My Free Little Grocery

I’m taking a minute of editorial privilege during this extraordinary time to encourage you to help others where you can. Here’s what’s in front of my house right now. I’m not doing it for compliments. I’m doing it because there are people in my community in need, and it makes me feel better to do SOMETHING when my family has been so fortunate.
I’ve contacted a few pet stores and Chewy.com to see if I can add some pet food to my inventory.
Please consider helping out, either by setting up your own little grocery or by sending a contribution to me via PayPal to [email protected] so I can keep this going.
Thanks!
Stay home and stay safe.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Iditarod 2020: Race Map

Perhaps I should have posted this earlier, so the checkpoints I am posting daily would make more sense. As you can see, the mushers are following the northern route this year (they alternate between northern and southern), and the top mushers have reached the shores of the Bering Sea at Unalakleet.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
