Today's Red Lantern

The Red Lantern is the name given to the person in last place on the Iditarod. Rob Loveman gets the award today. I clicked on his picture and thought I was on a
Star Trek website. Is it just me or does Rob look strikingly like Jean-Luc Picard?
They might have something in common: Loveman is a nuclear physicist and I tell you what--he is very representative of the mushers in Alaska. Don't know why but I found it very interesting that most of the mushers not only have college educations but graduate and doctorate degrees. I truly wish the media would spend some time on the Iditarod and its personalities so we could learn what Alaskans are really like and rid us of the bad taste they left in our months with the whole Sarah Palin thing.

Hi

I'm up and running and it is
going just great. Liked your cloud
with the man's face on it. Also
the look alike with Jean-Luc and
think your correct in saying that
Sebastian would fit in just great
with " southern Iowa folks". Boy
this computer is something else,
wow, thanks again. It is great.
Will head to the hospital around
in the a.m. and check GG out.
