Hi all, I heard about you from a member on another atheist board ...
I'm an artist, a breast cancer survivor, I love both cats and dogs, and I've never believed in god. Any god. My parents did the heavy lifting on that. My mom grew up Lutheran, but was disgusted that they'd never answer her questions. My dad grew up Catholic, but was disgusted that they tried to limit what books he could read. My brother and I grew up without religion, and I think we're better off for it.
I used to be a software engineer, I then spend five years living and traveling in my RV (hence my username), and now I'm attempting to make a living as a fulltime artist. I love to hike, to create art, to learn new things, fantasy roleplaying, and helping greyhound adoption efforts, among other things.
I look forward to interesting conversations on life, the universe and everything.

Hello! Pull up a stool and dive in. Or design your own mixed metaphorical construct to suit.

Hiya, Traveler, and welcome. What kind of art do you do? Does it perhaps involve either bacon or cheese? What's this lump on my left shoulder?

Dang! There for moment I thought Gen. Lee's favorite horse had signed up here. 
Oh well, hi! anyway. I'm the one they will soon be warning you about.

Come think of it, it actually is on my right shoulder, after all...
