Wednesday, July 16, 2008
With wildfires scorching lands and burning down homes from California to Carbondale in recent years, homeowners - and insurance companies - are finally taking matters into their own hands.

Aspen Club and Spa co-owner Michael Fox paints the proposal to build 20 timeshare condos and 12 affordable housing units on the club's 5-acre site as an innovative business plan that will bring sustainable building and holistic tourism to the east end of Ute Avenue.

  • Aries
    • Let your mind spin out, and ideas will come up. You simply know how to deal with others. Reach for the stars, and make sure you are getting everything you want and more. Your attitude renews, and you feel revitalized. Tonight: Some soul-searching.

  • Taurus
    • You might feel that someone has put you on the spot. You have ideas. Others look at you with renewed interest, as you seem to bring the impossible into the world of possibility. Open up to new ideas. Tonight: A meeting might be important!

  • Gemini
    • Take in new views. Seek out an expert, or certainly someone who has a very different point of view. If you do, you could be surprised by what emerges. The more open you are, the better or more together a plan, project or investment can be.

  • Cancer
    • Investigate and understand rather than push. Your ability to see another point of view, especially financially, will help you open up. Checking out ideas with someone in the know proves to be helpful. Tonight: Drop the word "no" from your vocabulary.

  • Leo
    • You might want to revitalize and open up a situation rather than push quite so hard. How you see a personal matter could be very different or dynamic, and others tap into your perspective and/or knowledge. Tonight: Time for a favorite person.

  • Virgo
    • You know what you can get done, if no one interferes with you. The real question is: Will you be able to do just that? We certainly hope so! Later, meetings and interpersonal matters are highlighted. Know that anything can happen if you believe it. Tonight: Socialize the night away, and it's only Monday!

  • Libra
    • Allow more creativity into the many different facets of your life. You might be surprised by what emerges if you just let go -- as hard as that might seem. Relax with the moment, knowing full well you will need to make up for lost time. Tonight: The wise will call it an early night.

  • Scorpio
    • Coming out of your shell could take more than just talent. Consider everything you can and will accomplish if you simply let go. Investigate what needs to happen within your immediate circle. Tonight: You know much more than you realize.

  • Sagittarius
    • Fatigue marks your mood more than you realize, especially as day fades to sunset. You might want to rethink your perspective and approach an issue in a new manner. Tonight: Think about calling it an early night.

  • Capricorn
    • You might want to rethink a tie or connection, especially as you will get ahead. The unexpected occurs out of the blue. You might push someone, assuming you are right. Tonight: Do not push or shove.

  • Aquarius
    • Keep communication popping. You are willing to revise an idea or make a major needed swing if you can wrap your mind around a situation. Think positively about a money matter. Tonight: Pay bills.

  • Pisces
    • Feeling snaillike this morning, by the afternoon you might be weighing the pros and cons of a situation. Someone gets jittery as a result. You want results. Tonight: Are you tired?
