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.

Male moth too.
I’ve never seen one personally.
But I have seen several Luna moths.

Had them all the time back in Ohio in my youth..
Their caterpillars are, um, interesting also... Looks like something from a bad acid trip. ;-)

Key broading, typing from arms length with one hand while performing another task with the other.
Keybaffled, somebody changed the keyboard mapping...again.

Song of the Spider Robot
I have some work to do up here. You folks who live down there,
Would not enjoy the job conditions, first of all, no air!
I dont seem to mind it though, at least I will not rust,
The lack of food would be a little problem too, I trust?
Ive got my Momma Moonworm. She suckles me at night,
And solar cells can feed me til the sun is out of sight.
It is the cold I run from, and you would too, you know,
My padding made of CO2 wont work when it is snow!
I have my brother robots, to help me with the work,
They simply do not know the concept you call "shirk."
And theyll be there to lend a "hand," if I perchance to fall,
And theyll relay the message when our "Mother" starts to call.
It is a good life, by and large, weve got the stuff we need.
We are your colony on the Moon. We are your working "seed."
Well set the catapult up right, and send the things we make,
Jump up and join us, wont you please? Youre needed for Heavens Sake!
