Let there be light....

Okay, so I was wrong about the whole daylight thing. Wishful thinking I guess. Apparently, it won't be till the middle of April that my morning commute (6:30am) will be in daylight. This weekend's time change will just make matters worse. But it will be light later in the evening which, in Stephen's opinion, is a bonus. That means his walks with Lotta Bit won't be in the dark and he can even swing by the archery range after work and shoot a few rounds on his way home.

It's 5:30am right now, and wouldn't you know it... still dark outside. But I've got to get ready to go to work. Alicia May still has a cough, but she seems to be improving.

We're up to 14 mushers who've scratched from the Iditarod. They're saying on the news that this year's trail is one of the worse they've seen for difficulty. I think they've hit some very bad weather with a lot of wind and temps (with wind chill) dropping to -55 or -60. Some frostbite, busted up sleds, and busted up mushers are doing battle in the Alaska bush as I type. The race is certainly not for the faint of heart.
