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.

I am SO outclassed...

I think it’s time for another doze...

Or not. NCIS is playing, back to back; episodes I haven’t seen.

I wish they came in preschooler sizes, because Kathleen gets cold in the winter even in the sleeper pajamas.

Could it help to layer her?
Like socks, then pj's then bigger socks, etc? Maybe you could get a sleeping bag, and trim/sew it to size.

I'm big on links tonight.

Sometimes we put socks inside the pajamas. I can probably make something with fleece - how hard is it to sew a rectangle, right? - and attach it somehow.

[fanfan]

I’m on my second load.
Towels next. Or not.
Maybe tomorrow.
Carpe the next diem.

[fanfan]

Maybe a zipper? Or Velcro?

[Tax-chick]

She can undo zippers. We have to use safety pins to keep her from undressing!

"We have to use safety pins to keep her from undressing!"

Heaven help us when she discovers Tequila.

[NoCmpromiz]

If you're more than halfway in, you're on your way out again.

Which of course would be true by process of elimination...

[NicknamedBob]

That’s how the bears do it.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, unnngh.

[Tax-chick]

I got that!

[NoCmpromiz]

In the woods?

[NicknamedBob]

It’s what I’ve heard, and that the Pope’s Catholic. Not so sure about the second one, though.

[null and void]

[NoCmpromiz]

Gotta watch out for those Appleites. I hear they’re a really fanatical sect...

[Billthedrill]

It's not a cult. I can quit anytime I want.

[GeronL]

That screams CRAZY

[NicknamedBob]

The Church of Bob doesn’t even show on that scale.

for those who would like to see Barry have a dose of this.

"What part of the woods is the neck?"

The part where the raindrops keep falling on our heads? The local of where head was lost to chopping block? This is a confusing question NoCmpromiz. Why did I bring up ... neck of / in the woods? Only Bob knows for sure?!? I'll be quiet about this 'neck of the woods' thing. Might attract too much attention.
