I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

As some of you may have seen, VictoryLand in Alabama is ending its live greyhound racing. [link] What this means in practical, doggy matters, is that the rescue orgs are about to be swamped with dogs needing homes and fostering. Sure, some dogs will go to other tracks, but with the industry circling the drain, it's looking like the majority are going to be in a rehome-or-die situation.

If any of you in the Seattle/Tacoma area (lurkers and posters alike) have considered greyhound adoption or fostering, let me know at the profile address, and I can put you in touch with the organization that placed us with Daisy.

For those of you not in the Seattle/Tacoma area, I can track down the closest organization to you. The more dogs who can be placed in the next month or two, the better.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Hear Ye, Hear ye! Erin has made the following proposal that has received the required secondses:

Proposal:

A new thread for Buffistas who are in business for themselves, be it writing, freelancing or other, or those pondering it.

Thread would be clearinghouse for Buffistas business owners to have "watercooler" discussions about issues germane to running/starting a business, and also for all Buffistae to offer or seek assistance in various fields which Buffistas could offer (or at least point people in a reliable direction, if possible.)

Business spamming would NOT be acceptable practice, but persons could certainly mention services other Buffistae might be in need of.

Discuss amongst yourselves (in the voting thread).

I think we're overdue so I'm declaring tomorrow, Thursday, June 2nd as Onerous Task Day.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
