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.

No, I didn't create it;wish I could write that well. It was a bestselling book, a perennial favorite of mystery fans, published in 1962 and reissued frequently. About two genteel but seriously nutzoid sisters who murder people. Or do they?

A good read for a cold, snowy Nome day when your musk ox fails to amuse you:)

Live gives me challenges when it sees I’m bored... ;o]

Isn't that the truth. When I start to complain, life gives me something to complain about. "Be happy, don't worry" should have been the name of that song.

We’re over here! http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3201555/posts

Yep...I try not to complain because I end up getting a bit more than I expected to deal with!

And when I think of others and their problems, I think I’m happy with the problems I have to deal with!

*HUG*

You just can’t get that kind of help anymore!

Thank you for the free travel advice.

I might drive.
