Re: Norwegian wins 2018 Iditarod
IIRC, four of the American's dogs were tested positive for a banned substance after his second place finish last year in the Iditarod. He denied having given the banned substance to his dogs. Maybe that's why he was racing in Norway and skipping the Iditarod. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: "Daniel J.

Re: OT: Political Joke
We get a constant barrage of ugly politics on twitter, facebook, television and in the newspaper. It’s enough to make one vomit. All parties are to blame. If it happens here, I’m gone. Period.

Re: OT: Political Joke
Seriously? What's so damned sacrosanct about AMERICAN politicians that they can't be joked about and derided a bit without people going ballistic? Not too long ago there was a joke about the Canadian prime minister's SOCKS, for crying out loud. "Tradition" was apparently happily broken then. With no pleas to stop. Oh. Okay.

That is similar to the traditional Eastern Orthodox funeral hymn, Вѣчьнаꙗ памѧть Vicnaja pamjat, Vicnaja pamjat. Blazennyj pokoj; vicnaja jemu pamjat.
