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.

I need a cat, but I don’t think it’s wise at this point.
Some families just function better with katz around.

Yes, a little bit. He’ll go to the vet in a week to make sure everything is as it should be.
He’s getting fatter because he can eat all night.

LOL! I hope that doesn’t happen to me, with my gimpy foot!
I really wanted to start walking every day.

You’ll only do more damage to your food, if you don’t wait.

I’ve been known to damage food quite badly. However, if you’re talking about my FOOT, I think it’s better if I just bide my time!
LOL!

No food can be considered safe until President Obama stops the missile attacks on the Muslim camels in Gaza.

We’d weigh much less without gravity.

Actually, apparently our systems don’t work well without something dragging us down.
I understand that astronauts lose muscle mass in low-G even if they exercise.

They lose bone mass, as well, which is why they are tied to exercise machines. Walking helps to produce bone marrow, which strengthens the bones.

God is for us.
Wait - I don’t want to get into one of those “God vs. science” false dichotomies.

Of course they are.
Ohno.... I think I’m coming down with something. Sore throat, sneezing, coughing and the A/C seems really cold. I’m going to go have some soup. Two things I have plenty of...soup and crackers.
