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.

Morning TC,
Cloudy and warm with intermittent Sun.
Lunch time.... :)

That’s an old campfire favorite from my dimly-recalled youth.

It’s a 2012 edition, so it’s fairly up to date.

It will be a while before I really learn how to use it, though, as I’m sticking with the really simple things.

It was a rough night for me and my croupy chest and my achy foot. Here’s hoping it’s a better day...

Morning T-c! Morning Everyone!

[Tax-chick]

Is your foot getting worse?

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. Quite warm here already.

Loving the weather ... God controls forever ... Could be a cold winter coming.

Poetry!

My kids are telling me it’s going to be a cold winter, but I think it’s better to decide on these things after the fact.

I’m listening to Bill’s musical selections, because suffering produces endurance.

I was going to listen to a family-building conference from South America. One of the talks is entitled, “Help! I married a musician!” However, the sound isn’t working on my pc, so I’m stuck with some alternative-folky stuff Bill is playing. It’s not as bad as it could be ... just kind of shallow and whiny.

suffering produces endurance

and Love.

True.
