Wasilla, Alaska is a town not far from Anchorage, where I'd choose to live full-time if that were an option, which it's not. Not too big, but still having all the sorts of things we'd like to have available in the way of shopping and so forth. It's home to the soon to be ex-governor Sarah Palin, but way more important is that it's the home of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race headquarters. While there on my recent trip, I took this photo of a few of the pups there, soon to be potential race champions. Having owned two of these type dogs, we'd love another. But, I'm afraid that's not going to happen. Cats are much easier to take care of as you get older.
