Today while I was driving to swimming I had to stop in the middle of the road to allow a young moose to cross the road. The moose seemed oblivious to the 45 mph traffic driving by. It crossed the 2 lanes going westbound and then stood in the median in a big pile of snow and then right as some cars driving eastbound came right up to it, it decided to jump right out into traffic. The poor moose was thrown up on top of the suv and then bounced off the hood and landed on the road. The impact made the poor little guy poop, so this poor moose was laying down on the icy road with a bunch of bouncing moose turds around it. I'm not sure if it was okay or not. I didn't want to cause an accident by stopping in the middle of the road. And the moose was at least okay enough to get up and walk back to the side of the street. My first instinct was to call 911, but then I realized that they probably wouldn't care (There's a sign going out to Palmer that tallies the hundreds of moose that are killed each year.) Poor beasts.
Neil asked me to report that he played basketball at our friend Jared's church tonight. (He's also playing in their league, which plays every Saturday morning at 7 am.) He had a good time tonight. He even won Super Bump, whatever that is. Consider yourself informed.

Poor little moosie. Just minding his own business and some gas guzzeling SUV comes along and plows a guy over.
That is really sad! Hopefully car and moose are OK. Likely doubtful on both.
