Valentine's Day!

[furtech]

Happy Valentine's Day, particularly to those of you lucky enough to have an SO to spend it with! Despite my singular status, I have no antipathy for the day. V's-day is still my second favorite holiday (after Halloween). Mind you, the day would be a LOT more enjoyable with an SO, but still...

My border collies are wonderful in most every way; the one area they fall short in is in the romance department. Romance for a border collie is apparently a big, meaty bone for each and a putrid fish carcass to roll in and set the mood. They -did- help me dig out gophers in the hillside earlier while I was planting some oak seedlings, but aside from dogwalk, that's about it for today!



What this means is I'd better quit perusing pointless online-dating sites (where everybody wants someone they can't have and pretends to be someone they aren't) and get active in some local groups. Maybe I can fulfill my resolution to do more training with R0ndo and Apache -and- meet more people! The trick is finding someone in the mundane world who watches equal parts of Cartoon Network and Animal Planet, thinks SDCC is neat AND enjoys speculating whether the tail of a giant, rubber monster in a Toho pic was tube-formed or carved...

I should tell you the story of how I met Crocuta, it's not what you would of imagined! I spent Valentine's day (and all day yesterday) selling rats. At least some people got a new friend for Valentine's day.

You should start up a border collie hiking group on meetup.com for SoCal. There's on in Seattle and one in Sac.

The mating habits of the Hyena are fascinating, yet better un-observed. Kind of like Politics and Sausage-Making.

I've thought about forming a group, but it gets down to "in my copius spare time" problems. I really think that Hashing would be cool (there's a great group in Singapore that does this), but again: time.
