Musk ox invasion keeps Nome wildlife managers busy
Anchorage Daily News ^ | comJuly 2, 2014 | SEAN DOOGAN

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.

Thanks for letting me know. I was wondering where that had got to. I’m glad your lawn is happy.

I’m not sure which I’d rather do - teach boys to write paragraphs or roap a herd of rabid goats.

I’m leaning toward the goats.

Quiet here, just heat.

Shawn will be here in an hour, and when he leaves, I have to leave for a doctor’s appointment. Not looking forward to THAT. I wish my regular doctor would get back off maternity leave. She listens to me, while the other doctors seem more concerned about how to interpret what I’ve said.

I try to make it clear and concise, but maybe that’s confusing for them.

Thanks to modern health insurance most clinics can’t make any money if doctors spend more than 15 minutes with each patient.

Given all the minutia they now need to collect thanks to the Electronic Records Act (minutia meant to control your habits, not aid in diagnosing your ailments) most of that 15 minutes is burned with record keeping. The doctor is lucky to get 5 minutes to actually “listen and understand” before giving you a perrscription and hollering, “NEXT!”

I know...HMOs. I hate them. But this doctor I’m seeing today is more concerned with sending me for TESTS. He doesn’t want to hear what I have to say, and that isn’t a good atmosphere for me, as I have a tendency to have elevated BP with him. Which he rags on me for.

So I’m just taking a piece of paper on which I have written MY agenda for the visit, and when he reads it, he can do what I ask or not. If not, I will see another doctor.

Luck’s got nothing to do with it.

May the 4th be with you!

Just a personal note, nothing series. :)
18 months ago i had four broken ribs on my left side, it was easier to sleep on that side with the breaks down.
Amazing how the rest of the body suddenly weighs a ton as you try to get back out of bed. ugh.

I’ve had broken ribs, too. It was just so long ago I can’t remember much except trying to breathe.

I left them buried under the glacier barf that passes for hills in Ohio. :-)
