As I was working out in the garage this morning I heard a noise sounding like a horse running up the sidewalk. I looked outside in time to see a big (huge, actually) female moose go running up the sidewalk in front of our house. She was being tailed by a woman in a car, and every time the moose saw the car, she got spooked and went in another direction. She came running right at the garage and veered off to the south when she saw me standing there.

I ran into the house, told Nina, and got my little point-and-shoot digital camera. By then, the moose had run back down the street and was where I took the picture (click twice on the picture to see the full-sized version). She spotted open field to the right and disappeared a few minutes later. I would not have thought we would have a moose in our front yard!
