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 thought you could. He’s smoking a good cigar on the slopes, like P.J. himself.
Morning T-c! Cannot take credit for introducing your Family to bratwurst. Better Half was the decider of the food selections, after your idea of the food selections your Family would enjoy. The bratwurst was Better Half's idea when I wrote down the word 'sausage'. And your idea of the food selection was to your credit, not Better Half's nor mine. Am glad for the time together with your Family. The time together was extremely pleasurable. My promise, we shall all meet again when our Families have more time.
Sufficient age and treachery can lead you into more rewarding activities than youth and inexperience.
Agreed, it was a nice time, and we can plan to meet again. Sometime in the fall, perhaps, if the stars align.
That is quite true ... although age and loyalty is better.
I have no doubt, but I have not tried either one.
Age, in particular, seems like a bad bet.
Morning to All and Everyone! Face, another meeting between Families and you being Family everyone would want you there too.
That's exactly what the dragons want you to think.
Good century, everyone.
Unfortunately, the stars have held their council and decided that the next time they align they have to take out this little blue ball that causes so much trouble.
The good news is that it takes the stars a long time to act on their decisions.
Thanks, NtI, but I have no idea when I will head to NC again. The stars must align properly.
But I agree, it would be fun!
I found out what the coughing was all about: A chest cold. (I seldom get head colds.) It will be in interesting situation in view of my compromised lungs. I managed to find the throat spray, hidden among hair products and body lotions, and found my jar of Vicksolatum, so I was able to get some sleep.
I feel rather lethargic this morning with a little naggy headache at my right temple. But I’m going to shower, then set up my pills for the next five days, and see if I feel well enough to go to Busdaddy’s. He probably won’t want me when he learns I coughed most of the night.
Just out of curiosity, I weighed myself this morning...another three pounds gone. I’m wasting away to a mere shadow of my former self.
I have to offer my apology to anyone reading me because today is not one of my good days. Am crying for our Nation everyone. Please Lord ... Remove this cup from America's Lips ... Please. The pain is almost unbearable today and Lord Your plan will cause America more pain though is deserved. Please pray for our Nation everyone. Please pray our Lord removes this cup from America's lips.
My personal apology to you Face. May both of our days find improvement.
Have broken the rules for this thread. My apology to our leaders on this forum.
You’re losing weight, not British currency, right?
Crying is acceptable. You can cry for me, too. I’m too busy!
If you weigh yourself to often, you’ll be discouraged by upward fluctuations.
I hope your cold is better soon!
Thank You for that reminder ... am late yet linger.
Weight, yes. In order to lose British currency, I’d have to have some to begin with! ;o]
Mostly, the upward fluctuations are water weight and that doesn’t bother me because it isn’t “true” weight. I can lose six pounds of that in a day.
I’m taking care of my cold, and that’s the best I can do. I don’t feel all that great, but life’s a beach, so I’ll surf!
Heading out for Busdaddy’s now. I have no clue if I’ll spend the night, but I have the food and cough meds to get me through the worst of the day.
Good luck with the trip! I have to go to Walmart, but first I need to eat.
Drat, Sally ate all my mushrooms.
