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.

Mental image I have is of a local councilman who insists that everyone bow and scrape to his ego.
I’d pay good money to watch him burn via dragon insult.

You're in
N.C.?
I hope the fine upstanding person that I have been having a, um, deep and meaningful discussion with on another thread is not a friend of yours.
Because I really think he's a pompous egotistical bleeptard who is of the opinion his offal is rose scented.

North Carolina is a bit like Florida.
In Florida, most any organism can survive in its mild climate. And almost everything does.
In a harsher climate, or one in which stupidity is more of a hazard to life and limb, nature abhors a vacuum-skull.

Ah, dang, Bob...That hurts to even contemplate.
How harsh can the desert be when one is born and bred here?

I am in N.C., the “greater Charlotte area,” to be more precise. I have run afoul of the person referenced on occasion on FR, never in real life, and my opinion is GAAAAH. (We are also not related as far as I know.)

Well then, he (or a minion of his) must be in the Beaufort area based on the top secret weasel-locator on my page... ;-)

Chances are NoCmpromiz you have encountered an eastern NC voter that would not ever vote or has never voted the way of a Conservative. Is a guess only though, at my local.

And that genius on the phone can’t even blame GPS for thinking we are Home Depot.

"How harsh can the desert be when one is born and bred here?" On my dragonworld, the dragons were born and bred in the desert.
Harshness is Mother Nature's way of saying, "I like what you're doing. Do it again!"
