Musk ox invasion keeps Nome wildlife managers busy
Anchorage Daily News ^ | comJuly 2, 2014 | SEAN DOOGAN

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.

That’s only about 12 Weight Watchers Points, depending on how much protein it had. James says he saw snakes at Webelos camp.

Oops, I need to find Bill and have him take over on this meal, so I can go pick up the VBS attendees.

Bon voyage, Sally!

Lemon infused olive oil sounds good. If I remember, I will look for some on payday.

Showers make loving little boys a lot easier, when they have been out in the woods for a few days...

I just got the last of the donations all tied up into neat containers of one kind or another, and if my truck is working when the next batch is done I will try to take it myself to the nearest thrift store. This one doesn’t do pick-ups, but I’m sure things are divided between the two stores as needed.

When I get back, I will work diligently on the coat closet and get it ready for tubs of Christmas things! YAY!

Also known as ;the ‘Frog in the Pot’ syndrome.
If you go to a Local council meeting the ‘Synchronised Nod’ is also a powerful desensitising weapon, nobody wants to be seen as different.
All except the awkward swine in the back benches who will not let anything pass without a good dose of argument. hee hee.

Don’t buy the cheap version, it goes solid in the bottle after 10 days.

Changed my mind about the gym - I decided we’ll go to the library this afternoon, and to the gym tomorrow, when the library is closed. Tomorrow we can go right after the VBS dropoff.

I think I have everything ready for the thrift store pick-up, and I think I also have everything I need for my four days.

Sometimes, I just hate going over there, even for a night because I have to take so much STUFF!

Thanks. It’s from a song they play on the Margaritaville channel sometimes.

I probably won’t do much of it while I’m gone...*sigh*

I’d love a nice cold glass of beer right about now. I mean, it’s five o’clock SOMEwhere!

I picked up a California Riesling at Harris Teeter this morning, 2/$10.
