No, the Iditarod was not created to honor the delivery of diphtheria serum to Nome.
I agree, but arguably if they don't understand socializing risk they surely won't understand Medicare for All.

It's so nice to be out!

Depends on a few things - it only takes a few generations to breed some characteristics out. And I've had dogs with zero interest in pulling. But in general, yes - I've been really moved by how young dogs just lean into their harnesses and head down the trail.

I always picked up some crud at IETF meetings, so I just called it “I’m home from the IETF”

And skiing, of course! And fly tying. I love winter a lot but my #1 recreation thing now that I'm no longer running dogs is definitely fishing. Ponds are freezing up late here this year so the ice isn't safe for ice fishing yet. Usually we're on it by late October

August through October 2025 also the warmest on record for the Arctic. Amazingly, more than one third of the entire Arctic had a top-three warmest early autumn season. #akwx #Arctic #Climate

A friend found one of those on her way down the Happy River Steps, and thought "Who the fuck brings one of these on the Iditarod?" Another friend was camped at the bottom of the steps and was, like, "Hey, you found my skirt!"

My FB memories from late October are full of ice fishing photos. Sigh.
