This week, Rob tells the Gemini:

A lot of antifreeze tastes sweet even though it's toxic. That's a big problem for dogs and children, who sometimes come upon spilled or open containers of antifreeze and drink it. New Mexico is one of the first places in the world to pass a law making it mandatory for antifreeze to be bitter-tasting, thus discouraging innocents from imbibing it. This should serve as a metaphor for you in the coming week, Gemini. Your inner child or inner pet may be drawn to ingesting experiences that are delectable but noxious. Have your inner adult take steps to ensure this won't happen.

Heh. Oddly enough, so far, so good. Certainly just lately.

When last I put my car together and got it running, only to discover that I hadn’t actually fixed or even found the root of its engine troubles, I discovered something new: the exhaust smelled delicious. I seriously wanted to drink it up, it was intoxicatingly sweet. Of course that meant one more problem, antifreeze in the exhaust, which likely meant a bad head gasket. If I’d just inhaled a bit more, I probably wouldn’t need to work on my car any more! Instead, I took everything apart for a proper rebuild. Interesting that they’d mandate a bitter tasting antifreeze (which requires developing said chemical) over less-toxic chemicals (like propylene glycol, which is already used in “pet-safe” antifreeze, not to mention food and cosmetics.) I suppose this doesn’t have terribly much to do with horoscopes.

No, but I'm strongly amused by the idea of delicious-smelling exhaust :-)
