Musk ox invasion keeps Nome wildlife managers busy

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.

I don't think so.

Dimebag Lil' 9mm Killer D'ante P recorded that song for Death Row last month, and it's already soaring on the hip hop and rap charts.

They'll probably look for something that won't compete with a current release.

compete with a current release

oh no ... Thrown back into the briar patch.

That happens a lot when the pols are in town. Hitlery and Hairy were both here this week.

I could smell them from here.

Most of our kit uses GPS ,but not all.
The date and time are just....to precise. If you get me.

Morning ArGee. :)

The problem is half of the country uses this time signal for ‘everything’...just a bad date to choose.

You don’t have GLONASS backup?

[moose07]

LOL, not in this place.
My personal Satnav does though.

Since my earlier thought was incorrect, my apology. Must have read wrong information and that one caused my error.

Hey, NTI, you are talking to the ‘master of the art of the misread paragraph’, my friend. :)

Back from the gym. High of 91 today, says the forecast, and 20% chance of rain.

[ArGee]

This this Miss Red Paragraph a competition that others can get in on?

Do you have any photos of past winners?

[ArGee]

You’re down to 91???!!!

I think this WW thing has gone too far!

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

There was a choir practicing when I was at church making copies last night, and one of the ladies (also an acquaintance from swim team) said she’s lost 85 lbs. in the last year.

Do you have any photos of past winners?

the contest was rigged ... and then the contest wasn't rigged. Most past winners have trophies. I've none but will keep entering the contest. Is required, regrettably.

[no-to-illegals]

There are clues though. And saying Nothing at All means certain defeat. Hate defeat but have two of ‘em. Think will follow the lead of another FReeper, JRandom, and floss toenails.

High of 102, humidity is up, so one of the Pacific storms is responsible for the wind...so sez the weather prognosticator.

I’ll be leaving soon to have my feet x-rayed, then will stop by Walmart and get my prescriptions. I will NOT have my BP checked when I go in. I will go in Monday and have it done then, as my other pills will be here today and the time will allow them to work their magic on my compromised system.

I did get a referral for podiatry so I can have the pins removed from my toes. They are working their ways out and feel weird to the touch.
