Only in Alaska

Everybody has those days where you're in a rush and late getting to the places you need to get to. That was us last Saturday -- we had a million places we needed to be. We needed to drop off Ellianna at Grandma's house before dance lessons. We were waylaid by this moose, who was having a late morning breakfast in my in-laws' garden. One thing I've learned -- don't mess with a moose. There was nothing to do but wait for about 5-10 minutes to let her finish her meal and wander off before attempting to cross her path to the front door. In California, we'd have been stuck in traffic. In Alaska, we're stuck behind a moose. Go figure. She is quite beautiful, though, isn't she?
