add more trucks, eventually, or trade them in for a brick-and-mortar operation.

Eventually.

“Another truck would be interesting,” he says. “Maybe someday, down the road, with a

the farm. So I know firsthand the quality of the food I’m serving my customers.”

Asked to define California street food, Elias laughs.

“California street food is fun food,” he says. “Like tonight, we’re doing wings, a barroom staple, but made with fresh Petaluma chicken, with an interesting sauce made with garlic grown by a friend in Marin. It’s basically bar food, truck stop food, but made with better products than you’d probably find in most bars and truck stops.”

“The menu changes every day, which is important,” Ayre adds.

“The way I explain it to people is to tell them that we originally met at Saltwater, in Marin, where we were both working. He was the chef, I was front-of-house

brick-and-mortar place at the end of the journey, in a couple of years.

That would be great, but I think I’d like to just rock this food truck for a while, and not even think about those other possibilities.”

One of Elias’ driving inspirations is the growing demand that restaurants—or food trucks— serve extremely fresh food, preferably acquired directly from the people who grew or raised it, mandatorily sourced right here in the North Bay. “We go to the farmers’ market, we see what our friends are growing, and then we figure out what the tastiest things are we can do with it,” he explains. “The guy we get our pork and beef from owns his own farm, I’ve known him forever, and even worked on

The Bodega’s ever-changing menu consistently features the signature fried organic chicken sandwich, complete with a house pickle.

Cris Gebhardt

Chef Matthew Elias has working relationships with local farm owners, and prides himself on firsthand knowledge of the quality of the food that he prepares.

manager, and we knew we worked well together. Our goal with The Bodega is to serve food of that quality, on compostable, ecofriendly plates, for a fraction of the price. Out of a truck.”

Today’s menu, for example, in addition to the wings, includes griddled delta asparagus, oysters on the half-shell, a beet hummus tartine on rye toast with a pickled farm egg and a fried chicken sandwich on a fresh English muffin. Those aforementioned daily changes aside, Elias says that he can’t not offer the fried organic chicken sandwich—already locked in as The Bodega’s signature dish—served with a green goddess coleslaw and a “house pickle.”

“Gotta have a pickle,” Elias says, “or it’s not a fried chicken sandwich.”

In response to a question about the craziest culinary concoction to have been served by Elias and Ayre so far, they say, simultaneously, “Last night!”

“The truck was in the shop for a couple of repairs,” Elias explains.

“But we were scheduled to do a drive-by at HenHouse Brewery. So we scrambled together, and set up an outdoor kitchen, and we ended

up serving 200 people. We weren’t able to fry anything, so no chicken sandwiches, but we came up with some interesting ways to serve smoked Italian sausages.”

The duo’s improvisational approach applies to their business model as much as to Elias’ everchanging menu. Having started in Marin, Elias and Ayre hope to build a large fan-base there, eventually.

They do a number of catering events, without the truck, but for strategic reasons, chose to launch the truck in Sonoma County, and points north.

“I’m working on the permits to operate in Marin,” Elias says, “and if our dream comes true, we’ll be serving chicken sandwiches out of The Bodega in Marin sometime in the fall.”

Until then, anyone eager to taste Elias’s inventive cooking can keep tabs on the truck’s day-to-day location by visiting The Bodega’s Facebook page.

“Hey, we’re a food truck,” Elias says. “We change locations as often as we change our menu. Because we can. And because it’s more fun that way.”Y The Bodega, 707/344-3466; thebodegaca.com; facebook.com/

Upfront The University of San Francisco’s (USF) purchase of Bolinas’ Star Route Farms will forever protect the area from big-ticket development.

Kale-a-Bunga!

Bolinas’ Star Route Farms bought by USF By Tom Gogola

T

he “OG” of certified organic farming in California, Star Route Farms in coastal Bolinas, was bought by the Jesuit University of San Francisco this week, it was announced.

News of this sale had been rumored for months around the various gossip-chewing maypoles of Bolinas, and this week the university announced that the deal had indeed gone down, as of Tuesday, July 8.

University spokeswoman Ellen Ryder says the purchase price for the farm was $10.4 million, “which

included [the] property (land and buildings), equipment, business operations, etc.”

The university will use the 100acre property as a teaching farm and community-outreach platform, and USF president Rev. Paul. J. Fitzgerald says in a statement that the purchase will enable and enhance “USF’s commitment to environmental and social justice,” central tenets of a Jesuit faith that encourages righteous activism in the name of Jesus and this hot and holy damaged planet of ours.

The purchase will save Star Route for future generations of would-be

organic farmers, and it forever protects a glorious swath of West Marin from a feared onslaught of big-ticket developers who would turn the Bolinas Lagoon-side sprawl into, God help us, a condo complex. That was the fear, anyway, as the aging Star Route founder Warren Weber reportedly spent the past several years trying to find an appropriate buyer.

Weber opened Star Route Farms in 1974 and runs it with his wife, Amy. It provides sustainable, organic vegetables—rows of kale are currently waving in the fresh foggy breeze of Bolinas—to restaurants

and markets around the Bay Area.

Says Weber in a statement, “We are very pleased and honored that the University of San Francisco will continue the Star Route Farms legacy. We hope young people, entry-level farmers, and farmers around the world who struggle with conventional agriculture will learn from the passion and expertise that USF offers this enterprise.”

Alice Waters, chef and author, and founder of the estimable sustainableand organic-only Chez Panisse in Berkeley, noted that “schoolsupported agriculture is an idea whose time has come” as she praised Weber for continuing the operation and launching an “interactive educational program that can be a model for the rest of the country.”

Traci Des Jardins, the chef-owner of Jardinière in San Francisco says she’s been buying Weber’s product for decades. “The preservation and continuation of this visionary farm will play an important role in educating new generations.”

Looking ahead, the new owners expect a seamless transition to a full takeover of the farm. Current operations will continue, and Weber’s employees’ jobs are safe, assures the university. Plans in the works include cross-disciplinary research, community education, “and programs focused on nutrition, biodiversity, sea level rise, and more.”

Star Route has indeed come a long way in its pioneering role as California’s first organic-certified farm. Weber’s farm started as a five-acre tract that utilized horsedrawn plows and, as the university notes in its announcement, was a pioneer in adopting “production and post-harvest technologies such as precision planters and hydrocooling equipment which allowed it to bring the freshest possible product to market.Y

Correction: Because of a production error, last week’s Upfront story, ‘Fish or Cut Bait,’ contained several errors and copy-editing problems in need of correction. Most notably, a push by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to enact fishing regulations in New Jersey did not include commercial fishermen in its scope, as the story reported. The full corrected version is online. We regret the snafu.

“question authority?”

PA CI FI C S U N | A U GU S T 9 - 1 5 , 2 0 1 7 | PA CI FI CSUN.CO M

“Doctors pour Drugs of which they know little, to cure Diseases of which they know less, into human beings of whom they know nothing.”

—Voltaire In everything, except for “health care, you judge by results. If you went to a restaurant, and you got food poisoning, or even just a bad meal and rude service, you wouldn’t go back. If you brought your car to a mechanic who didn’t fix your car, or worse, made it worse, you’d find a new mechanic.

But all these years, you’ve gone to The Doctor, and never gotten well. You’re still sick and/or in pain, dependent upon drugs, worried about risky surgeries in your future. Time to question authority?

Years ago, “holistic” was supposed to be a big deal. Far beyond holistic is “vitalistic,” which holds what you already accept, that your body is a selfregulating, self-healing organism, that it needs no help, just no interference.

This is how true Chiropractic will help you… not the kind you’ve been to that is either a New Age supermarket or the kind offering a “spa experience.” True Chiropractic appreciates what you already know, that your body can heal itself, and will do so when there is no interference. Chiropractic neither adds (drugs) nor subtracts (surgery). I correct interference, through gentle chiropractic adjustments, by hand only, and get out of the way. The real authority is not Medicine. It is your own body’s Innate Intelligence.

Zucchini is in abundance this time of year, and the possibilities for using it in recipes are endless.

FOOD & DRINK

Zucchini Zombies How to navigate squash season By Ari LeVaux

W

e can just cut straight to the point, because there isn’t much time. Nobody is even trying to sell them anymore at market. We are surrounded. They are swelling as we speak, and creeping steadily closer like zombies on steroids.

If you don’t typically lock your door, now would be a good time to start. Behind the usual pleasantries, your neighbors are probing you for weakness, trying to decide who among you or your spouse would be most likely to break, and accept a bag-load. Gangs of farmhands will soon be roaming the streets, leaving zucchinis on porches and in unlocked vehicles. There are zucchinis growing in your compost pile, maybe. One way or another, you have or will have zucchinis on your hands. And that’s why I’m here.

If not for the ideas, then for the encouragement. Any amount of zucchini can be handled, and probably with less effort than you

fear. If you can adopt a can’t-stopwon’t-stop approach, like the legs of a running back, you will eat a lot of zucchini, and you will like it. And it will be cheaper than what you would have made if you didn’t have zucchini.

There is your pep talk; the ideas are out there. Oh, are they ever.

As the comedian Joe Rogan has observed, “If you can imagine it, you can find it on the internet.” He was addressing a topic other than what to do with zucchinis, but nonetheless, anyone with access to a web browser can search for “zucchini ________.” Fill in the blank with whatever you have on hand, or whatever you can imagine.

And if you draw a blank, reverse the question and try to name a food, any food, that cannot be made with zucchini. You can’t.

Bread, soup, salad, pasta (as in, shredded into noodles) or steak (fried, grilled, broiled or breaded).

Parmesan, ratatouille, and other Italian ways, as well as Thai style (in curry), Vietnamese style (with

cold noodles), Chinese style (with oyster sauce and whatnot), Russian style (fried) or Ari style (chocolate zucchini mayo cake).

In fact, since it is my style, why not start with that Chocolate Zucchini Mayo Cake? It is so simple.

• Step 1: Prepare chocolate mayo cake batter* • Step 2: Add grated zucchini to the batter before baking it, and mix it in • Step 3: Proceed *I got my chocolate mayo cake recipe from the jar of Hellmann’s mayo that we always had in the fridge growing up (this was one of several recipes that rotated through the labels on such jars). But the essence of mayo cake is that you substitute mayo for the eggs and oil in virtually any cake, including from a mix.

The shreds of zucchini melt into the batter, where they act as the secret glue behind the moist glitter.

They don’t interfere with the baking process, and they add moisture, fiber and density to the finished

product, even while hiding in the background. Consider peeling the larger individuals, as squash skins will toughen as they age.

Like many sweet of tooth, I have a salty side as well. And the zucchini department is no exception. In summer, my quick and tasty go-to recipe is one that works with the honker monsters of summer, with no need to peel them. It works equally well in a pan, under the broiler or on the grill. It turns my kids into ravenous monsters, which is a great thing if it’s veggies they are ravaging.

Slice a large zucchini thickly, up to an inch, and lay the slices on a tray. If there is room, add thick slices of onion as well. Sprinkle zucchini lightly with salt on both sides, and then pour on some olive oil (about 1/4 cup for a decent sized one), white balsamic vinegar (1 tablespoon), red balsamic (1 teaspoon) and soy sauce (1 tablespoon) and many hard shakes of garlic powder.

Turn over the zucchini slices as a way of mixing the marinade and coating the slices, and then let them sit for a moment while you heat up your grill/pan/broiler. Don’t mess with the onions. Just leave them alone on the tray while you flip around the zucchini, and transfer them gingerly to the heat when it’s ready.

Lay the zucchini and onions on the heat, and cook them until soft. In a pan they need no extra oil. On the grill, where they can be placed among the hamburgers, beware of flare-ups.

These lusty, juicy steaks are light and fun to consume, and consume and consume, and it’s a beautiful thing to watch a family get full on zucchini. Those slices go well atop a burger as well, or in place of a burger on a bun.

At the other end of the size spectrum, if you are so lucky to acquire some, are the baby zucchini, those finger-sized individuals that are small enough that they still have beautiful, edible flowers attached. They would do fine in the above marinade, as would any size of summer squash, but because they are so delicate they’d be more effectively enjoyed by a slow, gentle frying in butter, intact with the flowers on. Turn when brown, and add minced garlic before the final minutes of cooking. Or, if you want to batter coat and deep fry them, I most definitely won’t stop you.

So now you have some ideas for what to do with squash at the extreme ranges of size. For all the zucchini in between, consult the internet.Y

Marin Shakespeare Company brings Ken Ludwig’s humorous ‘The Three Musketeers’ script to Forest Meadows Amphitheatre.

THEATER

Contagious Fun ‘The Three Musketeers’ showcases comedy and loyalty

By Charles Brousse

C

ombine one of Ken Ludwig’s guaranteed laugh-a-minute scripts, a cast that is gifted in the art of low comedy and a director who believes that there is no such thing as being overly broad when it comes to squeezing every last drop of humor out of the material and then adding a few more of his own invention—and what do you have?

Answer: A noisy, exciting evening of theater that will probably send you away smiling. What I’m describing here is Marin Shakespeare Company’s superlively production of Ludwig’s dramatized version of Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel, The Three Musketeers, on view through

August 27 on the group’s Forest Meadows Amphitheatre stage.

Older readers of this column may remember the novel from their school days, when there was no Harry Potter fantasy or Stephen King thriller to occupy vacation time.

First published in serialized form from March-July, 1844, it’s a highly romanticized tale of how dedication to honor, chivalry and heroism created a special bond among several members of King Louis XIII of France’s personal guards, expressed in their famous motto, “All for one and one for all.” Ludwig’s updated 2006 version proclaims the same message—many times!—but with a cheeky irreverence that befits today’s discomfort with self-proclaimed

heroes. It’s also a perfect platform for director Robert Currier’s style of physical comedy and his interjections of barely disguised satirical references to contemporary politics. Top it off with the contagious fun that everyone on stage seems to be having, and you have a formula that’s hard to beat.

It’s 1625 and all of France is in turmoil caused by the power struggle between wacky but benevolent King Louis (Richard Pallaziol) and the scheming Cardinal Richelieu (Rod Gnapp).

Against their elderly father’s (Pallaziol again) advice, the ingenuous young D’Artagnan (Jonah Robinson), accompanied by his sister Sabine (Anne Norland,

dressed as a man in a nod to feminist aspirations) travel to Paris determined to help defend the monarch and his queen, Anne of Austria (Anna Joham). There they meet a trio of fellow Gascons, Athos (Patrick Russell), Porthos (Jackson Currier) and Aramis (Dean Linnard).

Unaware that they are Louis’ musketeers, D’Artagnan challenges each to a duel—on the same day, no less! His “adversaries” are amused by the chutzpah of this callow upstart, but before things get serious, they are attacked by a band of Richelieu’s men, and his bravery in battle convinces them that the lad has potential.

In classical melodramatic style, Good and Evil face off against each other. Amid the general corruption, intrigue, adultery and murder, the musketeers with the white feathers in their caps hold firm to their noble mission and, in the process, demonstrate the overwhelming value of collegial loyalty.

Marin Shakespeare Company’s large and capable cast features outstanding performances on both sides of the moral dividing line. The forces of darkness are led

by Rod Gnapp’s Richelieu, Nick Mandracchia as his henchman Rochefort, and Elena Wright as the scheming Countess de Winter (aka Milady). Besides the musketeers, key defenders of Truth and Justice include Luisa Frasconi’s Constance and Anne Norland’s lively Sabine.

Frankly, however, Ludwig’s/ Currier’s The Three Musketeers is not about plot or performances. It’s about fighting. Every few minutes, most of the show’s male characters are drawing their rapiers and having at it, back and forth across the wide stage, up and down steps.

The wonder is that for all of the whirlwind of thrusts and parries, no one suffers injuries—a testimonial to the skill of fight director Richard Pallaziol (yes, the same Richard Pallaziol who appears as an actor in the play). I can only marvel at the hours of rehearsal that this level of coordination must have required.

Make no mistake, Musketeers is not a great play. It’s a pleasant diversion with a positive message about the value of loyalty to one’s ideals—no more, no less. These days, that’s not a bad thing to have around.Y NOW PLAYING: The Three Musketeers runs through August 27 at Forest Meadows Amphitheatre, Dominican University, 890 Belle Ave., San Rafael; 415/499-4488; marinshakespeare.org.

The Highway Poets follow their own beat

By Lily O’Brien

‘‘W

e call ourselves the musketeers,” says Sebastian Saint James, guitarist and lead singer for The Highway Poets, about he and his bandmates.

“It’s all for one and one for all.” Their friendship—and their music—has grown over the years, although originally they came from very different genres—folk and blues, funk, jam band and even heavy metal. But after hanging out together for a while, they found common musical ground.

“We decided to create a band together for fun and see if we could find a way to blend all these weird influences together and make something real, and unique and original,” Saint James says. “And I think over the course of the past nine years, we almost got that figured out.”

That must be true, because the band has lots of upcoming gigs, including one at the Marin Art & Garden Center on Thursday, August 10.

“I worked really, really hard to figure out what it is I have to offer,”

Saint James, 32, says, admitting to “some really dark, hard times in life.”

He turned to music, hoping to build a bond with his father, with whom he had a tumultuous relationship.

The band’s original songs range in style from acoustic folk and bluegrass to electric rock. “We have tried to develop a sound that can work at a coffee shop or work at a festival,” Saint James says, “but if you catch us playing at a festival, we’re going to throw a party, and we’re going to get funky and we’re going to get rock ’n’ roll.”

A successful Kickstarter campaign last year financed the band’s latest recording, set to debut at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma on September 16.

“We’re just trying to find the best version of ourselves,” Saint James says. “What we need to do is to get heard and liked by as many people as possible—by just being ourselves.”Y The Highway Poets, Thursday, Aug. 10, Marin Art & Garden Center, 30 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Ross; 5-7pm; 415/455-5260; magc.org.

A

donis handsomeness and lizard-like strangeness, mixed in one cool, sleepy-eyed vessel, Robert Mitchum had his centennial last week. Beginning on Sunday, August 13, the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center remembers this essential actor in a half-dozen movies from 1947-73. The closing film is director David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter (1970). Mitchum plays an Irish school teacher whose wife (Sarah Miles) favors a battle-scarred English soldier (Christopher Jones).

Mitchum was indelible playing a brace of psychopaths. One is the hellish good old boy Max Cady in Cape Fear (1962), a brutally effective right-wing thriller. He’s even more frightening in the southern Gothic Night of the Hunter (1955).

A mesmerizing Judas preacher (Mitchum) of the Depression is on the trail of a pair of orphans who may know where some stolen money is hidden. There is absolutely no movie like it.

River of No Return (1954), not bad, is a CinemaScope Otto Preminger Western with Marilyn Monroe as a lady of easy morals traveling with an Idaho sod-buster trying to reconnect with his son. But the Aug. 13 opener Out of the Past (1946) in 35mm is a masterpiece: A compass-spinning, epigrammatical noir with Mitchum in search of a strayed lady ( Jane Greer), while his old associate, the man who seeks her (Kirk Douglas) waits in the wings. Douglas threatens, “I’ll kill you. And I’ll promise you one thing: It won’t be quick. I’ll break you first. You won’t be able to answer a phone or open a door without thinking, ‘This is it.’”

Whether death ever really caught up with a figure as cool as Robert Mitchum is an open question.Y Celebrating the Centennial of Robert Mitchum; Aug. 13 to Sept. 3; Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center, 1118 Fourth St., San Rafael; 415/454-1222; rafaelfilm.cafilm.org.

Q:

A guy my girlfriend dated seven years ago is now an aspiring artist, and he gave my girlfriend one of his paintings. It’s abstract, splashy and horrible. I find it disrespectful of him to give it to her (because she’s in a relationship). She said he does lots of paintings, sells almost none and gives them as gifts to all of his friends. I asked her to throw it away, but she said that would be “too mean” and shoved it under the bed. Am I being overly jealous, or is it wrong to accept gifts from exes?—Chafed

A:

Art—especially abstract art—says different things to different people.

To you, the painting screams, “Ha-ha, I had sex with your girlfriend!”

To everyone else, it’s probably an expression of a moment—the one that came seconds after, “Outta the way! I had some bad clams!”

It makes sense that a gift from a guy to your girlfriend would set off your internal alarms. Consider, as evolutionary behavioral scientist Gad Saad points out, that one sex—the male one—woos (as in, tries to get the other into bed) with gifts. When a guy arrives to pick a woman up, she doesn’t open the door with, “Surprise, bro! Got you these roses! Take off your pants!”

As I somewhat frequently explain, this difference comes out of how sex can cost women big-time in a way it doesn’t cost men—with pregnancy and the 18-year after-party.

So, women evolved to go for men who are willing and able to invest, and gift-giving can be a signal of that. Your being upset over the painting could be a subconscious reaction to this. But considering that this guy is handing out paintings like they’re “We Buy Gold!” leaflets, this gift to your girlfriend is probably a sign of a few things: He paints badly (though prolifically) and lacks storage space.

In general, as for whether it’s OK to accept gifts from exes, context counts. Are there still feelings? Was the ex’s gift, say, a tire jack or a diamond-encrusted thong?

Because this was just an ugly painting given to your girlfriend by a friend, she did the kind thing and accepted it. So maybe just appreciate that her willingness to shove it under the bed relieves you of the need to suggest an even better location: A la, “Can I offer you a steak—mesquite-grilled with just a hint of carcinogenic paint fumes?”

Q:

I’m a 31-year-old woman, and I’ve been dating my boyfriend for 10 months. I was hoping to get married eventually. Well, my friend goes to this famous “relationship coach” who says that if a guy doesn’t ask you to marry him within the first year, he never will. Is that true? It’s making me feel anxious and worried that I’m wasting my time.—Two More Months?

A:

It’s comforting to believe that somebody has the magical knowledge that can get us to happily ever after. That’s why there was a movie called The Wizard of Oz and not The Dishwasher Repairman of Oz. In fact, we crave certainty and get freaked out by uncertainty. Psychologically, a guarantee of something bad happening is way more comfortable for us than the mere possibility that it could. This sounds a little nuts, but it makes evolutionary sense, because uncertainty leaves us on constant alert, which is both psychologically and physiologically draining.

When research subjects are given a choice—get an electric shock for sure right then and there or possibly get surprised with a shock later—they overwhelmingly opt for the certain zapping in the present. And neuroscientist Archy de Berker found that people experienced greater physical stress responses (sweating and enlarged pupils) when a shock came unpredictably than when they knew it was coming.

This is why it can be tempting to buy into an “expert’s” doom-and-gloom timetable— despite countless examples disproving their “Marry before the year’s out or spinsterville forever!” pronouncement. University of Pisa psychiatrist Donatella Marazziti finds that people in love are basically hormonally inebriated for a year or two. Also, it’s typically adversity—which tends to be in short supply during a year of romantic picnics and spa vacations—that shows what two people are made of and how well they, as a couple, weather life’s kicks in the teeth. You know, like after you encourage your partner to be true to that inner voice, and he listens: “Thanks to you, honey, I’m quitting my soul-killing six-figure job to become a professional pogo stick artist.”Y Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com.

Astrology

For the week of August 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I hope you’re making wise use of the surging fertility that has been coursing through you. Maybe you’ve been reinventing a long-term relationship that needed creative tinkering. Perhaps you have been hammering together an innovative business deal or generating new material for your artistic practice.

It’s possible that you have discovered how to express feelings and ideas that have been half-mute or inaccessible for a long time. If for some weird reason you are not yet having experiences like these, get to work! There’s still time to tap into the fecundity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano defines “idiot memory” as the kind of remembrances that keep us attached to our old self-images, and trapped by them. “Lively memory,” on the other hand, is a feisty approach to our old stories. It impels us to graduate from who we used to be. “We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are,” writes Galeano. “Identity is no museum piece sitting stock-still in a display case.”

Here’s another clue to your current assignment, Taurus, from psychotherapist Dick Olney: “The goal of a good therapist is to help someone wake up from the dream that they are their self-image.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sometimes, Gemini, loving you is a sacred honor for me— equivalent to getting a poem on my birthday from the Dalai Lama. On other occasions, loving you is more like trying to lap up a delicious milkshake that has spilled on the sidewalk, or slow-dancing with a giant robot teddy bear that accidentally knocks me down when it suffers a glitch. I don’t take it personally when I encounter the more challenging sides of you, since you are always an interesting place to visit. But could you maybe show more mercy to the people in your life who are not just visitors?

Remind your dear allies of the obvious secret—that you’re composed of several different selves, each of whom craves different thrills.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Liz, my girlfriend when I was young, went to extreme lengths to cultivate her physical attractiveness. “Beauty must suffer,” her mother had told her while growing up, and Liz heeded that advice. To make her long blonde hair as wavy as possible, for example, she wrapped strands of it around six empty metal cans before bed, applied a noxious spray and then slept all night with a stinky, clanking mass of metal affixed to her head. While you may not do anything so literal, Cancerian, you do sometimes act as if suffering helps keep you strong and attractive—as if feeling hurt is a viable way to energize your quest for what you want. But if you’d like to transform that approach, the coming weeks will be a good time. Step One: Have a long, compassionate talk with your inner saboteur.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Each of us comes to know the truth in our own way, says astrologer Antero Alli. “For some it is wild and unfettered,” he writes. “For others it is like a cozy domesticated cat, while others find truth through their senses alone.” Whatever your usual style of knowing the truth might be, Leo, I suspect that you’ll benefit from trying out a different method in the next two weeks. Here are some possibilities: Trusting your most positive feelings; tuning in to the clues and cues your body provides; performing ceremonies in which you request the help of ancestral spirits; and slipping into an altered state by laughing nonstop for five minutes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Would you scoff if I said that you’ll soon be blessed with supernatural assistance? Would you smirk and roll your eyes if I advised you to find clues to your next big move by analyzing your irrational fantasies? Would you tell me to stop spouting nonsense if I hinted that a guardian angel is conspiring to blast a tunnel through the mountain you created out of a molehill? It’s OK if you ignore my predictions, Virgo.

They’ll come true even if you’re a staunch realist who doesn’t believe in woo-woo, juju or mojo.

By Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the Season of Enlightenment for you. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you will achieve an ultimate state of divine grace. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll be freestyling in satori, samadhi or nirvana. But one thing is certain: Life will conspire to bring you the excited joy that comes with deep insight into the nature of reality. If you decide to take advantage of the opportunity, please keep in mind these thoughts from designer Elissa Giles: “Enlightenment is not an asexual, dispassionate, head-in-the-clouds, nails-inthe-palms disappearance from the game of life. It’s a volcanic, kick-ass, erotic commitment to love in action, coupled with hard-headed practical grist.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some zoos sell the urine of lions and tigers to gardeners who sprinkle it in their gardens. Apparently the stuff scares off wandering house cats that might be tempted to relieve themselves in vegetable patches. I nominate this scenario to be a provocative metaphor for you in the coming weeks. Might you tap into the power of your inner wild animal so as to protect your inner crops? Could you build up your warrior energy so as to prevent run-ins with pesky irritants?

Can you call on helpful spirits to ensure that what’s growing in your life will continue to thrive?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The fates have conspired to make it right and proper for you to be influenced by Sagittarian author Mark Twain. There are five specific bits of his wisdom that will serve as benevolent tweaks to your attitude.

I hope that you will also aspire to express some of his expansive snappiness. Now here’s Twain: 1. “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” 2. “Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.” 3. “It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” 4. “When in doubt, tell the truth.” 5. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “My grandfather used to tell me that if you stir muddy water it will only get darker,” wrote I. G. Edmonds in his book Trickster Tales. “But if you let the muddy water stand still, the mud will settle and the water will become clearer,” he concluded. I hope that this message reaches you in time, Capricorn. I hope that you will then resist any temptation you might have to agitate, churn, spill wine into, wash your face in, drink or splash around in the muddy water.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1985, Maurizio Cattelan quit his gig at a mortuary in Padua, Italy and resolved to make a living as an artist. He started creating furniture, and ultimately evolved into a sculptor who specialized in satirical work. In 1999 he produced a piece depicting the pope being struck by a meteorite, which sold for $886,000 in 2001. If there were ever going to be a time when you could launch your personal version of his story, Aquarius, it would be in the next 10 months. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you should go barreling ahead with such a radical act of faith, however. Following your bliss rarely leads to instant success. It may take years. (16 in Cattelan’s case.) Are you willing to accept that?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Tally up your physical aches, psychic bruises and chronic worries.

Take inventory of your troubling memories, halfrepressed disappointments and existential nausea.

Do it, Pisces! Be strong. If you bravely examine and deeply feel the difficult feelings, then the cures for those feelings will magically begin streaming in your direction. You’ll see what you need to do to escape at least some of your suffering. So name your griefs and losses, my dear. Remember your near-misses and total fiascos. As your reward, you’ll be soothed and relieved and forgiven. A Great Healing will come.Y Homework: When they say, “Be yourself,” which self do they mean? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.
