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 T-c. Morning Everyone. Excellent Wonderful News on the Basil Prayer Thread. Am day late regarding info. Think update was from yesterday. Wonderful Wonderful News if anyone is not aware! But by all accounts was last to know ...
Thank you!
OK.
If you like Rich Mullins’ music, watch “Ragamuffin.”
If you don’t like Rich Mullins’ music, consider it anyway.
Be prepared to cry.
I’m like a year out of the loop, so I don’t even know why we’re praying for spices.
“Basil” is a FReeper who, iirc, had a stroke.
I used that for a tagline...but that must have been the day you were AWOL from the UT....
Cute!
Well. I’m finally here. I got up later than I wanted to, but I obviously needed it, or I would have been up sooner.
I added my intake today for yesterday, and today was weigh day...no gain, no loss. There is always next week!
My right side is still a little tender, but I’m good. My left foot is back to “normal”-looking, but I’m keeping it wrapped at least until the weekend. That will be two weeks from the injury date.
The kitchen needs a going over and there were three things I forgot at the store. I guess I’ll go back now, before it gets any hotter and work on the kitchen later.
Back before I was born my Father painted three paintings for the local church(es). They were not original paintings but copies of famous masterpieces. One was the crucifixion, one of Christ praying in the garden, and one of the Ascension.
I located the painting of the Crucifixion at the Methodist Church last Sunday. It is no longer hanging on the wall - it's upstairs in the hallway. I discovered that Dad signed and dated the back of the canvas - 1939. I expressed to the persons I talked with that my two Sisters and I would like to obtain those paintings if they were no longer wanted/useful to the church. My memory is that two of the paintings were in the Methodist Church - the other being the garden painting, and one in a church down the street, but we could only locate the one painting at the Methodist church and of course no one I talked with even remembered them being on the wall - it has been fifty years since I saw them there after all. They said that they would convey my (our) interest to the Board...
The other church down the street is no longer a viable congregation and no one knew anything about a possible contact person. The building does not look vacant, there is still 'church stuff' in the vestibule visible on a driveby and the property looked mowed so someone must be 'in charge'. My thoughts are that since it is a small town, maybe if I stop at the post office and talk with the postmasterperson because he probably would know who is getting any mail that might come for them or who is the caretaker. Dearwife also suggested stopping at the barbershop or similar places 'where people gossip'...
Tomorrow you may find you’ve lost!
Best wishes in your search! You might also ask at the Town Hall about the closed church.
But Face, you change your tagline so often that it’s entirely possible to miss an iteration or two... :-)
Oh, sorry. Hope the prayer thread has excellent news, then.
I hope you find them. This sounds like a great quest.
Tabasco ... and Crushed Red Pepper.
