Musk ox invasion keeps Nome wildlife managers busy

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.

Whew ... Thank goodness that Little Altar Boy back at post #2985 saved us ...

Thanks ‘Face.
:)

The suspense was killing me, too, but I wasn’t about to swoop in and take it without someone posting to me! LOL!

You save my bacon, Moosie!

[moose07]

Mission accomplished.
Got the 100 on the FReepathon thread with a Maggie Picture, so it was only correct etiquette to help ‘Face to the 3K on the UT. LoL.

Misread that as “pave the world”.
Which brought to mind all kinds of bizarre images.

Dear Hero,
Why did we have to give the Little Altar Boy your just and due recognition for saving the world?

Sincerely,

We are presently 70 years later than August 31, 1944. Paris is newly liberated, Patton is pushing the Germans back, Montgomery is waffling, Churchill is fussing, and the Russians are about to take Warsaw, as soon as the Nazis crush the final remnants of the Polish Uprising.

And it’s almost time to get your furs out of cold storage, if you live in New York City. You can start wearing them right after Labor Day, no matter how hot it is.

Asphalt was from Broken Arrow, OK, where I used to live. It’s been several years, he’s probably turned out tolerably well (says Bill’s mother, sigh).

I watch a lot of war documentaries, and it seems “they” are always coming up with more.

Are you interested in the commission report on 9/11? I have it, if you want. I can send it to you along with the other two books I borrowed.

We still wear white here after Labor Day. Go figure.

Broken Arrow

Look out Everyone, T-c is using Military Terminology. Could become scary soon! Fire and everything.

[Tax-chick]

The subject of World War II is never exhausted. And no, I don’t think I’d ever get through the 9/11 report. I know you borrowed the history of South Africa. What else? (I haven’t missed them!)

I’m reading a biography of Walt Whitman.

This is the Undead Thread. There’s always fire and everything.

Bill’s mother is an optimist! LOL!

I may be at the tail end of this chest cold. I’m hoping. I’m so tired of coughing, and it sounds horrible. Ever since I had pertussis, I cough like I never got over it, so it always sounds worse than it really is.

Of course, now, I will have to make sure my throat and neck are kept warm this winter. I’ve had a pneumonia shot, but that doesn’t mean I’m immune. I’m SO glad I found a thick winter coat in my stuff!

It was the book that the movie “Zulu” was made from. It’s been a little slow going (not enough action!) but I can send them both.

oh my goodness ... but I don't to wear an asbestos suit, is too hot. Please wait till winter, please. Fur est thing from wearing but could me have a taste of terrorist soup, Maw?

Let me count the times ... 10 or 12?

and that was just the number of times I be combusted
