Morning all. A last word on Iditarod. The final musher, Magnus Kaltenborn, received the Red Lantern award on Saturday morning at 11:13 am for being the last team to complete Iditarod. He took 52nd place. A total of 15 teams scratched, including Jim Lanier, the oldest musher in this year’s race (77) and the one with the all-white dog team. Jim lost the trail in a blizzard and was hypothermic and near death when rescued. He was flown to Nome by helicopter and is now doing okay. Search and Rescue on snowmachines brought his dog team to Nome.
Here is a nice two and a half minute video of the whole race:

Here’s a little more about what happened to Jim Lanier. Thank goodness for his friend, Scott Janssen (aka “The Mushing Mortician”). All the lovely Iditarod videos convey some sense of the vast grandeur of the race across Alaska, but often don’t convey the stark reality: the bottom line is that it is just you and your dog team out there in a huge wild Arctic environment, taking every brutal thing that Mother Nature can throw at you. And surviving it, or not. No musher has ever died on Iditarod, but it sounds like Jim came close. Thank God he did not.

Shows the need to buy one of those emergency beacons – just push the button and a distress message goes out and pinpoints your location. Owning one might mitigate creepy irony of having a mortician for a pal on a dangerous ride.

It looks like they had one.
“Someone eventually pushed the help button on Lanier’s GPS tracker, signaling to race officials in Nome that they needed assistance…. Zappa had gone on to the Safety checkpoint in order to send help back to Lanier. The decision to do so was incredibly difficult, she said.
” ‘I didn’t know how hypothermic he was,’ she said. ‘I’ve been going over in my head a lot. Did I do the right thing? It’s kind of been difficult for me. I kind of wish I had just pressed the button for him.’ ”
My level of understanding……does not understand why on earth she didn’t push the button for him when she left him there?? Obviously I don’t know enough to criticize the choice, but I sure don’t understand leaving someone in a deteriorating condition when there was provision present to immediately call for help.
TundraPA – am I missing something? Was this a mistake on Zappa’s part?
Is there some kind of “code of the trail” to tells them not to set rescue in motion, just in case the person ends up recovering enough to resume the race?
LikeLiked by 1 person
This brings me to the point where now that I know he had ‘the button’ why delay pushing the button and putting you and your dogs in danger? Agreed on this one.

Sharon, I responded below about the emergency button and the GPS locator before I saw your comment to czar.
Here is what I understand happened. Jim Lanier got blown off the trail during a blizard between the checkpoints of White Mountain and Safety, which is 22 miles from the finish. Other mushers got blown off too, just not as far off; they went by where Jim could see them but not be heard over the roaring wind. Monica came upon him with all his dogs in a tangled mess and tried to help.
A dog team in a tangled mess can be incredibly difficult to get untangled, straightened out, and ready to move forward again. Even without a blizzard, which at this point was still going on. It usually requires unhooking a bunch of dogs completely (who may be piled on each other, injured, scared, and fighting), getting the gangline stretched back out (usually 40+ feet at this point in the race), dogs rehooked up and aimed in the right direction. This is a huge effort, even for someone who is not hypothermic, whose hands are not numb from the cold, and whose dogs are docile and cooperative.
In the midst of trying to help Jim accomplish this, Monica’s dogs popped the snow hook and took off down the trail. She had no choice but to immediately go running after them (praying, I’m sure, that the hook would take a fortuitous bounce and land prongs down with enough force to stop the team until she could catch up). She didn’t have time to discuss pushing his emergency button for him, she had to race after her dogs. By the time she caught her team again, the choice would be whether to turn them around and go back to help Jim, or just go on the remaining distance to Safety checkpoint and send help back for him.
Turning a dog team around without help is another huge job. It is not like making a quick U-ie in your car. Disaster can occur while reversing a team, especially when they are excited and riled up from having just been loose. Her dogs may have also been tangled by the time she caught up with them. Dogs can die in tangles. Her decision to go on to Safety and send help back may very well have been the best one she could make.
Trail etiquette is that you don’t push another musher’s emergency beacon, thus scratching him from the race, without his consent–unless he is unconscious. Working with Jim in the blizzard to try to untangle his dogs, she may not have been able to assess his level of disorientation due to the hypothermia; and he may not–at that point–have been hypothermic enough to be showing effects of it.
Jim was incredibly lucky that Scott managed to find him, and stayed with him. Why they didn’t push the emergency button at that point, when they were able to call Scott’s family on his satellite phone, I can’t imagine. Hypothermia is the only explanation I can think of; they just weren’t thinking right. Fortunately someone finally did.

Thank you for unpacking that – the reality of those conditions simply is what it is and they obviously did the best they could at the moment. I’m so glad he and Scott both survived and are doing well.

Forgot to add, in my long answer Sharon: Monica Zappa was also functioning in a somewhat compromised state. Every musher at this point is exhausted and sleep-deprived, so not making the best on-the-spot decisions. We don’t know how long she was with Jim, trying to help him (and observing his level of functioning), before her team took off. When your team takes off, you instantly react and go after them. Was it a mistake on Zappa’s part? It sounds like Jim was still ok at that point, and got worse later.

Like anyone who loves something, I can talk endlessly about dog mushing if someone asks. There is so incredibly much to it, and so much that you would never just intuit if you have not done it. Most movie portrayals of mushing are not at all accurate, so most people have no exposure to the real thing (and just watching the start or finish of a race is NOT the real thing). Anyway, thanks for listening to my long-winded explanations, and for asking questions.

Every Iditarod sled has an emergency button installed on it, and a GPS locator which is used to monitor each team’s progress. Pushing the emergency button means Search and Rescue will come to get you, and you are automatically out of the race if they do.
GPS locators started being used about a decade ago. After a 1-race trial of putting it on a deozen or so sleds (Aliy’s was one), the next year it was required on every sled. It completely changed the way fans could follow the Iditarod. Before, all we could watch was the order of arriving at and leaving checkpoints, and the times they did so. Most of the interesting stuff happened between the checkpoints and was invisible to those not on the trail. GPS opened a whole new world of knowledge about how the race transpired on a minute-by-minute basis.
The emergency beacon was added a few years later. In this case, it saved Jim Lanier’s life, and likely Scott Janssen’s also. And they were only 22 miles from the finish line.

With the wind and snow, he lost sight of his lead dog.
Janssen worked on untangling the dogs. He took his gloves off to do so and they blew away in the wind. Lanier was starting to freeze at that point, and so were the men’s corneas.
“It took quite awhile to get to that conclusion. It was after many failed attempts to get going again,” Lanier said. “At one point, Scott said, ‘I’m not going to leave you here, Jim.’ And for that, I was grateful.”
“I said, if we lose our fingers we’ll make necklaces out of them,” Janssen said. “And (Lanier) said, ‘What?!’ And I said, then if people say, ‘You lost your fingers,’ we can say, ‘No I didn’t, they’re right here!’ Here we sat there facing death in the face, and we were able to laugh at different times.”
Then, out of the storm came three people on fat bikes.
“I have no idea what their names are,” Janssen said, “but they stopped and they came over and they catch us two mushers spooning in the snowstorm and they said, ‘Can we help in any way?’ “
Amazing.
Really amazing. Thank you Tundra.

A small hole in the fingertip of a glove can mean frost bite and the ultimate loss of all or part of a finger. Scott and every musher knows you never put your gloves down, never, never, never, even if the wind is not blowing. Example of how they just weren’t thinking right. If you have to get your hand out of the glove for a moment for dexterity, you hold the glove in your teeth or stuff it in a pocket until you quickly put it back on. The big fur musher’s mitts that go over the gloves are tied together by a long string that goes around your neck so you can take them off and “drop” them to kneel on them or twist them together behind your back to get a chore done. Bare skin freezes in under 3 minutes in the conditions they were in.

Good Morning Transporter of Tastes, and thanks for breakfast! Good Morning Good Stellars!
“I was beginning to taste it. Something bitter, but warm.
A flavor that woke me up and let me see things clearly. A flavor that made me feel safe, so I could let those things go. A flavor that held my hand and walked me across to the other side of loss, and assured me that one day, I would be just fine. A flavor for a change of heart- part grief, part hope.
Suddenly, I knew what that flavor would be. I padded down to the kitchen and cut a slice of sour cream coffee cake with a spicy underground river coursing through its center, left over from an order that had not been picked up today.
One bite and I was sure. A familiar flavor that now seemed utterly fresh and custom-made for me.
Cinnamon.

I’m not replacing the room or cabinet doors because they are solid wood, and too expensive to replace even with junk.
HOW DID YOU CLEAN & PAINT THE RECESSED CORNERS – without getting globs of paint in the corners? That is why I have not attempted to fix the ugliness.
The house I grew up in was Georgian with that style white trim, so that is what I find attractive. I also find it harder to choose wall colors I like with that pumpkin color.

I have matched old plaster molding finishes in the old mansion of a US senator, replicated European finishes on antique doors to get new ones to match them, I do plaster walls (Venetian plaster is always my favorite thing to do) and I do a lot of distressed finishes, especaily on cabinets. I have painted floor cloths, stenciled walls, cabinets, floors, and furniture, and in my own home used glazes to match existing tongue and groove ceilings with new boards that had to be replaced after a fire. I also do pretty good with metallic finishes, and aging metal ballusters on stairs, things like that.

WOW! That’s great! It sounds like a lot of fun too 🙂 What talent! Maybe you could post some of your more interesting job pics on a more current day. I’m sure everyone would like to see them.
Too bad you’re so far away, I’d love to have your expertise on my horrid kitchen cabinets! I really wanted them just barely off white with a super pale, clear green (so pale, you would not recognize as green) glaze over the top. I think I’m just going to clean them really good, sand, and repoly where the light patches are. I really dislike them dark walnut, it makes the room too dark, but there is too much else to do here at the money pit that takes priority. We lost most of our possesions due to mold in a rental so we have about 6 pieces of unfinished pine furniture and some odd other new pieces that we need to paint a similar color to tie them together. I also want to spray paint some light fixtures this summer. I may just land up painting the walls white, and paying someone to paint the ceilings. I don’t think my neck could handle being at the angle needed to paint upwards.
“I keep replying to this comment because there is no reply button on your question down below” Yes I do the same thing. I don’t know what else to do.
Post some pics of your work on a current day – I’d love to see them! 🙂

Truth is if you look at it and all of its related terms it’s exactly what US politicians do…actually what ALL politicians do, it’s just that the MSM has used the Russian words vice the standard English ones to give their anti-Trump reporting a more sinister Russian flavor. Talk about lacking candor…

Hi everyone, just missed morning, so afternoon 🙂 Lucille & I have ESP today. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival is coming up, so I planned on cherry blossoms this week!
The Japanese have been having celebrations, called hanami (meaning “watching blossoms”), for the symbolic cherry blossoms for thousands of years. In Japan the cherry blossoms, or sakura, symbolize the cycle of life, death and rebirth.
In 1910 2,000 cherry trees were donated to Washington, D.C. in the name of the city of Tokyo. They were meant to honor the burgeoning relationship between the two nations, as well as to symbolize the renewal of spring and the ephemeral nature of life. They were planted along the Potomac River, but unfortunately, they were found to be infested with bugs and nematodes and were ordered to be burned to prevent an infestation and protect American growers. Fortunately, a second, larger donation of 12 varieties of 3,020 trees came in 1912. The first cherry blossom festival took place in 1935, but an interruption in the annual celebrations ensued in 1941, when four cherry trees were cut down shortly after the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor. Officials started to refer to the trees as “Oriental” trees to prevent future incidents. Today, people throughout the country, and even from abroad, travel to Washington to catch a glimpse of the beautiful blossoms, which only last for about four to ten days.
Below is Miharu Takizakura, an ancient cherry tree in Fukushima, Japan. This beautiful tree is over 1,000 years old. Its light pink flowers spread in all directions from the branches, like a waterfall, hence its name “Takizakura” which means “waterfall cherry blossoms” in Japanese. It is a popular cherry blossom spot with around 300,000 people visiting the 12 meter-high national treasure every year. Many Japanese people regard it as the unofficial number one tree in all of Japan, and it is a designated National Natural Monument of Japan. It is one of Three Great Cherry Blossom Trees (Sandaizakura) of Japan. [Note the people on the left for proportion, and also the wooden supports in the tree to hold the branches up.]

Funny. My friend and co-worker is a young black dude, very intelligent, very quiet.
Known him for more than a year, and he’s an amazing person. He and I both can order each other around, because it’s a kitchen, and we both know that we both know our stuff.
He has a joke he plays at least once a day on a server or hostess walking into the kitchen, or to one of us. And, I kid you not, it works every single time.
Try it sometime. When someone walks into the room say “Uh-oh.” The next word out of their mouth will be “What?”
Then he says, “Nuthin.”
Last week I nailed him with it, and it worked. “Uh-oh” is always followed by a “What?”.
You gotta find a way to have fun at work.

It even works on me, many times.
We need an “Uh-oh” jar. If you fall for it and say “What?”, you put a dollar in the jar.
With a caveat that the “attacker” has to say “Nuthin.” to complete the sequence.

Took a run to Gulfport this afternoon and ran into coastal southern rain like that’s like no other rain. From about 10 miles out we could see the angry clouds over the coast, the line had come thru us earlier but was piddling at best. By the time we hit it on the I-10 they were black, fluffy and roiling at ground level with whispy white clouds blowing through on 25 MPH winds. The rain was blinding, all traffic was moving at 15 MPH except for some idiotst thast thought they could power through – about a dozen of them had slid off the road in a 15 mile stretch and the county sheriffs and hiway patrol were busy busy.
There was a bright spot though, something we here tend to overlook. is that wehen you’re hungry from a looooong, slooooow, weeeet drive there’s a gas station around everty bend that has smoked plates to go. I got ribs, though I could have had chicken or sausage or a mix. Ahhhhhh…the joys of freshly smoked meats (you get plenty of napins) to help while away the long country miles. You get sides too.

I played with the grandkids while everyone else worked this afternoon. Being a Nanny has a lot of benefits. lol
They all burned leaves, started tearing down pig pens and butchered a pig. I played with race cars, blocks, castle and baby dolls. I also played hide-n-seek, read books and rocked the baby to sleep. Then I just watched them sleep until everyone got done working and it started raining.
Then me and the little man went out to check on a goat and he cracked me up as he always does. We’re walking down the walkway and he says, “uummm Nanny where did all this water come from?” I told him it rained while he was asleep and he said, “well I didn’t know that and then water was everywhere.”
