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.

Well, dang. If the mail person can’t pick up the mail because a vehicle is in his/her way, how can s/he deliver it? She asks, plaintively. Just about the time my outgoing was still hanging around with the incoming, I’d have to hit the USPS.com website with dates.
You can steal my car, break into my house, and eat my food. But DON’T mess with my mail! LOL!
Our favorite mail carrier is in Seattle, visiting her grandchildren until tomorrow, so we have had “iffy” mail deliveries. Since I know it’s temporary, I won’t complain. She’s pretty cool, and ultimately, anything that happens on her route is her responsibility.
Thanks for the update, CO. Dogs will always minimize an illness or a hurt in front of their owner, so try to watch him when he doesn’t know you’re around.
Not easy, I’m sure. But try.
So the computers had a tiff, eh? The bedtids. Tell them they can be replaced with newer models. THAT will straighten them out! LOLZ!
I have been able to watch in thru the window when he is outside. He acts the same.
Tasha one time hurt herself and was limping, one day she limped out the front door. I looked out the kitchen window and she was running all over the place. Then she came in the house limping. It was funny.
It’s not “blocked” blocked, just parked close enough that the mailperson has to make an extra effort. The truck is gone today, and the car is in the driveway, but they still didn’t pick up the outgoing mail.
We had a basketball goal in the way, by about 2 feet and he left a nasty note on an envelope. lol.
A few months ago the same thing happened and we got the code enforcement people sending us a letter.
It’s good to know Fredd is improving, hope it continues!
We’ve received several sticky-notes, each increasing in grumpiness.
Any sad faces on them?
thanks.
Glad I saw the update and he seems OK.....
He is still using only 3 legs, but does seem a tad bit better.
It would seem the carriers are exhibiting personal dislike for their jobs and are trying to blame it on the customers. USPS.com has an email site, so all you need to do is go there, write your complaint or counter complaint, and include your ZIP as well as the approximate dates.
If a carrier thinks s/he can get away with making your life miserable, then s/he will. So you might include something loosely along the line of “I’m afraid of reprisals [non-delivered mail, more complaints, etc] and let them know you are willing to compromise if you only know what the carrier expects of you above and beyond their job descriptions.
I refuse to be a victim, period. Steal my car, break into my house..... you know the drill...... ;o]
I’m so glad. We love our dogs. Hopefully he will start using it and all will be well.
They are talking now.
....for now.
Memory stick o/s rebuilds are brilliant.
It’s the installation of the applications that takes the time ,afterwards.
Service restored :)
I don’t know the work you do, and it’s OK if I don’t, but I DO resent the heck out of a computer that tries to do some Oneupsmanship. Now THAT really ticks me off!
BRAVO, Moosie!
Have you checked Fredd’s Hips for displacement?
His backend will look twisted from above when he is laid down.
T’was a case of: Work or next stop Silicone heaven.
That is where all the calculators go.
Exclamation points!!!!
Obviously trying to get your attention.
