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.

Of course, going Tango Uniform would allow me to avoid both taxes AND Mondays, but I’m not sure that’s my favorite alternative.

Lots of people, especially those with large families, get pews for furniture when a chapel is remodeled. Some fairly clever designs have been used.

Yes, it IS Monday, and I was up paying my respects to the Great Toilet God, Ort. I don’t know what the deal was, as I had been asleep. I had a breathing treatment, as I was having some chest pains, and had to stop in the middle.

I don’t feel too bad this morning, but it will be a slow-moving day. Or a day of slow-moving. Something.

74 degrees, 69% and rain forecast for the day.

Mondays come anyway, even to those who don’t work. The Mondays don’t seem to care if one is unemployed. They use their dark magick to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting...called...MONDAY!

I wound up there by treating the interwebs the same way I drive.

If I'm not in a hurry I take turns down streets I've never traveled before just to see what's down there. Sometimes I get lucky.

By the powers vested in me by I’m-not-exactly-sure-whom I hereby declare today the official UT “sloth day.”

I can declare the whole week if you’d like. :-)

I’m sorry you’re not well. I suggest you rest a lot today!

It’s not hard to get lucky on this inter-thingie if that’s what you want. Every other page I’m treated to somebody who wants to introduce me to somebody for sexual purposes. They even show pictures.

Fortunately, Mrs. ArGee is in a class by herself so I don’t have to find out what the purposes of such ads really are or what the women really look like.

Nope, I’ll settle for a Monday, since I already have the S-L-O-W-s. (Said very slowly...)

I’m still trying to decide if I want breakfast. Maybe I should just wait and have it for lunch, instead. :o|

It’s almost lunchtime here.

I’ve decided that dreaming about Missouri means I need to visit my parents. I’ll email OldTax-lady and ask her to get me a ticket. Maybe in November or early December.

When I pulled up my email, there was a note from Mom saying, “Your email yesterday sounded crazy. Why don’t you take a few days off and come visit us?”

DON’T GO!!!!!

At least not if they’re going to try to change the ‘crazy’ part. Being a little crazy is the only way I stay sane.

Now for lunch. Mrs. ArGee packed dragon wings. My absolute favorite!

I, too, have felt you need to see your parents, but if I could make a suggestion...(out of line, of course) I would go sooner.

Just sayin’.

I was out talking to Crazy Frank. He wanted me to stay and drink with him, but I don’t feel in the mood to drink at 0900, even if it IS a Monday!

Pentatonix is another group you will enjoy, I’m sure. (YouTube) I believe they were first. One of the guys is in both groups.

Their voices are so clear and sweet. And the percussions are all vocal.
