Nope, no moose sighting for me today. Day two of statistics class which if I could figure out how to write the code I have to admit is going to make my job easier. But I went to class when it was dark and I got done when it was dark and I hardly glanced at a window. The only thing I saw was my computer screen.
However, I did hear a lot of moose stories today. It started with a woman who missed yesterdays class and had come straight from the airport. She said that she checked out her rental car and was exiting the airport when a huge bull moose appeared at the side of the road and followed right next to her car. She was afraid that it was going to attack the car. From that story came the one about the women staying at a hotel across the street who said that she had seen one last year in the hotel parking lot. From there I was told about the moose that frequent the marine trail. Well, I walked that trail last month and didn't see any sign of moose.
After I got back to the hotel, I reached for the paper and stretched out to check out the news. On page A-10 was a picture of a moose seen Monday grazing in the cemetery. At the end of the caption was this web site adn.com/moose where people have posted their moose stories. Not all are pleasant. Seems the area moose are not friendly to the neighbors. Then on the last page of the paper in big letters it asked me "HAVE YOU GOT YOUR MOOSE CALENDAR YET?"
Seems everyone but me has a moose story.
