Morning Mr. Moose

Just a quick note today... Something way back in my life, has made me a pretty curious person. Usually before I go outside, or go to bed, or whatever I'm doing, I like to see whats going on around me...or better yet--who or what is out there. (Maybe that's more it) Anyway, I think I'm some what claustrophobic. So...this morning when I stepped outside to go to work, about 10:30 am, I opened our front door, and about 10 feet away, was a young moose, just standing there eating our tree. As I started out the door, he just turned and looked at me, then went back to eating. I didn't see his mother, and that made me nervous. I came back in the house and went out the back door, where my vehicle was more easily accessible without getting to close to him.
Wouldn't you know it, today was one of those rare days that I did NOT look outside to see who or what was out there. We all need to be aware of our surroundings whether here in Alaska or where ever you live. Sooooo be careful.
