I met Robin Sneed here on OS like we meet so many people. It was during the first wimmens pirate insurrection which happened as a result of me taking over OS for a weekend. Some may remember... it was a rough weekend for yours truly. I was eventually blogged into submission and had to defer to the power of the wimmens, which is maybe how the universe meant for it to be all along.
Then a while later I actually met Robin at Mary T Kelly's OS gathering in Boulder. I was the one that picked her up at her friends there and drove her to Mary and Nicks.. we then became "real" friends and hung at for hours in the tree house and partied with a bunch of cool OSers and Marys local friends. Joan Walsh had an emergency that came up and couldn't make it which made me cry but I digress.
Robin has had some hard times recently which precipitated a sudden move to South Dakota. She seems to be doing well there and enjoying herself at a hunting club (see her blog for details, it's a happenin' place).
I've had Robin on my mind and just wanted to say hello. Hi Robin! Many of you know Robin too and I invite you to leave a message or a hello here in comments. I'm pretty sure she'll see this, well, I'll make sure of it.
Robin, this songs for you... and I have some farm animals for ya too since you've been living on the farm and all.
Fired up pistons drivin' below
And the whole vibration, seat upholstery
Silky underwear, oh conductor let's roll
Let's roll!
Baby got goin' but I can't complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange,
It's like a Big Mac truck cut across two lanes in my soul
Conductor, let's throw the pedal down, roll!
Let's roll!
Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'
Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'
Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'
Baby got goin' when the train kept a rollin'
Squeeze her knees underneath a book, you know
A real good shakin' is all it took
Cause my baby's hooked on me
And as you can see I'm wild about her!
She got goin' but I can't complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange
It's like a Big Mac truck cut across two lanes in my soul
Conductor let's throw some metal down, roll! Let's roll!
She gets mad when it goes too slow,
So I'm beggin' you man keep a-shovelin' that coal and let's roll!
Let's roll

Robin is just terrific and a swell writer. Thanks for putting this up here, Trig, and giving me -- and everyone else -- a chance to tell her that.
Sirenita. Prey=Lunch Animal? LMAO
I wasn't sure if that animal was a llama or an alpaca (I'm thinking alpaca) so I thought sweater animal would work.
:)
South Dakota ain't no North Dakota, but it's close.

You know I love Robin (and trigger, too;)
