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.

Oh, yes ... they’ve been out for a month and a half, maybe 11 weeks. The earliest restart date I’ve seen is August 16.

I did see where Santa Claus went nuts. Saw the video and everything. It is a mission to rescue Mrs. Santa Claus, am certain. Santa was a bad boy but forces are being assembled for one purpose only and that is to take Mrs. Claus out to dinner since Santa is in jail. Mrs. Claus has taken over the operation since she was the only one left alive after Santa knock off all the Elves and raindeer.

Sorry 5.56mm, I snagged it for my own uses. However, 1100 is coming up, so perhaps you could try for 1099?

I hope your day is good!

I miscalculated, more like 7 weeks. Most schools let out in the second week of June, and return in late August or early September.

That doesn’t sound good, Moosie. I don’t like “Urgent,” while “urgent” doesn’t stop my heart.

Nope. No moving. Monsoons will be here and gone and here again until about the first week in September.

I loathe the humidity. But we so need the rain.

The Dutch love coming here on Vacation.
In Summer, such as now, the roads are full of NL Plated cars.
They say that they feel safe here.
