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.

A nice piece of Vampire Bluegrass, the official musical genre of the Undead Thread. It’s the new Steeldrivers, not the old Steeldrivers (with their original lead vocalist).

Misread that as “original dead vocalist”.

Watching Jinx cat, he appears to be getting suggestions from several of them at once.

Jinx is making sure the universe is aware of his multiple personalities.

Those are the wasps that made my life miserable as a kid. They had a nest in the south side of the eaves in our OLD house (the bats had the attic) and they always found their ways into our bedroom and on occasion, into our beds.

Commonly called "yellow jackets", they are predatory across many boundaries. They will take your food out of your hands, and smack you around if you contest their right to it.
I do not show them mercy.
Many other species of wasps are selectively predatory. They can actually be a blessing. I have heard that some farmers will take the risk of relocating, rather than destroying, the paper wasp nests of certain species, presumably when they are small with few citizens.
In this way, the wasps and the people can each go about their business without disturbing each other; the people to attend the cattle, and the wasps to attend the flies that attend the cattle.
