Well, I guess the title of the post probably says it all ... the neighbor across the street called me up (thank goodness I bought the boy scout popcorn for the kid - it was worth the $15 for him to have my phone number) and said, "Mike, I just wanted to let you know there's two bull moose fighting in your front yard."

So, naturally, after staring at them for a few minutes through the window, I cautiously approached one, got on, and rode it around the block!

Just kidding, I didn't ride one, but I did sneak outside to take some pictures. It was the coolest thing. They were sparring a little bit. They were far more interested in tearing my tree down than sparring, though. Oh well. I guess moose hate the environment. I loaded up a few pics for ya.

That's my driveway ... that was my tree ... and those are my moose.

Well, the snow has been falling here in Alaska - we've really been enjoying its beauty! I've been hiking once up into the Chugach mountains in several feet of snow, and we just recently went sledding on a hill by our house.
We have studded tires on our cars. (For you Florida types, studded tires are tires with little metal spikes sticking out of them.) This helps us grip on the road. The main roads stay pretty well plowed; it's the side roads where you really have to be careful.
Here's a video of Char sledding ... thought you might enjoy it!
