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.

Do we have a new Crew member?
Or did He/She run for their lives?

But I thought I bought a ticket to ride to Nome, not NOLA, didn't I?

I shall add you to a ping list, but as I said, it is very low volume.

Free Republic has slowed considerably within the last hour at my local. Just a heads up .... Am almost at what would consider dial up speed ... from ten plus years ago.

I am officially blaming the slow down on the two listed above. They might not have done it but am going to blame someone. Take a bow ... Moose and Darksheare ... your fault ... LOL

Moose, if Veto! isn’t holding the witches cabin key ... Darksheare has it. Your task Moose is to secure the witches cabin key. I have done all I can.
