Mercury wreaks havoc/Ryn Gargulinski
In any event, our stellar tech team has tinkered with it and, as you may note again, it is now online.
Apologies for any inconvenience, but we have to blame dang Mercury.
The planet went into retrograde Sept. 7 and will continue to wreak havoc until later this month.
As noted by TC.com Paranormal Old Pueblo blogger Cherlyn Gardner Strong:
So, starting this week, if you experience car trouble on I-10, lose your keys, or experience travel mishaps, blame Mercury. If your information system goes down at work, you can hold Mercury responsible. You get the idea…

In the meantime, enjoy a calm while it lasts with Mercury on the loose.
Do you believe the planetary alignments can really foul up computers, cars and peace of mind?
Have you experienced such phenomenon? Do tell!
Mornin’ Rynski! I hate it when this happens…doggone Pluto or whatever. I believe the only planetary alignment that could affect us is one where all the planets align and smash into each other, as told in the final Mayan codex… 😉
Mornin, RadMax – Hahahah! all the planets smashing into each other would definitely put a damper on things – do more damage than a downed website, for sure! Mercury is always a mischief-maker. That’s why I prefer Venus. Pluto keeps changing its status – i.e. planet/not a planet – so I don’t pay much attention to him.
It’s Uranus.
