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.

maybe not the deer...
But... what difference at that point does it make... ;-)
It's a different physics. They depend on charm, while I put my stock in strangeness.
Oh, Miss Kitten doesn’t need a cane, since she’s lost 40 pounds at Weight Watchers. She’s as spry as can be. She has all the people from the county senior citizens program over to her house for Thanksgiving, in shifts. We were all in awe of how much she was cooking. “But I made that sweet potato dish that was only 6 points, and I ate that with some turkey!”
One of the members this week was talking about how it was hard for her to get to the meeting because of her mother-in-law, and Miss Kitten said, “You just tell her, from 9:00 to 10:30, you are BUSY, and if she’s not DYIN’, she can just wait!”
A Saloon has a protruding Boot.
Hatchbacks can be either 3 or 5 door, as long as the boot doesn’t protude to far beyond the rear window.
Ask for a hatchback saloon and the Ambulance will be called.
“Don’t have a different name for a hatchback”
Give me five minutes normal service will be resumed. :)
It was discovered after the EU rule on tyre tread depth came into force that most of our old tyres where being sent to Brasil for a second life.
Those that don’t reappear as plant containers in public areas.
A depth of 1.6 mm leaves many thousands of miles on the tyre.
As long as the canvas isn’t showing they are Brasil legal.
Oh yes ,we have to pay the £1.50 per tyre for “Disposal”.
It is that Colour.
There was a choice of Red, Blue ,or Blandsville. :D
I like the color too.
Blue is a good color for a car ... but it’s hard to get a 15-passenger van in anything but white. I should run mine through the car wash. It’s looking cruddy.
Wasn’t to sure of it to start with ,but it grows on you.
MPVs are probably best in White in a Hot climate ,such as yours.
Black would turn it into a Nevada Cooker.
From my auto-insurance-company experience, white and yellow are your most visible colors, and keep your headlights on. The eye passes over black, you’re more likely to be hit, even in daylight.
Blue is on the low end of eye-shock, so the brighter the better.
I’ve been almost hit in my black truck a couple of times recently. But I’m not blaming their eyes.
I’m blaming a lack of brain function.
I was there once. It's about the size of the town I grew up in.
Oh wait. That's Blandinsville
Never mind.
Strange place to find a Norwegian Blue.
I was stood just there before Christmas, listening to a street busker.
Didn’t think his music was that bad.....
Potters field is about the size of six 18 wheelers end to end.
Nice on a sunny day in summer, mid December it was a bit on the cold side.
There is a lovely Chinese restaurant about fifty yards behind the photographer. Great at lunch time for a snack.
Remarkable bird, beautiful plumage though... ;-)
That’s just weird.
Not a bad poem by today's standards, Moosie.
You should enter it in a contest.
It’s morning. And I’ve been up and on the go since 0300. I have no clue why. I did discover that Busdaddy is more apprehensive about taking the wrong lane at the airport than I am! Getting out is a breeze. Getting in, not so much.
Cab drivers are insane and think nothing of cutting you off, pulling in front of you and taking the spot you were aiming for. GAH!
At least when I go to pick him up, I won’t have to run the gauntlet. Passenger pick-up is in the parking garages.
Lost verses of “Werewolves of London”?
I’ve taken Vlad, Frank, and the Montoya girl to VBS. Next I’ll get my music things together and go to Asuncion’s to plan. I’ll take the car and get Bill a tank of gas, too, not that he deserves it.
