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 hope you have a good night. You can probably print out a paper tracker for occasions when you can’t track online.

"Cats are terrific pets, really." Surely you have misspelled a word, m'dear.

Well, I was convinced that either “cats”, or “terrific”, or maybe even “pets” could be the one.
No?
I mean, there’s bats of course, but that’s not exclusionary.
And then there’s “horrific”, which is a terrific word.
Then finally, “pests” is just so obvious, you know.

Cats Are Not Companions
Cats are not companions,
In walks we take through life.
"You go ahead," they'll yawn instead,
"I'm sharpening my knife."
On furniture, you'll notice,
The kind that you require,
For resting in, reposing,
In comfort by the fire.
They may not mind your being there,
And in your favorite seat,
As long as you are quick to rise,
When it is their time to eat!
For cats are not companions,
They are in charge of us!
Why else would they be in the chair,
While we're out on the bus?

Sure, no problem. I forgot to ping Jack Deth.
I think he’d appreciate my point of view.

I also go for the litters of kittens, in pictures, although I have more sense in real life.
Good morning: you’re up early!
