General Daily Insight for September 03, 2023
We can all bask in the good life today. The Moon in Aries will start off with a square to Pluto before diving into Taurus and taking a gentler approach. Later, a lunar sextile to karmic Saturn gives us the urge to make the day count. Most wonderfully, Venus will turn direct in Leo at 9:20 pm EDT, waking up from a six-week retrograde phase and bringing her magic back to life once more. It’s finally time to get what we want.

BOCA RATON — Nebraska transfer Casey Thompson threw five touchdown passes, one of them a 72-yard hookup with Tony Johnson, and Florida Atlantic routed Monmouth 42-20 on Saturday night to usher in the Tom Herman era.
Thompson, who also played at Texas, where Herman was his coach, completed 20 of 25 passes for 280 yards. His five TD passes match the school record.
Johnson caught two touchdown passes, the highlight being when he caught a ball over the middle, broke a couple of tackles and outraced the defense to the end zone for the 72-yard touchdown. Ja’Quan Burton also had two touchdown catches.

If you want to trace the end of COVID as a life-altering menace in South Florida to a single moment, it would be shortly after 8 p.m. on May 13, 2021, when Jimmy Buffett strode onstage at Old School Square in downtown Delray Beach.
Looking relaxed and tanned, in the unofficial uniform of South Florida — tropical shirt and khaki shorts — Buffett’s arrival induced an immediate standing ovation from a wildly expectant crowd of folks from across the country sequestered in pod seating on that early summer evening.
It was the first of four Buffett concerts and the first locally by any superstar...
WASHINGTON — Garrett Hampson hit a two-run homer to cap a four-run rally in the 11th inning, and the Miami Marlins defeated the Washington Nationals 8-5 on Friday night.
Miami (68-67) moved over .500 with its second straight win over the Nationals. The Marlins entered the game three games back of San Francisco in the race for the NL’s third and final wild-card spot.
CJ Abrams, Lane Thomas and Travis Blankenhorn hit solo homer for Washington, which has lost three in a row for the first time since a five-game skid July 3-7. The Nationals have dropped five of their last six.

There’s pleasure to be found if we take the time to look for it. The Moon in Aries is driving us along, but an odd angle to the Sun in Virgo could remind us of our responsibilities, whether or not we want to deal with them. A pleasant mood will prevail when the Moon trines Venus in Leo at 5:19 am EDT, setting us up for more exciting things. A final lunar quincunx to Mercury will require a little extra analysis on our part.

MIAMI GARDENS — Year 2 of the Mario Cristobal Era started with a bang.
Three plays into the game, Hurricanes quarterback Tyler Van Dyke connected with wide receiver Colbie Young for a 44-yard touchdown on a screen pass. UM was off and running from the first drive, opening the season with a 38-3 victory over Miami (Ohio) at Hard Rock Stadium on Friday.
The Hurricanes’ offense did not score with quite as much speed as the first half went on, having to settle for three field goals as drives stopped in the red zone in the first half. But the offense picked back up in the second half and finished...

It was far from a perfect performance, but UCF was efficient in its season opener, rolling past Kent State, 56-6 Thursday night at FBC Mortgage Stadium.
The win was the perfect way for the Knights to start their first season in the Big 12 vs. a nonconference opponent.
Quarterback John Rhys Plumlee accounted for four touchdowns but had three turnovers as UCF (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) amassed 723 yards of offense against the Golden Flashes (0-1, 0-0 MAC). It was the most yards in a game since the Knights totaled 737 yards against Temple on Oct. 13.

TORONTO (AP) — Canada this week updated its travel advisory to the U.S., warning members of the LGBTQ+ community that some American states have enacted laws that may affect them.
The country’s Global Affairs department did not specify which states, but is advising travelers to check the local laws for their destination before traveling.
“Since the beginning of 2023, certain states in the U.S. have passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender-affirming care and from participation in sporting events,” Global Affairs...
