Happy Year of the Dragon!

What is it that makes dragons so attractive? Is it the fascination of having another race on intellectual par with us (or even above us)? Think about it... smart, flying, Tyranosaurus rexes popping in and out of our lives, randomly eating people and animals and destroying parts of our lives, is a pretty horrific idea. Who would want a world with dragons? Even if I had a dragon at my beck and call (the ultimate pit bull?) I would not be at all comfortable with the arrangement. Yet I can dream of it...

But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails.
