Me: Nobody.
PRV: But who is in charge?
Me: No one. It is anarchy. It is the collective voice & will of a force of positive vibes and will. It is collective chaos that self organizes. It exists past time itself.

Please, remember to talk to your dogs about the dangers of under aged drinking.
No worries everyone, we told Flame no and kept the bottle opener away.
I don't want to alarm anyone
There is a supply chain shortage of dog names.
Just saw a kennel with a dog named Woodstove. If you're at a point where you're just naming dogs after things in your cabin, reach out for help. My team of people can assist in providing a list.
Coming from Ireland, corgis are technically eligible to run the Iditarod, being a "northern" breed.
Preparing for climate change, mushers are building cabins to keep their low riding high torque team secret, training for years without any snow.

I'll go out and say it: Anchorage's policy of an 84-hour plow out is a failure of public health policy. There have been some absolute choices being made here.
She passed away once she found a comfortable spot in her favorite place to sleep, right next to

's side of the bed. There is no way she would have had the strength to continue into the transfusions and biopsy. She got to leave surrounded by us in comfort at home.
Due to the success of musher grams, 907248MUSH will now be 1900248MUSH. Kids must get parental permission before calling. $2 for the first minute, 5 cents each additional. Proceeds will fund the entire Iditarod.

Worse then Corona, there's iditarod fever.
Symptoms include:
- loss of productivity
- anxiety
- extreme emotional highs and lows
- yelling at the live feed and tracker
- asking people if they've heard about dog
- insomnia
Lasts for 7 days and often more.
10 Commandments of Arm Chair Mushing
1. Thou shalt not panic if the GPS doesn't move. It is only a dot, and not actually the musher. There are many reasons why that dot might not move, and nothing shalt be assumed until the press release or official word from the musher's mouth.
@AmberSevart
Everytime this happens to me I just try to upsell them into a 24/7 service contract at ten times their cost and weirdly it calms most of that down
Due to national attention to the Iditarod, Starbucks considers sponsoring every checkpoint to complete it's dark mission to have a shop on every street in America. Ghost town of Iditarod is pleased.

sled dog christmas romance movie where santa's reindeer are sick & can't work so his son Nick has to go to small town Alaska to come with with an alternative solution and meets up with a stray pup that brings him to an up and coming musher who just escaped her large town law firm
I am not allowed to tell small children that if they think their baby teeth falling out is a big deal, that they should wait until their baby eyeballs fall out.
So I was at goodwill today and this woman in broken english asked me to reach this blue pillow that was definitely well above her head and I just kind of looked at it and then I got the pillow down because this is the law of the tall. She said gracias, and I said de nada.
While discouraged, mushers can offer Lyft and Uber services in each village. This really delayed the back of the pack this year.

I should make a virtual Iditarod race site where just every 14 days a new batch of numbers randomly runs across the trail and you all could watch how number 14 is resting on the trail for no particular reason what so ever for a few more hours than you expected.
It's 2021. Why don't we have Tupperware like containers that are immune to tomato sauce? I mean, we made a vaccine in a year. I feel like we're capable.
If someone at work says no to the question "do you want to see pictures of my dog(s)", you need to report that to HR because they're creating a hostile work environment.
8 (continued)
Posting your guesses, no matter how educated, only feeds everyone else's concerns and worries needlessly.
9. Thou shalt support your musher and the race.
10. Thou shalt enjoy the race.
Keep Calm and Mush On, ya'll.

People who literally got shot are the ones who were attacked.
You said words in a public forum. They are saying words back.
Fun Fact: They can be both against the shooter and your unpopular opinion at the same time. They don't have to express it at the same time.
@LGlaucomflecken
you brought him back into this world so I think legally you could just take him out if I'm to believe the legal advice of my mother when I was a child
Hate to say this but a lot of people in this hospital need a calendar and a map or something. They keep asking me what day it is and where we're at. Y'all know I'm sick right?
If you're a store suddenly respecting the Americans with disabilities act to avoid confrontation about masks... I'm going to expect much much more with your parking lots, ramps, door ways, pool lifts, and elevators. Cool?
@coldfootfilms
Togo was Pro-Vaccination.
And before people start screaming and shouting about it being antitoxin and not a vaccination - It was discovered in 1907 that giving Diphtheria Toxin and Antitoxin in monitored measured dosages would basically work as a vaccine.
Years before the run.
Iditarod fun fact: The Iditarod is perfect for introverts who hang with the dog at parties and feel the need to answer the call of the wild for about a week plus some days straight and might want to lose twenty pounds.
Ask your doctor and therapist if Iditarod might work for you
EACH MUSHER MUST MAKE A 24-HOUR STOP DURING THE RACE. THIS STOP MAY BE TAKEN AT THE MUSHERS OPTION AT A TIME MOST BENEFICIAL TO THE DOGS. EACH MUSHER MUST MAKE AN EIGHT-HOUR STOP ON THE YUKON RIVER. EACH MUSHER MUST MAKE AN EIGHT-HOUR STOP AT WHITE MOUNTAIN.

The game starts off with one of the hardest tasks you could possibly do, which is adopting sled dogs without knowing what other sled dogs are available.
So obviously... I adopted the first four dogs I met.

I'm in the phone room again tonight. Call and say hi after 6pm AST.
If you're wanting to do foreign language mushergrams, have a disability, etc that prevents you from calling. DM me. I'll see what I can do. Let's not go insane. I'm just one person.
2. Thou shalt not panic if the dot doesn't follow the path. You are not the musher, and probably not aware of any trail changes. If the dot moves in a direction that doesn't please you, there is nothing you can do about it from your armchair. They probably aren't lost.
4. Thou shalt give the musher a benefit of a doubt. They are grown adults with a GPS tracker with a magic button that calls for help. There are plenty of support personal on the trail that will check up on them, and the other mushers will surely pass them shortly.
Well,
#Uglydogs
. My shift is about over and so I guess it's time you meet my puppers.
Meet Macintosh. We call him Mac for short. (semi)retired service dog.
Doctor just came out, everything so far has gone excellent. Surgery is finished, minimal bleeding. Probably an hour or so in recovery.
High five everybody.
Heading to the hospital for surgery. Please keep me in your prayers as I am extremely anxious. Dan isn't allowed to be w/ me during pre-op bc of Covid. Just another reminder to wear your masks! It makes a difference in more ways than 1. Please send Dan pics to keep him occupied
6. Thou should pay for the GPS tracking and extra coverage before thou complains about the coverage. Thou need not beg and annoy people for screenshots unless they are ok with it.
Sounds like Monday is going to be the important surgery day. Plastic surgeons going to be looking at my chest and maybe even stitching the whole thing up
Dear Beggin Strips,
I actually believe that dogs do know its not bacon. You obviously have not spent a lot of time with a dog.
If you did, you'd know they get excited about eating all sorts of horrible tasting things including their own poop.
Iditarod Fun Fact:
Mushers enjoy the crunch and taste of Musher Chow brand nutritional nuggets for humans. It comes in 7 fun exciting colors that some even say have different flavors. Pick up a box for yourself today!
