Good morning. It's 11 degrees with light snow falling; looks like we got an inch or so overnight, with more to come. An inch barely constitutes a "dusting" here, so it won't slow anyone down. Well, maybe it'll slow the people who moved here from Seattle or Portland over the summer ... tee hee hee. That's what they get for thinking they can come here and turn Alaska into their version of Socialist Utopia.
Oops - I said I wasn't going to rant.
Regarding that bull moose from Thursday (all those pics are of the same moose): there are three ways of looking at a moose, in Anchorage.
1. Alaskans see it and say, "There's another moose. I hope nobody messes with it, or hits it with their car."
2. Visitors (see the picture of the lady with camera, less than 30 feet from that large moose) see it and say, "Oh, lookit the pretty moose! Let's take a picture!" You know, because it's clearly a display for their personal viewing pleasure, and not a 1,400 lb. wild animal with antlers and sharp hooves at all.
3. Natives see it and think, "Lunch. Hand me my rifle."
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

I don't live there, but I agree with the native...Lunch
I like the native attitude vis-a-vis Lunch.
And here I thought the cold snap (otherwise known as nature's little love tap "Hello! You live in the subarctic now! Welcome to reality!") would have started to slow 'em down.
When I see a moose on the front lawn, my first thought is "I wonder how much I'd have to give the neighbors to keep them from reporting it - I mean, it's right there, I wouldn't even have to haul it out..."
Love those mooses. UP here in farrr N.Idaho the authorities rather leave it along side of the road than let some hungry soul dress it out. Go figure.
