Kat and dogs
Katrina
Pawlaczyk is still in last place in the Iditarod, out there on the
trail with five mushers ahead of her. One of them, Eric Rogers, a
rookie like Kat, has been in White Mountain for six hours over the
mandatory eight already. Kat is also in White Mountain, and will
be eligible to leave the checkpoint at 3:48 this afternoon, if she and
her dogs are ready. The other four, in positions 66 through 69,
are out of White Mountain, not yet into Safety.When I went looking for more info on the new Red Lantern, I found her blog.
That’s where I stole both images. In the first, she and Lyra are
wearing the t-shirts Kat sold to raise sponsorship funds. In
addition to “standing up,” she also has shirts saying, “in the
wilderness,” and “with dogs.” The second shot shows her puppy
team on a training run.I learned that Katrina left the University of Toronto, where she was
studying biology, to mush dogs. She has been training with Lynda
Plettner, along with Ben Valks, the musher who was withdrawn from the
race because he couldn’t keep up. Plettner, Pawlaczyk and several
of their associates made this Iditarod run a benefit for autism.
The
Mushers’ Award Banquet was held on Saturday night, and various prizes
were given out. I would have some choice bits of that info here,
but the only source I found was a PDF file of the official press
release, and Acrobat isn’t working for me right now. Add that to
the continued recalcitrance of my digital camera, and you get a
frustrated me.The error message I get when I try to save photos from my old
point-and-shoot Kodak that has never given me problems before says that
an instruction at 0x73dd11c7 referenced memory at 0×00000004 and the
memory could not be read. This just might drive me into learning
how to work all the buttons and menus on the Fuji.Mercury will be retrograde until the end of this week. I intend
to try to get some more memoir segments written in that time.
Maybe I should try the camera again next week, too.

Hi sweety–loved the pics, as always. Good luck with the Fuji instructuoin manual.
Xgram–started my super-busy business day–calle Sears to reassure the fraud unit that it was really me who wrote that humonogous check, got some cash from the CU for the pony boys, will go into town later with cash for the aforementioned pb’s, and call Smoky.
Oh, and I blogged. You’ll like it, it’s vulgar and politically incorrect. And terse.
Thank you for all this information again it is great. Judi
