Hey, guys! Just wanted to say that I'll be off at a dog sled race for the next week or so, so I'll catch up with you all later!

Have fun and play nice!

Oh, and warm thoughts would be nice (of the temperature kind).

I'll be here:

That which has been established will endure even with time and at a distance.

I can't tell you anything about what happens after the cameras go off, mostly because I'm usually unconscious by then.

I'm back! I stayed pretty warm, although yesterday morning was danged cold. That was just before dawn. It warmed up a lot later.

I went to a 250 mile race about 6 hours from my house as a volunteer veterinarian. This race is an Iditarod qualifier (that's the big one in Alaska) and a really big deal for Northern Maine and Quebec, etc. I had fun brushing up on my Francais and hanging out with other vets.

Oh, and the other 'big one in Alaska' is the Yukon Quest. I'm not sure which one you meant. There are many mid-distance races in the lower 48-you just don't hear about them as much. But they have many advantages and a lot of participants, since it isn't quite such a huge expense, etc. Anyway...off I go to catch up more.

Welcome back Wabbit!!

I was hoping to be able to surprise you with a draft of the next chapter of our little fic, but it's not quite ready!

You couldn't go mush some more huskies for a while, could ya?? tongue.gif

Naw, you'd better stay in and stay warm! I'll see what I can make happen over the next few days.


Oh... who won the race? biggrin.gif

You can find the results here:

http://can-am.sjv.net/

A female Canadian won the 30 mile race.

A male Canadian won the 60 mile race.

A male Canadian won the 250 mile race.

It was a good year for Quebec.

My favorite (from Ontario) came in 9th in the 250 and his brother came in 12th in the 60 mile race, so they did alright.

If you're curious about the Iditarod, it's running now, and you can get updates at www.iditarod.com.

Back in September 2002 when Jade and I took a vacation in Alaska, we saw someone training their dog team for the races. There was no snow, so they had the team of huskies hitched to a 4-wheeler (ATV). It was way cool but I couldn't get the camera out of the bag fast enough to get a picture.

Yeah, they have dryland races, too. Using scooters, ATVs, etc.

Jamaca has a team. Seriously. You can find them online. Leave it to the Jamaicans to take things one step past bobsled.

Jimmy Buffett is a sponsor-that's how I found out about them.

Mush, mon!
