WINDING DOWN THE IDITAROD REPORTING....I'll be winding down my reporting on the Iditarod tomorrow. As I was looking over the last of the article that I might want to share with you I came across this report. Beth Bragg is editoralizing her frustration over the lack of reporting of Lance Mackey's victory in the lower 48.
When I lived in El Paso I used to say it was a great place to live if you thought of it as part of New Mexico but a big frustration if you thought of it as part of Texas bacause it was so far away from "Texas." Multiply that by a thousand when you think of Alaska in relation to the United States! Just for example, I was placing an order the other day and the shipping was $4.99 until I put my Alaska address in-then it went up to $22.99-more than the actual cost of the item! If the web site says "free shipping" and you enter an Alaska address you quickly learn that does not apply to Alaska. On-line shopping is not very practical up here. That is just an example. Today's gripe...
By the way, Clint Warnake pulled into Nome in position 34 and Cindy Galena is out of Elim.

I for one will start spreading the news of Iditarod excitement down here in Texas. If we can get into Nascar, which is just a bunch of cars driving in circles really, surely we can get into an 1100 mile race across wild frontier. I think alot of it has to do with lack of information... Most people in San Antonio wouldn't even know what the Iditarod is!
