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.

WOO-HOO! I lost 12 pounds! Hahahaha!
Congratulations!
Guess what day it is?
It isn’t Friday.
Thanks! Once I learn how to buy food all over again, I won’t need WW. But I will stick with it for the three months I signed up for. What have I got to lose besides more weight?
Morning, ArGee!
75 degrees here, with a high expected of 97. :o]) Looks like the monsoons may be almost over.
It’s BOBday!
It’s always bobday. I’m not one of those bubbly, effervescent “morning” people.
I’m not even an afternoon person.
I just recognize that the world is what you make it. If you want to make it an oyster, go ahead, but ... yuck.
Don’t blame me for its being an “Oh, it’s you, Bob” world. It’s just in my nature to pop up to the top of any situation. Why do you think they call me “Bob”?
I prefer to think of days as “Oh, goody! It’s Bobday!” That ought to make your Humpday a little better...
*hug*
Less than a stone?
Hahahaha! I still don’t know how much a stone is...so whatever works!
Wonderful! That makes a big dent in your total already!
Isn’t it encouraging? It is to me!
I like it! I even posted the progress on Facebook so my fat son and his fat wife can read it and get an idea...
Busdaddy was confused about why I had to pay if I had to buy my own food. I told him I was paying for the education.
Whatever is trying to catch up with me is doing a bang-up job. My throat is still sore and this morning it’s scratchy. I think I have some antiseptic throat spray, but I will have to look.
Yesterday, I forgot to put ice on my foot so this morning is it swollen worse and dark purple. So I have ice on it. It didn’t help that I walked around in Walmart with Busdaddy.
Yes, that’s right - you pay for the education, and for the help with figuring out the most successful eating plan for yourself. You can also pick up the phone and call them.
Sorry about your foot! You shouldn’t have walked.
You’ve inspired me to make some decent food! I’m going to make vegetable soup and baba-ganous today.
Usually when I lose stuff I don’t get congratulated.
Mrs. ArGee gets downright cranky.
But I don’t loose weight-thingies very often.
The world is definitely NOT what you make of it.
If it were we’d all be freezing to death because we’d all be living on top of an ice-cream-sundae.
32 lbs, IIRC.
Sure as shootin’ shouldn’t have walked at Wal-Mart.
It takes less energy to walk around NYC than a Wal-Mart.
A “stone” is 14 lbs.
Cold-eeze.
I can’t prove it works, and it’s a little pricy, but I start sucking on those lozenges as soon as I get a hint of a cold and they generally don’t hit or stay small.
There are generic versions, which Wal-Mart probably carries.
