BREAKING NEWS: "KING" OF THE IDITAROD FOR A FOURTH TIME!

Good morning. After 9 days, 11 hours, 11 minutes, and 36 seconds, Jeff King has just won his fourth Iditarod in the 34th running of The Last Great Race as he crossed under the Burled Arch in Nome mere minutes ago at 1:11 am Alaska Time. His rewards? $69,000 and the keys to another Dodge Ram truck.

Now we may already have a champion, but the race is far from over. Doug Swingley will be next to head into the chute, followed by Paul Gephardt, Dee Dee Jonrowe, and Jeff Baker expecting to be there later today. King is now a four-time winner along with Swingley, Martin Buser, and Susan Butcher. Will he be joining Rick Swenson in the Five-Timers Club next year? We'll find out then.

And with that...good day!
