I had my first real Alaskan experience today. While on my way to the library (which is in the middle of Anchorage, which is the biggest city in Alaska mind you) I was driving past a grove of trees just beginning to bud when out comes running this moose straight towards my car. The car we rented is not big by any means, and so I don't think I would have been the one to walk away unscathed in this kind of a collision. Luckily it was just trying to play chicken with me and I won so it stopped and I drove on. Cars behind me stopped and the moose criss-crossed its way across the street to the other side of the park. Was I scared? No, more amused than anything. I couldn't help but think, "Only in Alaska". I guess on some roads they have signs with a Year to Date moose kill count and already it is around 300 and the year is not even half over. Wow!
Those idiot meese, don't they have any sense? Well I'm glad it was just a close call. I miss you already, so post some pictures of you guys and the beautiful surroundings!
