in a grocery store in Wasilla (yes, that Wasilla, where Sarah Palin sometimes still resides):
A young moose walked into the Carr's grocery store Thursday morning in Wasilla, munching on small pumpkins in the store's floral department before getting shooed out.
The male calf briefly stopped the morning commute on the Parks Highway as it strolled toward the store, triggering the automatic outside doors, said Joani Thompsen, who works nearby.
"The doors just opened up and he went right in," Thompsen said. "It probably smelled like breakfast to him."
A floral department employee told KTUU the moose munched on a gourd display before another employee shooed it back out the doors.
That's life in Alaska, folks. We share our community with a lot of large critters ... because they were here first, after all. :)
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.”

How many Wasilli are there?
:-)
I'm still trying to wrap my head around Unalaska, which sounds like the opposite of Alaska, akin to matter/antimatter!
gfa
Guffaw ... Wasilli? Only the one, we think. Re: Unalaska, you're trying to apply English-speaking rules to a place with an Aleut name. That'll learn ya!
Those animatronics look so real!
ROTF... Fun times in Alaska...
Think a moose would be better to have wander in than a bear!
Doncha wonder how a moose recognizes a pumpkin as food? Lol, after all they are not too common in the wild.
Ed - it's getting them to trot around the parking lot that's the tricky bit. :)
NFO - absolutely. Just give 'em their space.
Chickenmom - that happens, too, but not as often.
threecollie - I'm guessing it's the smell, rather than the shape.
Rev. Paul,
I'm surprised the staff stood there blocking the door. A moose could cause physical damage to the human body.
Sandy, it was only a baby. We can get by with herding/shooing a calf, where Mama Moose would charge & stomp.
