Six inches of fresh snow yesterday and more on the way. This means that the World Sled Dog Championship races won’t be cancelled this year. The success of the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous pretty much depends on these races. When there isn’t much snow (like this year), they are cancelled. Since it now coincides with the start of the Iditarod, it’s a huge economic boost for the downtown area.
Every year, PETA gets their panties in a twist over the whole affair, claiming cruelty to the dogs. Their campaigns border on the hysterical, but they usually don’t dare to actually show their faces here. I’m sure they were just all warm and fuzzy over the very real possibility of a no-go this year. Well, IN YOUR FACE, assholes! God hates you.
Susan just does color commentary these days. She’s pretty much out of the actual racing game. Dee Dee Jonrowe is still very much a contender in the distance runs, though, having overcome breast cancer to continue racing.
Last Sunday, the PETAoids were here in Murfreesboro, picketing the local KFC.
They tried to block the driveway.
That lasted until a semi driver who loved chicken came in from the Interstate. He hit them with a blast from his horns, & barely slowed.
They scattered like birds, & then everybody just blew past em.
While driving out, a couple of people threw their mashed potatos at them, which I regard as needlessly cruel. Have you ever put those things in your mouth? BLEUGH!
I’m a proud hummus-eater, and I will not be lumped in with PETA or any other bunch of wackos! My spiced chickpea tendancies are no grounds for you to slander my name and baselessly associate me with the fucknuttery of the world!
(BTW, I have two Pembroke Welsh Corgis who would be more than happy to plow little furrows of snow with their chests to bite some PETA freak’s feet, as long as someone was there to pick them up when their little paws get cold.)
