Can this circus get any more colourful?

Jose Baez and Casey Anthony’s defense team are now working with a woman who’s married to a killer sitting on Florida’s death row.
The latest revelation came during jury selection this week, when mitigation specialist Rosalie Bolin appeared at the defense table with Anthony. As a mitigation specialist, her job is to find information about Casey Anthony’s life that could help the defense in the event she’s found guilty.

Anthony is thrilled to have a new best friendBolin’s well-known in the Tampa Bay area, not just by attorneys who turn to her expertise in death cases, but for her personal life.

She used to be married to a Tampa attorney — until she met murderer Oscar Ray Bolin Jr. who waits on death row after viciously abducted, torchered, raped and killed three women. Ms. Bolin divorced her husband and gave up custody of her 4 daughters to marry this guy over the telephone, much to his delight I bet.As of Friday the jury count stands at 12 possible or probables. More people are summoned to appear this next week including homeless people from the shelter next door to the courthouse.

I’m hoping to see a fair trial with a competent jury of Caseys peers and all evidence discussed in the order of the timeline of the case. But with Baez at the helm for the defense it likely will be as slow and as complicated as he can make it.

Attorney Anne Finnell has started sprouting lies and excuses for Casey already, as if theres any excuse for killing a child. How Anthony will stand up to the scrutiny remains to be seen.

People cover up murders to look like accidents, they do not cover up accidents to look like murder.

The trial of the century

The trial of Casey Anthony. Anthony (born March 19, 1986) faces murder charges for the death of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Caylee was last seen in June 2008, but the search did not begin until a month later, when she was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy Anthony. Remains were found near the Anthony home on Dec. 11, 2008 that were later identified as Caylee's. Jury selection for Anthony's trial began on May 9, 2011 and the trial is expected to last 6 weeks.

I began watching this horrific case unfold on the Nancy Grace show back when Cindy Anthony called 911 asking for the police to come and arrest her daughter Casey. Other words Cindy said at that time were that her grandaughter was missing and that “it smelled like there was a dead body in the dam car”

The 911 operator asked to speak to Casey and when her mom told Casey to pick up the phone she could be heard in the background asking “what do they want to talk to me for?”

A lot has happened since July 2008 when Casey spoke to that 911 operator and admitted that her 2 year old daughter had been missing for 31 days. She later told police she had been conducting her own investigation and that the nanny had taken the child. Casey claimed a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalas had been babysitting the child off and on for a couple of years while she worked at Universal in Orlando as an events coordinator. The nanny, the apartment where she lived and the job evaporated as lies eventually and the one real person with that actual name is sueing for deformation of her character. At one point Cindy Anthony said to her “you’re cute but you’re not a ten” as Casey had described her. However, the description was found to be similar to a woman that Caseys father had been having an affair with. George Anthony then holed up in a cheap hotel and wrote a suicide letter but he was found and returned home. Some think the reason that he wanted to die was because he was the one who killed Caylee.

 By then the police had confiscated the family computer and found Google had been asked how to break a neck, how to make weapons using household goods as well as how to make chloroform. Four people in that home had access to that computer. Later traces of chloroform were found in the trunk of Caseys car leading people to think that Casey had been using the sleep drug as a babysitter at least once but most believe it had been used frequently so she could party with her friends.

One theory is that Casey used it once too often or maybe too much at once. An expert will testify the strength of the chloroform was 10,000 times stronger than he had ever seen and an accumulation could cause brain damage or death. Some think Casey may have been drunk or wacked out on drugs and slept in after a night of partying and failed to retrieve Caylee out of the trunk where she may have died in the heat of a 104º Florida summer day.

Either way Casey tried to slow down the search by saying she felt that Caylee was alive and nearby. She was the daughter of a cop and probably knew the more decomposed the body - the more difficult it was to determine the cause of death and the more chances of the body not being found at all.

Meanwhile cadaver dogs were sent in to the Anthonys backyard where they hit on 2 spots.

A neighbour came forth with the info that Casey had borrowed a shovel from him around the time that Caylee went missing. As well, telephone pings to the Anthony home came in fast and furious the afternoon that Caylee was last seen alive by her grandparents. Presumably the child was dead within hours of her leaving home and Casey panicked and called her parents several times but they weren’t at home.

During this time Casey got a tattoo applied on her back that said “Bella Vita” (a beautiful life) and although the tattoo artist asked about Caylee she didn’t tell him that her daughter was missing. To her parents she said “she’s with the nanny” and to the friends she said “she’s with my parents” and she made sure they would'nt communicate with each other and compare notes.

Casey Anthony was in jail when a meter reader stumbled upon the body, triple bagged and with duct tape covering the mouth area. Directly over the mouth was a heart shaped sticker exactly like the sheet of stickers found in the Anthony home with a few missing.

Added mysteries to this case is that the meter reader had previously called 911 twice prior to this claiming to have found a body in the same location. His ex wife testified that her husband had used duct tape on her before she divorced him, casting suspicion upon him. Searchers claimed to have searched that area and there was no body there at the time.

When Anthony was first arrested for stealing money from her grandmother in the nursing home and cashing stolen cheques a bounty hunter named Leonard Padilla took an interest in her. He decided to help. He and I believe his son or nephew bailed her out and although she was free for a week he says she never once asked to go out searching for her daughter. She never spoke of her daughter or even looked at pictures of Caylee except to point out herself in some of the pictures in the room. He does not speak well of her to this day, instead referring to her as a cold callus psyco.

Authorities also found a hair in the trunk of Caseys car that dna proved to be a hair from little Caylee Anthony. The hair had a “death ring” near the root area proving that it had fallen from her head after she was dead. This is a natural occurance after a person is already dead and an expert will testify to this during the trial. A death stain was also photographed of what looks like a small child in the fetal position in the lining of the trunk.

Another expert will testify there were coffin flies in that trunk as well as another type of fly that comes from a wooded area and not normally found in a city driven car.

The evidence seems overwhelming, but much is circumstantial or “junk science” just as dna was considered to be just a few short years ago.

I’m sure I’ve left out some details; I’m writing this from memory.

I’ve been watching the jury selection unfold for the past 3 days. During this time Casey Anthony has gone from a happily smiling woman who continually flirts with her lawyers to a sullen sick puppy.

The selection of suitable jurors is growing slimmer by the day and yesterday 50 prospective jurors were sent packing when one of them spoke openly to the press regarding the case. She had been mistakenly summoned for jury duty although she had been amongst the group who had searched for Caylee and had been removed from the Anthonys property by George Anthony so shouldn’t even have been on the juror list.

Another possible juror was fined $450. for attempting to get out of jury duty. And then there were a lot of other excuses as nobody has up to 6 weeks to devote to being sequestered in a hotel with no tv or computer.

Some admitted they had already decided that she was guilty.

Judge Belvin Perry mentioned trying to find homeless people who have a drivers license which is the requirement to serve on a jury in the state of Florida.

Anthony appeared to be having a little tiff with her attorney; some say a lovers spat. Jose Baez, her attorney was overheard saying to her “you’re acting like a 2 yr old” which were unfortunate words since her daughter was just 2 when she disappeared. She replied “really?” and he said “really” Strange conversation of a lawyer and his client who is facing the death penalty.

He may have been referring to her constant primping and adjusting her hair or the fake crying and later that day they were seated apart and differently.

Then she began to feel ill and apparently she was unable to unclench her hand and so was escorted out of the courtroom for 15 minutes.

Some say she was crying but I don’t know how anyone can cry without tears. She dabbed at her eyes and nose with a tissue as though she was crying but I think this girl is a liar and an actress through and through.

Maybe it’s all just finally getting to her. She refused a visit from her mom on mothers day and her parents havent been in the courtroom with their usual support this week. Her brother hasn’t been around either since she accused him and their dad of sexual abuse. And now her lawyer is angry at her, possibly because of the fake crying routine she does only when theres a packed courtroom.

It all seems like a slam dunk but guess it’s more complicated than that.

Jose Baez claims that all the answers will be heard within the first minutes of his opening statement. Some think Casey is going to throw her dad under the bus with accusations that he’s the one who did it, which I believe is just plain crazy.

I’ll be watching this trial every day hoping for justice for Caylee.

Canucks - 2 Nashville - 1

Borrowing words from Nancy Grace....*BOMBSHELL* TONIGHT!

For the first time in 17 years the Canucks have made it to the third round of the playoffs.

Luongo was sensational and Kessler got two assists. It was a great game although scarey at times. After a few days rest we'll meet San Jose or Detroit in Vancouver.

Go Canucks!

The Royal wedding

Did you stay up and watch it?  It really was awesome to experience this, yes i'm a royals watcher. I'm sad that Williams mom didn't get to see her son wed but i think she'd heartily approve of his choice of wife.

It did get a tad long and drawn out; so much praying and violins and choir singing but it goes with the pomp and splendor of the monarchy which charmingly is very much alive in the UK and the Commonwealth.

 The dress was designed by Sarah Burton and the design made quite a statement with chantilly lace and a form fitting bodice with a sort of a loose V neckline, long fitted sleeves and a quite full skirt.
Everyone said it fit Kate to a T, but i thought the bust area could have used 2 little tiny alterations of the cups. It was difficult to get the colour right as it looked sort of silverish, then off white beige, then yellowish. The dress appeared to have a lot of fabric and yet wasn't at all heavy looking. Kate wore the dress comforably, it definitely didn't wear her.  There was a train, no where nearly as long as Diana had but just right; it followed her very smoothly when she walked. It was a little reminescent of Grace Kellys elegant wedding dress and it'll be in style forever.

Kates tiara was made by Cartier for the Queen mother who passed it on the Queen Elizabeth who now  has passed it on to Kate.
Kate looked a little different as her hair was up off her face with long curls down from the back. She looked lovely in her veil and didn't appear to be nervous or shy at all. She carried a smallish bouquet of white flowers with sprigs of myrtle from Queen Victorias plants. Kate is a dignified elegant woman very well suited to become Queen when William becomes King.

William was handsome in his red uniform and Harry as the best man looked pretty skookum too.
Queen Elizabeth wore marigold yellow; a very unusual bright choice for her.She was smiling and joyful throughout the ceremony.

The vows were said and William placed the ring on her finger but she didn't put one on him - he didn't want to have a wedding ring.

Hats of course were a big deal for the female guests. Some were nice but others were a little strange.
Kates mom Carole Middleton wore a pale blue suit that was created by the designer of Dianas wedding dress; Catherine iforgethername. Kates sister Pippa was the maid of honor in a white cowl necked dress that was beautiful in it's simplicity. Tongues are already wagging about Pippa and Prince Harry being a good match.

The Duchess of Cornwall wore Anna Valentine and it was Philip Tracey hats for the Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.  All the little girl bridesmaids wore dresses very similar to what  Dianas bridesmaids wore.

Prince Charles and Camilla got a lot of applause and i didn't see Princess Anne until she was seated . She looked lovely as well. Spotted the Beckhams in the church and Sir Elton John too. The crowds outside were happy to be there and they cheered for the newlyweds as they rode off in horse drawn carriages to Buckingham Palace for brunch with 600 guests. Later 300 will join the happy couple for a dinner celebration.

I wanted to see the first kiss but it hasn't happened yet unless i missed seeing them appear on the balcony. No matter, i'm sure lots of kissing will be done eventually as this fairy-tale wedding comes to a close for me here a million miles away at 5:30 in the morning!

Sorry no pic,i'm too tired to look for one. You know what they look like anyway.  Goodnite.

Game 1 Round 2

Vancouver Canucks - 1  Nashville Predators  -0

Chris Higgins #20 celebrates his goal with #2 Dan Hamuis.

Assist was by Maxim Lapierre. Chris and Maxim are both ex Habs.

Nashville is a nice town, their players play nicely and it was a nice, easy to watch stress free game.

Heres a nice pic of Lu wearing his nice mask making a nice catch

Alex Burrows note of interest, after all this is a girly sort of blog - Our hero from game 7 Alex and his wife proudly welcomed a healthy baby girl named Victoria who weighed in @ 5lbs.

And Happy birthday to my mom, may you forever rest in peace.

Looking forward to another nice game on Saturday (if i survive a nice royal wedding today)

Canucks- 2 Chicago- 1

What a game! Alex Burrows made it so exciting.  I think this was one of the the most dramatic games in the Canucks history and it was Alex all the way.  Alex started it with the first goal and finished it with the tie breaker and winning goal in sudden death overtime.
He also got a penalty shot which he missed and an "OMG!"  penalty in OT
Chicago played an awesome game and they can go home proud.
Unbelievable.
This is what we live for.

Thanks for the good vibes everyone; i know that's what did it.

Oh, btw, now i'm sorry for what i said about Luongos ugly "hat"   It's now his lucky charm ; )

Next up - Nashville at Vancouver Canucks probably Thursday night.

THE FINAL CUT

Game 7 here tonight. It’s win or go home for Canucks and Blackhawks

What, me worry? It’s only the most important game of the Canucks life.

The Western Conference quarterfinal, as you may be aware,has already taken on epic dimensions and featured more twists and turns than a slalom course.
The Canucks with a 3 - 0 lead seemed bulletproof but then in no particular order Raffi Torres planted Brent Seabrook giving the Blackhawks a cause.
Luongo sprung a leak while his teammates went wandering off giving the Canucks fans a big headache. And that doesn’t even begin to cover the horrible details of game 6.

And now here we are: faceoff on home ice between the Presidents Trophy winner and the reigning Stanley Cup champions and my thought is that we should play like we did in game 6.  What the heck.

The Canucks worked so hard to get to this point while Chicago just sorta breezed in on a lucky star. And while it’s a known fact  the twins and Luongo have a tendency to choke at the most inopportune times they will have to break out of this habit right now! It’s probably the Canucks last chance for 5 to10 years or more before we’ll ever get here again….no pressure but c,mon, I might not live long enough to see it.

Alain Vigneault has been the most successful Canuck coach in our history.
If we lose this game he’ll be gone and the thought is unbearable. It’s even harder for him as he’s going to have to take our team to the final four to keep his job.
The rest of us are just concentrating on this one game for now; it’s do or die.

Kevin Bieksa, Sami Salo and Christian Ehrhoff will be free agents after this and no doubt gone as we won’t have the $ to keep them.
And to top it all off if we don’t get this game tonight what will happen to Lu? We have him under contract for the next millinium for $5.3 million….love ya Luey but you know your paycheque is going to be a millstone around our neck preventing us from signing any potential new stars. Think about it.
Try wearing your nice mask instead of that butt ugly grungy thing that looks like it’s been rattling around in a dirty old ditch for a few years. I am so embarrassed by that ugly ol' thing.  This occasion warrants the good hat!

We didn’t come into this series as hopefuls; we were the favourites with all our core players in their prime. Chicago and Luongo have a known history but all that must be pushed aside.

We can handle anything that comes after Chicago, no problem, no whining and crying about the rest of the games. We can and will play great and the fans of Vancouver and B.C. and Canada and sprinklings of fans in the Ukraine, the U.S., Australia and all over the place will cheer our team on always with great excitement and the never ending love we have for our Canucks.

Oh, and the people who took their Canucks flags off their cars after the last game will likely have put them on again by now for tonights game, less than 3 hours away.  This particular game is so very important and every flag counts.

If we lose, which I havent even thought about; the police will be out and about in Vancouver tonight. Some fans are so immature but most of us just go into deep mourning, but really; I’m not planning ahead…..

No pressure but dammit, you Nucks better get it!

Repeat along with me:

Please send positive energy to the Canucks. Just visualize what i want.

Don’t picture fantastic goals by the Sedin twins or a slipup by the Chicago goalie. You need to cross your fingers, close your eyes and count down slowly from 7 to 1. Then visualize a small screen in front of you and the game is over, the Canucks won and the crowds are cheering. They felt your vibes, yayyyy!

Thank you very much!  

and thanks Jaypiddy for the use of your artwork, which i changed a little but still messed up by leaving "gold" instead of Stanley.

Three hours to go and i'm already a mess.......

The Canucks are in the playoffs!

The stars are aligned. Montreal and Calgary staged the Olympics in 1976 and 1988 and then respectively won the Stanley Cup the following years. So it only stands to reason that Vancouver will follow in 2011, right?

The road to the Stanley Cup is a long journey filled with potholes but we know we’ll be there after last nights 3-2 win in OT against the Calgary Flames. It also secured the Art Ross Trophy for Daniel Sedin and the Jennings Trophy for Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider.

But the Canucks must wait until later today to see who they'll face in the opening round. Right now, it could be Los Angeles, Anaheim, Chicago or Dallas finishing as the eighth seed.

Was there any doubt we would in the playoffs? Nah, don’t think so. Our team has had a great season, amazing really! We are an amazing team! My fav. hockey playing male twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin have made the game so exciting for me. (I say male twins because my own fav. hockey playing twins are female)

Daniel and Henrik know where each other is going to be at all times and their timing with the puck is second to none. I havent been this excited since Pavel Bure, the Russian rocket was on our team and I named my cat after him.

The 6 month grind is over. We’re in the playoffs!

Celebrity Apprentice money money money money........money!

I see dust bunnies rolling around on my blog  so thought I better get with.  So today I thought I’d write my take on last nights episode of Celebrity Apprentice. Some of you know I’m a big reality show fan and this show is one of my many favourites.


The theme was art and each team had to shop for their art supplies and then create art to sell. So off they went to Michaels where they loaded up with some of the strangest supplies, most of which they didn’t use and that of which they did wasn’t what anyone could say was the best of stuff.

Then, far be it for any celebrity to ask anyone anything; the project managers didn’t even ask their team members if anyone knew anything about painting nor did they enlist the help of a salesperson although of course it might have been edited out but i think not - people think they can do everything without help. I noticed they chose relatively inexpensive paints and although I really thought that was a big blunder it turned out it wouldn't have made any difference in the final outcome anyhow because it all boiled down to simply the celebrity of the artists.

Well, ok, the wealthy ones and/or the celebrities with the richest family, friends and connections. They could have painted with jello and still sold their artworks for mega bucks.  Seems wrong somehow, but guess I’m just jealous.

So they painted their pictures of buffalo or whatever it was and other things like hats, cowboy boots and a guitar and t-shirt, set up their galleries and proceeded to rake in the money.

Well!!!

The mens team Backbone raised almost $627,000. for St. Judes Hospital and the womens team ASAP raised $986,000. for their leader Marlee Matlins charity of an organization that provides free hearing aids to deaf children. The Donald then antied up a few bucks to make the womens team total a cool million. Wowzers!

Some of the stuff they sold besides their beautiful paintings were a Gibson guitar for $470,000. And I think they got $99,000. for Rich’s painted boots.
LaToya donated a rare t-shirt that would have been sold at brother Michaels This is It  concert which brought in $99,000. LaToya also won the best decorated hat contest and got an additional $20,000. for her charity which was a fund for the cure of Aids. BTW, the $99,000. thing is because rich peoples credit cards have a limit too. Well, it's 70,000 more than mine but wth.

Would you believe a grand total of one million, six hundred thousand?  Dollars.   Yes!

This sum was the most money ever raised in the history of the Apprentice show. They raised more money on one task than in some entire seasons!

Honestly, it’s incredible some of the things people have had to do on other tasks for a paltry little 20,000!  

Mr.T then asked the womens team if they’d like him to fire someone from the mens team. This is not the usual practice for him; he fires whoever he feels like and his choice is usually right on (except for the time Joan Rivers won)  But since Jose Canseco had to leave the show because his dad was very ill the men were down one member already.

Silly me; I thought the women would say nah, lets not fire anyone….

But what do I know;  girls are wise and stronger than I thought.
The women; basically Marlee as the task leader but all agreed with her to have Mr.Trump fire one of the men. This was justified because the womens team had lost the three previous weeks and were down to 5 against the mens 6.   And this is business!

The boardroom discussion followed and some wanted Gary Busey fired but as Richard Hatch (winner of the first Survivor) was the weakest player and raised the least or no money the Donald fired him. In a way even though I don’t like Richard much I thought that was unfair because I didn’t think he was as much of a celebrity as the others. However, Donald said he was equally as big and famous as the rest with influential connections. Can’t argue against Mr. Trump but i think some of Riches connections are in the big house.

So next week an even playing field with LaToya, Nene Leakes, Star Jones, Marlee Matlin and Hope Dworsomething
against Meatloaf, Gary Busey, Lil Jon, Mark McGrath and John Rich

I’d like to see Star drift off into the galaxy asap and John Rich can go with her too. Then it’s gonna get interesting….but since i'm a lousey predictor these two will probably be the last ones standing.
I can hardly wait to see it all happen.

Happy St.Valentines day!

I sometimes stick a page into the gutter to hold my spot and some books require several pages or the double treatment.  The first pic I took had misc. junque in the background so added a piece of red cardstock and got the reflection and shadow instead.

When I emptied the camera I found these pics of a sunset that i had taken a couple weeks ago and had forgotten they were still in the camera.Crappy pics but they were so tiny i had to enlarge quite a bit.

This is the view of the Alex Fraser Bridge that we get from our sunroom and there’s nothing but sunset here. So was i surprised when i saw the next one.....

Same sunset but several orbs and trails in the sky, some far away and others barely visible

This one came right up close. I cropped the bottom off the pic and it wasn’t right in the corner like that; it was more like a third of the way up from the bottom. I wondered if there was any news about orbs so googled and found out they’re quite plentiful. There’s people who can actually see them with the naked eye while most merely catch them in some of their pictures.

Some say orbs are caused by the cameras flash or maybe a strange phenomenon of dust or mist or bugs or pollen but all of those kinds of theories have been proven wrong.
Others believe they’re human souls or ghosts floating around.
Some of the google pics show large groups of them congregating or socializing.
What are they? Where do they come from?

Well, i believe everyone can believe whatever they want.  There’s been several times in my life when I was saved by an unknown energy from definite calamity and who knows; maybe it was my guardian angel in the form of an orb. There was one time in particular when a very strong force pushed and guided me into safety and i know it wasn't just chance or coincidence but what we call a miracle.  So who or what helped me? Sounds nutsy but maybe it was an orb.  I think they’re always around, just because they aren't often seen doesn’t mean they're not there and ready to help. Guardian angels, thats a good explanation and the one i'll go with.

What do you believe?

everything you ever wanted to know about number two

What’s so special about  February?  So glad you asked….well it’s the 2nd month and it’s the month of my birthday!

So, what’s better than one 2?  Two 2’s!  That’s my day.

It’s said that people born on Feb. 22nd have old souls. Also born on 2-22 George Washington and Drew Barrymore. We are Pisces; the sign of the fishes

The roman numeral 11 stands for “bright giant”
Two is the atomic number of helium.

There’s an old Chinese saying “all good things come in twos” So today I’ll show you 22 pictures.

What’s better than having a baby girl? Having 2 baby girls!
Here’s my twins at age 7

My favourite NHL players are #22 Daniel Sedin and his twin Henrik #33 of the Vancouver Canucks.

Twins in mythology: Apollo and Artemis and Romulus and Remus.

Actors who have (or had) a twin: Elvis, Ashton Kutcher, Alanis Morissette, Parker Posey, Ed Sullivan and the Olsen twins

 Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Fictional twins: Man in Black/John Locke/Smoke Monster,
Ok that’s triplets but who’s counting when we’re talking about Lost
The Bobbsey twins, Super Mario brothers,
Marge Simpsons older twin sisters; Selma and Patty Bouvier

Here’s a couple of bucks - toonie - looks crappy in the pic but is actually shiny and quite pretty irl

Here’s the 2 peanuts from my famous big shell. I hit a big one that day!

I play deuces wild on occasion. Contrary to popular belief it’s not just a kids game but a game of skill. Lots of moola is wasted by players who don’t check the payouts and hold the wrong cards (hint: 2 pairs don't pay and if holding only one card remember - face cards are no more valuable than 3's thru 10's)
Lots of players don't realise they can still get the big payout Royal Flush (as long as no wild card shows up) and it's a nice surprise when it happens. But of course if one or more deuces show up it's still a Royal Flush; it just pays less. Shown here is 5 -fives's but it's the 4 wild cards that are the big winner.

What’s the most widely used and famous pencil?  #2 of course and it even has a book written about it

Question: Why then is it still #2? Let’s have tea for 2 and figure that one out.

In Mathematics divisibility by 2 is easily tested by merely looking at the last digit. If it’s even then the whole number is even.

2 has more divisors than 1

Two has the unique property that 2+2 = 2·2 = 2²=2↑↑2=2↑↑↑2, and so on, no matter how high the operation is.

In numerology #2 represents the opposite of #1
People who are #2’s are good natured, easy going, co-operative and soft, not physically strong.

Number 22 is the master builder and the most successful of all numbers. It governs the overall structure of Scripture from the 22 spokes of the Bible wheel to the 22 spokes of the inner wheel of Revelation.

In the Tarot deck the Fool is sometimes represented as 0 (the 1st card) or as 22 (the last card)

Number 2 is the High Priestess in the Major Arcana of 22 cards in the Tarot deck or the trump card.

Number 2 Tarot cards
Spades - Swords - Air

Diamond - Coins - Earth

Clubs - Wands - Fire

Hearts - Cups - Water

Feb 20th is Hoodie Hoo day - go outside and shout Hoodie Hoo to scare away winter and cause spring to want to be sprung. The toothpick was patented today as well.

The 21st is Presidents day in the U.S.

Just 28 days in Feb.2011 and it’s honoured by being Public Sleeping Day - yes; you can sleep on a park bench, on a blanket at the beach, on the job, whatever….

In closing I have a question:
Is the person in charge of human waste disposal referred to as number 1 or number 2?
