frustratedpilotSagittarius Horoscope for week of March 14, 2013
NASA used whale oil to lubricate the Hubble Space Telescope and Voyager spacecrafts. There was a good reason: Whale oil doesn't freeze at the low temperatures found in outer space. While I certainly don't approve of killing whales to obtain their oil, I want to use this story to make a point. It's an excellent time for you, too, to use old-school approaches for solving ultra-new-school problems. Sometimes a tried-and-true method works better, or is cheaper, simpler, or more aesthetically pleasing.
There have been times I've wanted to use smoke signals instead of the Internet. The problem is I don't smoke and don't really want to talk to anybody who does.
