Let the Holidays Begin...

This is the beginning of the worst 6 weeks of the season, from what I've heard on station. The holiday season tends to depress some people here. Once we get through New Year's, we'll see the light at the end of the tunnel and things will start picking up.

The annual Turkey Trot 5k Walk/Run was this morning at 10am. Yesterday, I managed to convince Lori, one of the firehouse dispatchers, to join me.

I snapped this photo just as we passed Rachel, who took that last pic. You can see the runners starting to spread out as they run towards the Ice Runway.

Go JOOLEE!! I think she was the first place woman runner!

I'm guessing this was some kind of "save a cow, eat a turkey" thing, but I'm not exactly sure.
