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.

LOL!
Scouting is where you aren't allowed to bring your backpack into the house, and instead walk around the house, open your pack, and spread out your clothes on the back deck to air for a day or two before bringing them inside to wash.
Heh, they were only gone for three days.
I think she probably is, but afik she hasn't tried it yet (although the System Administrator has informed her of its presence..)
The System Administrator is running Palemoon of one of his laptops. For most intents and purposes he sees no glaring differences between it and Firefox. Mostly because there aren't that many... but it doesn't require an addon to get the addon bar.. ;-)
I’m at my weekend get-away site, and have laid in a supply of groceries. Some will stay here for my next visit, probably this time next week, when I need to do laundry again.
Busdaddy’s flight leaves at 0700, so we are going to be up early. GAH! At least I can drive back before rush hour.
Anyway, I just thought I’d let you know I’m safe...not necessarily sound, but safe. :o])
Thought 1) So it's a bootless saloon...
Thought 2) If we put a blinkie neon sign on it that said "Bar and Grille - free pints to unescorted Ladies" or somesuch, we could turn it into a saloon...
Thought 3) You mean you Brits don't have a different name for a hatchback?
Thought 4) What does the tread depth in Brazil have to do with UK? This globalism sucks...
Thought 5) Beautiful Daughter likes the color. In your photo. If yours is not that color, don't tell her.
Glad you’re safe!
I finally got to the gym after supper, with Vlad, Frank, and Kathleen. James was too tired. He was dozing on the sofa when we got home.
Tomorrow after I drop off Vlad, Frank, and the Montoya girl at VBS, I’ll go over to Asuncion’s to talk about music, and try to remember to pick up Tom’s new glasses on the way home.
I never could get the company to invest in one of those. I had to recapture all the smoke myself...
“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 hate when that happens.
You’d think the bear urine would be the bomb ... but when you consider how musk oxen smell, they probably don’t even notice.
Add a goat a skunk and a camel to the mix and you’d have something really memorable. Might keep the deer away.
Even musk oxen know that bears don't pee on an airport runway. The forest is over that way.
Miss Kitten said, "Look at that boy! He parked right in front, when he could park across the street, there's nothing wrong with him! Old people need to park close."
"When I go to church on Sunday, I'm going to tell [Union County Sheriff] Eddie Cathey, 'Eddie, you have to talk to your boys about bein' considerate. Tell them, park across the street.' I'm going to say, 'Now, what if it was your Mama, Eddie, and she wanted to park by the door, and there was some healthy young deputy parked there?' You talk to those boys!' "
By this point, everyone at the meeting was in stitches. I'm sure if Miss Kitten sees Eddie on Sunday and chews him out, he'll say, "Yes ma'am, Miss Kitten. I'll tell the boys they can't just park by the door, because old people need to park there!"
I think nothing keeps deer off except shooting them.
*snert*
When I get to my seventies, I’m going to be irascible.
(That’s why I’ve been practicing.)
But you’ll never be irascible like an adorable old Southern lady, Bob.
I’m good with that.
And then you eat them, and everyone’s happy.
I love your Miss Kitten! She could also whack him across the shins with her cane!
