Geoffrey,

Welcome to the arctic regions!  If you need a good deal on food for your 
sled dogs, I'm your man!  I do kennels, training, and even musher lessons 
for you first timers!

Some things to keep in mind:

1. Do NOT take your dogs on the Charles river before December!  Ignore any 
contrary advice you get on this! The sewer outflows weaken the ice and 
entire teams have vanished without a trace, only to be found after the 
Spring breakup!

2. Remember that cars are NOT allowed in the city of Boston without payment 
of a $50 daily parking fee.  Take my advice: get a team of dogs instead, and 
save yourself the trouble of putting chains on your tires. ** DO NOT ATTEMPT 
TO AVOID THE PARKING FEE. IT'S JUST A FACT OF LIFE IN BOSTON, AND YOU'LL 
HAVE TO GET USED TO IT!! **

3. The electric outlets at every parking space in the malls are INTENDED for 
your engine heater, and you will NEVER get your car started if you forget to 
use them.  Be sure to get a good mechanic to install the heater: "dipstick" 
models do NOT work in our climate!

4. Do NOT root for the Red Sox!  They will break your heart!

HTH.
