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.

Busdaddy weighs tomorrow, and gets measured Saturday, to see how much body mass he has lost. I’m thinking he’s lost a lot. And he doesn’t look as uncomfortable.
Best wishes to Busdaddy! Tell him I sent a Raucous Round of Applause.
“remove child before washing....”
Well as long as you keep the spin speed below 800 rpm there shouldn’t be any real problems.
So glad they cleared up that little conundrum for us. :)
I will tell him.
Also, while I still have it on my mind, my daughter and her family will be flying into Charlotte on both the outward trip and inward. I told her to be sure to wave as she went over your house...
This weather...I have 10 months of the year to forget about the monsoons, and I do such an excellent job that I loathe July and August! *whine-whine-whine*
It just started raining here. “The one day I decide to leave the car windows open ...,” said Bill. I pointed out that he said that the last time this happened.
Only use a horizontal loading washer.
The Vertical ones tend to have solid lids, you can’t tell if the child is in distress.
I would leave the windows open on the truck, but the wind blows so much that the interior is gritty. In the summer, it is often a good idea to crack at least one window so the heat inside doesn’t build up and pop the windshield out. And yes, it does happen.
The first time something comes up missing from the car because the windows were left open, he may remember that there are locks on the doors as well as windows that roll up.
We had no crime in the town I grew up in, so nothing was locked except stores, and pharmacists were used to being awakened with a phone call to go open their store in an emergency.
We had three policemen. And a one-celled jail.
When I left home, I still believed most people were honest. However, I now lock the doors, the gas cap and put the clutch lock on the car, and make sure my security door is locked at night.
I will have to rig up an “alarm” for the gate, I think. A cow bell, maybe...like in the fishing section of the sporting goods department at Walmart!
Modify the lid to accept a clear ballistic glass insert, that way you can view any kids cats or criminals hiding inside the washer.
Ninja are optional, they’re everywhere anyway.
One in a while there’s a rash of thefts from cars, and then people are careful to lock up for a while.
Hmm, sounds like avalid solution to the problem.
The vertical tub does was kids better, problem solved.
Where’s my sengar....
Cars here are locked up tighter than a Chicago bank.
They don’t steal from the car, they steal the whole car.
It should be a habit, no matter where you are, because you may not always live there, and “too late” is not the time to learn a lesson.
My truck may be worthless, but it is priceless to me, even if it doesn’t run right all the time. And you never know if someone is going to like it better than you do until they take it.
It’s a habit for me!
Anyone who wanted to steal my truck would need a forklift and a flatbed, as they can’t start it with the clutch lock on. The clutch has to go all the way to the floor to engage the starter, and the clutch lock won’t let that happen.
My son-in-law got smart yesterday when I told him there was a $5000 guarantee with it...if it’s stolen while the lock is on, the company will give you $5000.00. Smart S-I-L, he said he figured out how to get it off. No, he didn’t. He was able to get it off the floor, and twist it around, but he couldn’t get it off, and therefore, couldn’t start the vehicle. There was still an inch of lock between the clutch and the floor.
Like I said earlier: He does get arrogant.
I bet! Especially with the Silver Bullet!
LOL!
It’s in the garage!
It was worth a go, never know your luck. :)
Freezer spray, mallet. Ahem.
