We hit a moose tonight. It was a slow motion impact; we were only going 25 or 35 mph on the road our house is on. It hit right in the center of our truck grill and bounced off pretty dramatically to the right of us, actually hit my passenger side door.

We're okay and only feel the adrenaline stress of dealing with it, hopefully no whiplash tomorrow - prayers there.

It was a medium sized "child" moose, and the mom kept walking back and forth all around afterwards to check on her son. That part was sad. On a day when we didn't have our cell phone, we drove 1 more mile to our house and called the troopers as per "law". Meanwhile some random guy found it and wanted to take it home for meat. Our neighbor friend wanted it too, but we "did the right thing" and turned it.

Now it is on it's way to some church or other random person who is on a waiting list for just such things. At least if we didn't get the meat, someone who needed it will get it right...

That's our Monday night report! More miraculous events to report on later this week! Like final exams, a million basketball games, team pictures by mini-airplanes that look like a hawk.

Just another amazing day "Way Up North...to Alaska"!

Take that moose hair and fry it and give it to Santa Claus from Unipolimono.

Anyone remember that movie?
