So...about this May 21st thing.

Is anybody here worried about it? Anything special about the astrology surrounding that date? I haven't had any feelings myself, nor have I seen anything WRT the planets that ticked me off personally. But I am by no means an expert.

I chock up the entire mess to widespread paranoia by religious fundamentalists and crackpots. Still, I thought I'd ask for the insights of others here.

to prepare people for the return of the Gods!

I just hope Freya comes calling when she returns



Other than that I have no reason to think it will be special.
