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.

As far as I know, the longest retention time that's resulted in fertility is about 20 years, and some guides say 50 years is the maximum. If a frozen spermatozoa is going to die, allegedly it does so within the first 48 hours after freezing.
Twenty percent of men have semen that cannot be frozen.
I've attended several bioethics seminars during my CLE training and the legal issues are fascinating.
There was a cricket plague when the Pioneers first settled Salt Lake Valley and the crops were in serious danger of being destroyed. After prayer and fasting, a horde of seagulls came, ate their fills, flew to the lake, regurgitated the meals, and flew back for more, and thus the crops were saved for storage that winter.
Kind of a gross story, but mostly true.
Thank you! That story rings a bell, too.
I saw that Star Trek episode...
two cats throwing nukes at each other
“His is orange on the right side, not the left!”
LOL! (For real!)
Now imagine thousands of “Meh Soldiers” all sired via preserved genetic material.
Well, when you spot them, hope that they look like this (except for the ones that will become Dragonfood..)

And if you see anything that looks similar to this, point it towards your tomato plants. It'll find the hookworms for you... ;-)
Dragonbaby can eat the ones with the eggs, too.
But that's why you don't want that to happen. The eggs are not hornworm eggs, they are wasp pupae. They will, if not eaten prematurely, grow up to be predators of hornworms.
I knew they were wasp something, but we don’t really love wasps, either. Anyway, I still don’t see any hornworms - just lots of beetles.
Rain up to two inchs per Hour and Wind up to 90mph on the inbound.
Moose HQ has turned the fleet into the wind.
Some tropical storm residue that America no longer had a use for and threw out with the trash.
The Sky is growing dark and we have the calm bit in force now.
Time for a barbecue.
These wasps are your friends. Besides, they don't have stingers.
However, wasps that look like this can be downright nasty...
Sounds like a fun time there. Batten down the hatches! Jettison the flotsam! Break out the rum!
When tropical storms wind up over here, we unwind them and send them downwind where they wind up winding down around you guys.
We make friends with reptiles and arachnids, but less frequently with insects, unless they’re dead.
Rum.....Hmmmm....no,,,that tipple and i have a history.
That was what had in mind. :)
Break out the pink wine and Diet 7-up!
Very good,Bob. :)
Could they be wound down a bit more before being launched across the pond?
There will be trees down everywhere if this hits as they are predicting.
