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.

I presume this happened while you were fast asleep.

WD-40 is my Better Half's favorite cologne. I don't wear it often. Makes the girls go crazy.

I’m sure there is a reason why I’m awake, but I really don’t want to be. I could have used another hour in the sack.

Soon I will be going over to wash clothes and I don’t feel like it. But I’m running out of clothes! That happens when I get stressed.

The bad thing is that with him on this diet, there is nothing there for me to eat, so I have to buy my own food for the duration. That stinks.

Hard part today, getting up and looking at Tristans toys.

He had mewed to get me upstairs, waited for me to pick him up, purred, and then he was gone.

Kearen was a good kitty, she didn’t meow.
She’d trill instead.
Or “vrumph”.
She was quite a “diva”.
Tristan had belonged to my step-daughter.
He, as a kitten, had raced up to her, stood on her chest, and stared into her face.
“Dis my human!”
We inherited him when she died.
He was a card.
He’d try to run from his tail, much to Kearens amusement.

Speaking of pets, Jake is in the bathroom sleeping on the mat. This may mean we’re going to have a tornado.
