The rest of my walk through Central Park
I'd never seen this statue before. It's inscribed, Dedicated to the Indomitable Spirit of the Sled Dogs that relayed antitoxin 600 miles over rough ice over treacherous waters through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925. Endurance. Fidelty. Intelligence." According to the website, In 1925 Nome, Alaska was stricken with a horrific diphtheria outbreak.

January
I haven't had the mental fortitude to start looking through the many photos I took on our trip to Florida at the end of last month, so here are a few non-Florida pictures. First, maybe I've...

Wrapping up September, mostly cats plus a groundhog
Spot! Always so happy when I'm in the garage with him. Actually, every night I sit with the garage kitties for a while after Kevin goes to bed, and every single time Spot starts loudly meowing the...
