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.

GULP ... Hint received and taken.
Morning T-c. Morning Everyone.
yep, I agree, is dangerous treading water with sharks.
Good morning, nti.
Strange bidness, being a kitteh.
Yes, it is.
How are you today? It’s raining here.
For some reason, my stomach is upset this morning. It hasn’t been this way since I began drinking copious quantities of tea, so I don’t know whassupwithat. Especially since I had a cup of black tea this morning.
I have to go back home to get some nebulizer meds so I can stay long enough to pick up Busdaddy at 1125. I really don’t like driving his big truck, but I have no choice.
Tomorrow, when he brings me home, I will have him go with me to the Muffler Shop so I can get an exact quote for the labor on the fuel pump. I really need my truck.
And of course, I will check my email, since this computer won’t allow me access to my own accounts... That’s frustrating.
No rain here, just heat. By Thursday, it will be up to 111 again.
I wasn’t going to clean this morning, but I couldn’t help myself!
I felt a little creaky when I got up, after playing badminton at the neighbors’ cookout, but it’s getting better now. Tom’s ride should be here for him shortly, and then I’ll get Bill out of bed so I can take a shower before church.
Luck is his companion.
Poetical.
I’m home. I REALLY need to buy some room fresheners that work while I’m gone, because the place smells like smoke. My next door neighbor is a smoker, and I get the results of it. I don’t have this problem in the winter because I don’t use the furnace. GAH! At least it’s not as bad as the other apartment I lived in, here. THAT was AWFUL!
The shower is calling me, but I want to access some websites before I answer. Dang.
Maybe I will stop and get something to eat before I go back. My milk is “over there,” and I don’t like breakfast without milk.
No plans for today except pick up Busdaddy.
I got “Tuskegee Airmen” in the mail from Netflix, and really want to watch it, but maybe I will do it at Busdaddy’s. It will help to pass the time. I feel like my life has been on hold since Thursday morning.
You should take a shower, watch the movie, and rest more!
Yes, I should do all that. I will start with a breathing treatment, then the shower, then maybe go to Walmart...no...maybe to McDonald’s for an iced chocolate mocha. That sounds better!
We’ve seen “Tuskegee Airmen.” Good movie.
The iced chocolate mocha does sound good! I had some cantaloupe.
I’ve seen “Tuskegee Airmen,” as well, but it’s worth a second look. I will watch it tomorrow night.
Yep, I’ll do iced chocolate mocha. McDonald’s makes the BEST!
LOL, Bob.
Could you use a big safety pin on the top of the zipper?
Not my fault.
Wow.
That cat is hysterical.
