again?

Wanna know whats happening with the Iditarod...well me too...that is why I am still up. Reading the official Iditarod site news releases I have been informed that if you have two dogs in the basket of your sled...and they are sitting on the GPS tracking device, the signal will be disrupted and lost. It also appears that quite frequently the musher's are out of the satellite area and one must be sure to check the time their signal was last transmitted. So on that note I now know how these mushers cover several miles in minutes...I must remember to check the time. It does appear that Lance raced right through McGrath about twenty minutes ago....Jeff King and Kjetil Backen right behind him...there is a prize award to the first musher to make it to McGrath...wonder who has it? Wish the official web site were a bit faster in their postings... So with the race a third of the way over it does not appear that any of the mushers have taken their mandentory rest...I hear that Ophir is famous for their pies and quite frequently the choice of lay over spots...located just a few miles from McGrath... Wonder what kind of pies...mmmm....I like pie. So it is 40 degrees at 11:30pm here in LA...rain flowing down the icy road in front of my house...maybe it will be pavement in the morning...or maybe it will be snow...Either way...it will be a mess.
