Working, even volunteer work, is taking too much of my time.  As many of you already know Karin came in under the burl arch - the finish of the Iditarod - today (well, it was Thursday when I started this) at 4:44 p.m. with 10 dogs.  She was in 40th place.  This is her slowest race at 11 days, 1 hour, 44 minutes and 48 seconds.  (Don't ask, I don't know how they figure it down to the second.)  She was in very good spirits and extremely proud of her youngest dog, Elway, whom she had put in lead position along with Cutter.

Okay, I got off duty a little over an hour ago having started 15 minutes after Karin came in.  Now they are wanting to close this building down as the last musher until tomorrow afternoon is coming in and nobody will have to stay here tonight.  Ah, the poor town kiddos what are they going to do?  They usually hang out here for much of the night.  Where are the parents?! 

Will try to get pictures in tomorrow.  Maybe, maybe I can find a connection at the hotel.
