Snake handing day!

Years ago, YKWIA told me about the zodiac sign Ophiuchus. What evolved was Snake Handing Day in its honour. It's a in-joke, what can I say. Ophiuchus is a constellation in the form of a man grasping a snake, you see. But imagine my delight when Rachel Maddow discussed Ophiuchus and the 13 signs of the zodiac--and why they exist--on her show. And yes, I agree with her. I refuse to be a Pisces rather than an Aries. But I think it would be great to be an Ophiuchus.



PS Rachel Maddow is an April Fools' Day baby, so her birthday is one day off of mine. She is also six years younger than I am. Gee.
