    I run when my knees and ankles aren't bothering me too much. Generally 3-5 miles a few times a week. Getting into it more now that I'm in the mecca. And really just a fan of most sports so love following the big competitions like indoor nationals (or wrestling championships this weekend :fap:)

    And the finish line is in sight. Brent Sass has a commanding lead on Dallas Seavey leaving the second to last checkpoint. Brent has 54 miles to Nome whereas Dallas has 77. At ~8 mph pace that's a 3 hour lead. Something catastrophic would have to happen to Brent for Dallas to over take him. But recent history has provided proof it's possible. In 2014, Jeff King (huge asshole) had an hour lead in this stretch where his team quit on him. And Brent himself knows about these perils as in 2016 when he was in 3rd place and on Dallas' tail, his dogs refused to leave the White Mountain checkpoint just 77 miles from the finish.

    Brent is likely the best musher, Dallas has the best kennel/stable of dogs. Both good guys.

    They get a fucking full 8 hours rest at the checkpoint?
    Why didn't Seavey leave an hour or two before on less rest?
    (I know nothing about the Iditarod, just curious)

    yeah not really. After reading those I wonder though if women think nurses are chronically underpaid like teachers, or paid similarly. Because I definitely don’t make that little.

    They are required to take a 24 and an 8 hr rest wherever they want. They also require an additional 8 hr rest at White Mountain (this past checkpoint). For the health and safety of the dogs.

    Been at my current place for 5 years, yard is regularly visited by a large possum. I was zoned out on the treadmill and realized that although I think of this as a singular animal it’s probably something like a dozen separate critters. And the original is years past death.

    I have fed several possums on my back deck for about the same amount of time. They're actually really cute. I'm figuring their life spans are only like 3 years in the wild but that's based on nothing.

    Yeah, maybe don’t do this.

    Opossums carry diseases such as leptospirosis, tuberculosis, relapsing fever, tularemia, spotted fever, toxoplasmosis, coccidiosis, trichomoniasis, and Chagas disease. They may also be infested with fleas, ticks, mites, and lice. Opossums are hosts for cat and dog fleas, especially in urban environments.

    I’ve worn glasses since I was 8. They are part of my identity other than sleeping I’ll wear glasses. About 4-5 years I had to get progressives. It was a kick in the balls. Luckily you can’t tell because they no longer have that “line/break” that they used to.
