I've got sunshine on a cloudy day

OK. I've comendeered the office computer and without further delay, I'd like to share some photos. Things are still going really well here. The tourists are actually pretty damn cool for the most part. I made a $100 tip the other day on one 20-minute tour.
The dogs are still enjoying it, though some are getting a little bored with it all. One of the mushers got fired yesterday so we're short a musher and two teams. That means the dogs are going to be running a lot more and we'll be making bank with all the overtime. I hope we find someone soon, though, just for the dogs' sake. If any mushers out there are reading this and need a very well-paying summer job, send a message. It's great for the dogs.
Lastly, I'd just like to remind everyone that it's my birthday next Saturday so if you haven't already put your packages in the mail, you better do it tomorrow. Of course I'm just kidding. (No, I'm not.)
Peace.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It's your birthday!!! Hope you're enjoying it. Look forward to talking with you. Miss you terribly. I saw Theresa today and was remembering your surprise birthday party last July and what fun it was... and your beaver cake, which you made thinking we were celebrating Canada Day.
HAPPY JILLY DAY!
