Cranky Large Medium reading, 9 February

Go away.

What more can I do to make you go? Is there some deep desire you have for me that makes you stay? Oh, horrors! Oh, no! Oh, no. You only want a reading. Well, then , why didn't you say so from the get-go? Here you are:

Both the strongest and the weakest physically are born in this month. I hope holding up that sheet of paper isn't too taxing for you. All have great potential; few will achieve it (no surprise there. You aren't in the minority). Study yourself and your inclinations... and don't let the police catch you. You are loyal to your friend and constant in your love, if you ever come across it, which would take a miracle of epic proportion.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. That would take a miracle of epic proportion, too. But, hey, look on the bright side: you have the miracle of still being able to remain above ground. The majority of humans to date have lost that ability, including these people, all of whom, on this date in history, returned to ground: Minamoto no Yoritomo, Murad IV, Yuri Andropov, Eugene Bleuler, Dennis Gabor, Herbert Simon, Rowland Taylor, Lucilio Vanini, Joseph Aloysius Assemani, Dionysios Solomos, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Gerhard Dou, Johan Jongkind, Alexandre Benois, Osamu Tezuka, Eddy Duchin, Percy Faith, Brian Connolly, Tyrone Davis, Scott Halpin, George Francis "Gabby" Hayes, David Wayne, Bryan Mosley, Ian Richardson, Sophie Tucker, Nadira, Hank Bauer, Agnès Sorel, Seth Pomeroy, Princess Margaret,

and Bill Haley.

Shake. Rattle. Groan. Old age has got you.
Happy birthday, anyway.
