Happy Weird Valentine’s Day

Bertha Blair (shown) of Salinas, California lived to be 112, dying in 1988. As a centenarian, she somehow became a poster girl for Valentine's Day. She said that the secret to her longevity was "minding my own business." She didn't offer any tips on how to find true love, but did say that she wished she had been "rich rather than so good-looking."

Considering that the commemoration of Saint Valentine has gone the way of that of Jesus Christ's birth, I have a jaundiced view of the whole romance thing.

Love Stinks.
