DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019: This year, you move into a new direction, but you might hesitate at first. You see the benefits of planning as well as those of taking risks. If single, you meet people with ease; however, finding the right person for the type of bond you desire will take time. If attached, the two of you DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker seem to be able to work through many of your differences. Always respect new and different ideas that come from your sweetie. Use care with a budget that can often go off the rails if you listen to a SAGITTARIUS.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So- so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Events push you to the forefront. Others seek you out and want your help or feedback. Look at situations from your perspec- tive and not those of others. When exchanging SCARY GARY Mark Buford ideas, confirm the other party is getting what you’re saying. Tonight: The later it gets, the hap- pier you will be. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  One-on-one relating allows great- er understanding between you and a close friend or associate. Recognize how much this person shares with you. He or she shares not only ideas, but also optimism. Tonight: Confirm Halloween plans first. Crosswords GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  Your sensitivity monitor might be set to “High.” You listen to others and recognize that they might not be considering an issue as DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni fully as you would like. You can ask questions, but you might not be able to get past someone’s ideas, realistic or not. Tonight: Off planning your weekend. CANCER (June 21-July 22)  Toss yourself into a project. You will get a lot done with focus and a responsive attitude. You might be surprised by what some- one says. Do not hesitate to ask questions. Tonight: Visit with a friend while dealing with trick-or-treaters. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  If anyone is creative right now, it is you. Your sense of drama comes through B.C. Mastroianni and Hart when dealing with a child or a potential loved one. Meetings might be fragmented. You also might not be sure of what is said. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  Stress seems to mount if you stay around your home. You have a lot on your mind, and you find trick-or-treaters difficult to deal with. Honor a fast change of pace in the after- noon. Confusion surrounds events. Tonight: Important talks occur late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  One-on-one relating is generally easy for you. You have innate people skills. You ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie have a lot of energy, and you direct it clearly for the main good. Others might not be sure of the best path. Tonight: Out and about, visiting with a Halloweener. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  Be aware of your financial well- being. Sometimes when suppressing your feel- ings, you could go overboard with spending. Keep receipts or be ready to use your self-disci- pline. Tonight: Greet trick-or-treaters. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  Focus on events that revolve around a meeting. Others appreciate your con- cern and/or ability to follow through. You natu- ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett rally seem to know which way to turn. Others are not as sure of their direction, or they make bad choices. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Slow down during the day. Double- check your plans, and know what it is you want or expect from others. You could be disap- pointed with a close associate or loved one Take your time working through the issue. Tonight: Nap if you can, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Cryptoquip  You always seem to be a natural friend. News comes forth that could distract you ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe and force a review of a recent decision. Getting all the facts straight might not happen immedi- ately. Tonight: Decide to call it an early night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)  You might feel pressured by a boss or higher-up. A decision made today could cause you some problems. Look at what is happening but know that much more could be going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Till the wee hours.
