Not a happy birthday but a memory nevertheless. Elvis died 29 years ago today. That's funny I could have swore I saw him in the fish and chip shop only a few days ago  gus |

Brigadier Roy Firebrace (1889-1974) - siderialist astrologer, editor of Spica magazine.
DATA: According to his own recollection in Spica magazine, Roy was born August 16th 1889, at 5:00 p.m. AST, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
A big-framed Canadian, an ex-army man, Firebrace worked closely with the eminent siderealist Cyril Fagan (1896-1970) and gained a lasting enthusiasm for the Sidereal Astrology technique.
Firebrace was one of the founders of the UK Astrological Association in 1958 and was its first president. He wanted the new Association to be exclusively sidereal but this was resisted by other members, so in March 1961 he resigned to found the sidereal journal Spica, which was published regularly by him until October 1974.
He also authored a series of books called "The Moray Series" and contributed to American Astrology magazine.
During his time in Military Intelligence, Firebrace was instrumental (in 1944) in the arrest and prosecution of Helen Duncan, a famous British spiritualist medium, under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 (which was repealed by Winston Churchill in 1951).

Pride of place goes to Charles Bukowski because he's the only modern writer i've managed to finish reading to the end every time.  |

Bukowski quit his job at the post-office to make writing his full-time career. He was then 49 years old. As he explained in a letter at the time, "I have one of two choices -- stay in the post office and go crazy ... or stay out here and play at writer and starve. I have decided to starve." Less than one month after leaving the postal service, he finished his first novel, entitled Post Office. Two years later, the couple moved from the East Hollywood area, where Bukowski had lived for most of his life, to the harborside community of San Pedro, the southernmost district of the City of Los Angeles. Bukowski and Beighle were married in 1985.

. btw, my boss has a birthday today. I'm sure we all wish him a very happy day and a heightened ability in 'the turning of the blind eye' , that is to say, we wish him 20/20 vision in real life, but on the matter allowing our friend Dara to post every now and again...  |
