The Metal Tiger Natural Foods Co-Op
(The year of the Metal Tiger lasts until Feb 14 2011 and during this time our food co-op will be born.  I like the strong fiesty attributes assigned to the Metal Tiger (useful for a start-up these days):http://www.tuvy.com/entertainment/horoscope/metal_tiger.htm.  It might be a good personality to invoke by naming the new co-op: A strong painting or silhouette of a mountain lion (indigenous to ourarea) would be a positive mascot.  Here's some banter about the mountain lion as totem animal:http://wolfs_moon.tripod.com/cougartotem.html)
