... and apparently there is a javelina family with some babies in the neighborhood. Josephina Javelina...not (a fun storybook for kids).
So, Mz Screamer, I gotta ask. What exactly is the "sheep ear thing" that badly behaving retrievers do?

Josefina Javelina is a great storybook, with lovely illustrations. Especially for those of us who had no idea what a javelin might be. Both our PGBs enjoy reading it over (and over and over and ... ) and over, again.

Well Minnie, I am not sure I can explain sheep ears...but seems like all Goldens do it. Perhaps there is a neighborhood Golden owner that can show you what this looks like?

Hi Team,

Great to see all the reindeer this season! We have the best heard for sure, along with all the swag...

Tonight I passed the 36 million lifetime meters. Brought a big smile for that one. I am trying to get a million in this challenge, I think I can is half the battle.

Keep up the charge - hope you all make your goals!

Happy Rowing,

Ed

I have no doubt you will hit the million. The charitable causes add a lot for me. This is my favorite challenge. After watching you pile up the meters I can understand how happy the teammates of Ruth and Gehrig were to be on the same team. Saying "I think I can" is a good strategy. After all, it worked for the "little engine that could."

Congratulations to all the Recent Reindeer Rewards Recipients! Way to row!
K2, I think I have messed up my meters count for you by manually fixing some wrongly dated log card entries just now. After I upload my meters for today I will let you know what my actual Holiday Challenge meters are for tomorrow's stats.

Congratulations from me too !!!
So, let's see... 8 = ‎2³, and (2 x 3)² =36, so that means ... I think that means the numbers 2 and 3 must be exhausted.
