I could do better

Dear Sagittarius, who IS that intriguing person who's just moved into your neighborhood? What is it about your new neighbor that makes it impossible for you to stop wondering about them? Quit obsessing over it! Get your courage up, and the next time this person is outside, go over and introduce yourself, using the pretext of a "welcome to the neighborhood!" Then casually mention you are short on cash. These people are actually gullable and will give you ten bucks. If handled well, over time, you can get them to write you into their will and you have a much better house than you do now. Your lucky number today is 97.

I should go into writing horoscopes and see if I can put the Great Zaganza out of business.

Cat hunting

True to his word, Dirk's house now has a front wall. It could use another layer of paint and the shabby excuse for a garden out front has been utterly trampled. At least it was only full of weeds.
Dirk is sitting on the front step with a cigarette, and looks pretty much the same as he always does. The shirt and tie clash glaringly, and he hasn't lost any weight. The front door is slightly ajar, and the temperature and humidity here are probably more pleasant than in much of the U.S. at the moment.
