I finding this race interesting to watch from a distance. Of the 9 front runners, one is a rookie ( a woman, Abbie West ) and she is holding her own against the vetern racers. I hope she continues to do well and better her standing in this race. The front runners sure like to run in the dark.
And than there seems to be a couple, at the back of the pack, just enjoying the senery. But they still have all their dogs in the race.
I noticed, That there is a team from Switzerland, and two teams from Belguim.
Watching this race, brings back some memories for me. When I and 11 others went dog shelding and camping under the stars, for 10-14 days. Celebrating new years day in the bush. This trip was in the forest on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. I was in grade 11 at the time.
Thanks Eyes. Now I have the web site to follow how the race is going. I looked at some of the pictures of the last years race. Some nice country up there. This is one race, that just finishing makes mushers and their dog teams a winner.
Red meat can kill you??????????? You're supposed too kill it first. Drinking can kill you. BBBBBBBBBBut not drinking, can kill you too. (Damm water) Now sex can kill you!!!!!!!! Well, we all have to die of something.
This virous can fall from the sky, and blow in the wind too.
Just may have to resort to: Host-Onboard-Memory-Erase Before-Removing-Entertainment-Worm (HOME BREW) Must be used with caution, a liberal portion of this, will make you totally useless for work, (for a few days anyway) and unable to partake in any recreation also.
There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally and by hand.
This virus is called Worm-Overloaded-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.
If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take 2 good friends to the nearest pub. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE).
The quickest acting WINE type is called Swift-Hitting-Infiltrator-Remover-All-Zones (SHIRAZ), but this is only available for those who can afford it. The next best equivalent is Cheapest-Available-System-Killer (CASK). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
Forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life. This virus is DEADLY (Destroys-Every-Available-Decent-Living-Youngster).
Update 05-01-2009: After extensive testing it has been concluded that Best-Equivalent-Extractor-Remedy (BEER) may be substituted for WINE, but may require a more generous application.
I cannot begin to think, how non-drinkers can cope with these solutions.
WATER does not seem to spell out anything helpful, so don't bother.
That's because, you have your mailbox blocked to all that lives outside your area. Scammers will never be from your hometown. They always live at least, a couple provinces away.
Block all mail from far away.
Than again maybe not, it also blocks protential friends from away.
Around here, it wouldn't be hard to find a dozen men over the age of forty, who have never married. And they all work hard for a living, and all are self imployed.
You have two cows, politicians, animal rights groups, city people all get government grants, to form committies. One committee to decide how you should look after the cows. Another committee to decide how you should milk the cows. Another committee to decide how the milk is to be handled and sold. Another committee to decide how to handle all the manure the cows produce.
After all the money has been spent on committees, the cows have gone dry, you have gone broke, feeding the cows and getting nothing in return.
You get two more cows, as compensation, you than ignore the government and all the committees, drink some of the milk and sell the rest to your nieghbours. And if any damm government official, or any any animal rights person comes on your farm, you send the dogs after them.
I can and do drive a vehicle with a standard transmission. I actually prefer the standard transmission. Growing up on a farm, I had the oppertunity to learn and had to learn how to drive with a standard. (the farm grain truck) But, because of the popularity of the automactic, most in north america never had the oppertunity to learn on a standard, and would be in trouble if they had to drive a standard. Now even the semi-trucks can have auto-mactic transmissions.
If it is about some event. I probably spew out a lots of words, venting my frustration.
If it because some cow kicked me. There probably be alot of @@@@, ****, %%$%$ words , and the cow will probably get a good hit with something.
But if it is a person that upset me. I probably, will bottle it up internally. Experiance has taught me, if too much gets bottled up for too long, it will explode out somehow, and you might not want to be around for that.
RE: mosquitoes
Damm you Gordy.You had to go ruin a perfect winter day by mentioning mosquito. I don't even like those little blood suckers in the summer time.
