Nome is used to rowdy residents, but some relatively new transplants are making a real nuisance of themselves -- although unlike the colorful characters of the early 20th century gold rush days, these visitors have four legs, not two.
Musk oxen are wandering into the city on the Seward Peninsula, and despite loud noises, water hoses and even a blow-up bear coated in ursine urine, they don't want to leave.

And had you done so, lying down would have a purpose.
I was having trouble breathing. Maybe I’ll sleep downstairs while the people are Seabase next week, so I can blow my nose.
Ordinarily, I’d suggest that you just go ahead and blow your nose now and have it over and done with, but I don’t want to tell you how to live your life.
Looks like me on one of my good days...
It must be morning. The kittah is up.
That’s not a bad suggestion, actually.
Morning. I’m mopping the floors with the aid of a gang of boys and Kathleen.
I hit the ground running as I keep finding things to take outside and put in the growing stack of items to be donated. But I guess that’s a good thing. My apartment is looking better each day.
YAY!!
My floors are done. Next it’s time for more dental torture. Sally took her mp3 player to her friend’s house, so Tom is lending me an iPod. At least it won’t have Japanese techno-pop on it!
Ordinary Mary is late this morning but called to say she was stuck in construction. That’s going to put my plans on hold, but that’s OK, too. I’m in no rush at the moment. I just want to get out before all the Blue- and Pink-haired folks begin to amble the aisles.
Understand fully NoCmpromiz. Yet here is my thought. Should every kittah add that machine to their arsenal perhaps the forest could be cleared for the lamestream crowd so that the lamestream crowd could see past the end of their nose(s)?!? That forest thingy is where the trees of lies grow. Lamestream crowd is unable to see. With that machine the kittahs could clear the way (perhaps) for the lamestream to see?!?
Morning T-c and Face. Morning Everyone. My apology Dead Corpse. Have broken a rule. Knew was about to and did so anyways. I’ll try to be laughing soon. My promise.
Back from dental torture, Part Deux. It wasn’t as bad as Tuesday. I don’t have to go straight to bed.
After the kids have lunch, we’ll go to Hobby Lobby.
Ordinary Mary deserves a prize for calling, instead of just not showing up when expected.
Have been up for a while but think I should go back to sleep and recover from today and the past few days. Must be older than Thought told Me. I says I Am. Me says that in dog years ... I has outlived Methuselah so Me is trying to cheer I up. Meself left with Thought to go shopping. 2/5ths of the crowd is Happy and if Happy joins the gang will be half-way to wherever and singing with Snow White again. Singing with Snow White is forever and a day better than Grumpy. Must bar Grumpy from showing up. Grumpy has his place and that is kittah form. How is Jake btw?
Jake stayed out all night and is recovering in Kathleen’s bed. He’ll have to move when it’s her naptime, but we’ll go to Hobby Lobby first.
It’s nice having Tom back - he amuses us all!
Jake pulling an all nighter means there was serious business to attend to. I hope Jake recovers enough to get back out there and handle whatever was going on forthright. Jake leaving unfinished business out there is not safe for any of us.
His girlfriend was out in the flowerbed earlier, acting all offended. I think it’s safer for Jake to stay in for a while!
There was a female involved? I don’t blame Jake, I’d of retreated too.
She’s white with a striped tail, and lives across the street.
When I met Tom; Tom seemed a bit reserved and was probably sizing I up. Tom is intelligent as is your entire group. Tom bringing amusement into the mix, I bet, is a blessing. You are blessed T-c.
