Thanks for the welcome! And don't worry, the context was totally clear. I just love that new appellation the dude who posted before you granted me. I wear all parts of that label proudly, in fact. But, good gravy, did you actually think that Google stock image was ME?! Looks like she could be one of Romney's granddaughters, I think - you know, maybe how she kills time between dressage competitions, or something.
I tend to stick to music threads, but I'll read back in this one during those pesky moments when I'm feeling less frivolous, maybe wade back in with my Leftie Los Angeles Wacko POV.
Oh, for what it's worth, the dog is my favorite animal. Pretty Wacko, right? As birds go, I do find magpies a good bit more interesting than eagles. Glad there's no House Committee on Un-American Activities to which one of my fellow vapers might report me for that preference!
