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.

Cheese, yes.
This is Velveeta we're talking about... ;-)
In my Weight Watchers meeting last week, they said you can cook bacon in the oven on non-stick aluminum foil. I didn’t get the details, but I’m sure you could find them on the interwebs.
Excellent news all around. I have taken various children to several places today. Someone will have to pick up the girls from a party at 8:00, but Pat is gone on his campout until Sunday afternoon.
Hang on... you guys are trading bacon recipes at WW?
you can cook bacon in the microwave but use a plate and a whole roll of paper towels to wrap it in, soaks up a lot of grease.
Ah. Yes.
I’ve cooked bacon (and baked potatoes) in the microwave since I got my first microwave. I use one thick (Viva!) paper towel on the bottom and one on the top. You can dispense with the paper towels on the bottom if you save bacon grease for your dog or for cooking.
I allow one minute for each rasher.
Velveeta - identified in the Guide as “Advanced Cheese Substitute”... ;-)
Which is why we always called it “rubber cheese” - it was always advancing.
Weight Watchers members can eat anything. We just have to pay close attention to amounts. "Bacon, crisp" is 4 Points for 3 slices; my "Points budget" is 26 per day, so some bacon with an egg, maybe some fruit or vegetables, would be a perfectly reasonable breakfast.
Wow .. Last sentence caught me completely off guard. Glad is on the way.
I musk ox you to beware of wildlife invasions.
and life with a fried cheese sammich ... mmmmm good.
It may have happened to some extent, I don’t recall that instance, but generally when I make changes significant enough to open a beta I end up reverting almost all the UI changes due to complaints. Eventually I’ll push through something that must be accepted, I’ve been exploring other tech stacks that will necessitate a complete (long overdue) rewrite. I love Perl, I’ve been using it for 20+ years (since Perl 4, FR’s original codebase in all its gory), tragically, it really is a write-once language. Refactoring Perl is painful. Scala has been my new go-to for at least a year now, it’s nice to have compile-time errors.
That said I am shy to include heavy client-side requirements. Maybe I’m foolish but even jQuery.min at (45 or 80?)k is too heavy. I hate that many sites totally barf on my phone, either slow to load or slow to load AND broken. Web 2.0 is suck. I don’t mind coding for the stone ages. We’ll see though.
This is terrible, I just ate for the second time this evening and now am hungry again. Gosh ... am going to have to log off to stop eating.
Midnight snacks consumed before midnight have no calories... ;-)
LOL .. I never logged out so guess should eat ... before the clock strikes 12 here ... and thanks for the tip of no calories if consumed before 12.
But remember, it must be classified as a midnight snack...
