No one I voted for won anything – that’s par for the course.

After reading Donald Trump predicts riots if denied Republican nomination: “In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Trump said if he got a large number of delegates yet was denied the nomination: “I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically. I think you’d have riots. I think you’d have riots. I’m representing many, many millions of people.””

I think this little story sums up the Republican primary battle.

[Note: it’s from Australia where all of the native wildlife will kill you. Take away the eucalyptus leaves for a few hours and see how ‘cuddly’ koalas are when sober.]

I might disappear for a while.

I’m moving some equipment today and my ISP may not do what it’s supposed to do, which will leave me off line. They say that it will be seamless, but I doubt that’s true.

Update: Things seem to be working… hopefully for a while.

Ellen and the Red Lantern are beyond Nulato this morning as almost two dozen teams look forward to a hot shower and a bed.

If you want to see some really pretty puppies, Rob Cooke (56) & Lisbet Norris (7) are running all Siberian teams.
