You know that old saying about Oakland- "there's no there, there"... Raindog was the opposite.

She had a LOT goin' on.

I haven't normally tended to get buddy-buddy with many people on DU- like, I was never really one for the lounge- and maybe that's a character flaw; I like to think I'm personable and somewhat outgoing, but I'm more of a natural loner than a social butterfly. Still, for whatever reason raindog and i struck up a friendship over the years and i found her to be a really interesting, multifaceted person. Deep. Funny as hell.

And needless to say, great taste in music.

I hope wherever she is, she's enjoying herself. And i hope she knows the giant space she left behind on DU. Not in a bad way, but... she touched a lot of lives here.
