Your opinions, please, re the Iditarod and photo links.
My husband and I will be attending the start of the Iditarod this weekend, and then we're going out to Nome next week (for a week) for the finish. I will be taking a bunch of pictures, I'm sure, and posting a new gallery on my website.

I remember when I posted a story about the Jamaican musher who was running the Yukon Quest (which ended up here after I had posted in GD), somebody mentioned that certain people on this forum don't think mushing is a "sport."

My question is, do you guys want me to post a link here to my photos when I get them up? One thing I know for sure is that I WON'T be posting the link in the Lounge because I get in a fight with the PETA people every year. Just let me know your thoughts -- the link will be in the Photo Group, in any event.

ed. And just because I like your attitude so much, I might post the link in the Lounge, after all, and hope PETA doesn't like it. :evilgrin:

7. Cool. I just donated $10 to PETA in your name.
I know it's not much, mind you. But I thought you might appreciate the gesture. Hope you have a good time at the "sporting" event.

more of a sport than NASCAR is and it gets plenty of coverage on the sports board.

I would love to see your photos, it has been four years since I have seen snow on the ground...and the last time may just have been a snow cone someone dropped. It's hard to tell in Texas.

4. I'll look at them
but I don't really see the need to go out of your way to attack PETA.

5. They attacked me first.

Not so much last year, but year before last I got slammed for merely showing pictures of the dogs, not even in harness. It made me a little defensive. But if it makes you feel better, I retract my snark.

6. You can put them up here.
We talk horse racing when the triple crown comes up so mushing is fine in this forum. I'd be interested in seeing the pictures.

8. Please feel free to post them here! Other than one or two here
I think the rest of here would enjoy them!

Thanks!
