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.

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.

Welp, I just got the BSOD. My surfing days are soon to end, I think. I was going to reinstall my Dragon software, and now I think I will have to go look at other computers tomorrow, which means I will need to learn Win8. *sigh*

I can look, but I can’t buy until next month, so I’m going to try and nurse this one along.

Not a happy camper. I think I’ll go to bed and read so I don’t have to think about the money aspect.

They look rather forlorn, but still cute!

Good luck to them.

Busdaddy is seriously considering adopting my niece’s pit bull mix. We have yet to see her, but I think Friday is the day. All we’ve seen in photos.

He is serious, now, especially after the break-in. He was taking his time, but I think he realizes he needs a deterrent.

Obi Wan... A man so important to past/future far away history, and yet so VERY wrong on a hilarious number of points.
