Dear friends & family,
Below: some goings-on to lure you out of the house (and one late-night TV program worth watching).
Here's the final view of our magnificent July cover, linking to the July issue. After midnight tonight, you'll connect to August's issue: From reflections on this year's E-11 festival to green roofs to an update on bees to an ode to a former porn star-turned-LDS, it's a quirky, well-written issue that's bound to bring you some pleasure.

I think there should be a Mars ritual, this week, so we can clearly mark the end of its eight-month-plus transit through Libra, a trek that began on December 7, 2013 and finally ends on Friday, July 25, as well as delineate the beginning of its seven-week transit through Scorpio, a journey that begins on July 25 and ends on September 13. I'm not sure what a "Bye-Bye Mars In Libra" ritual would look like, although I'm certain just about every Libra would (without a moment's hesitation) create an interpretative dance expressing both grief and relief...( read more).
