Moose

Driving down the road in the rain. Truck in front of me starts breaking for no discernible reason. Out of the brush on the other side of the road a moose emerges and starts sauntering across the road. Behind the first moose comes another, this a big buck with an impressive rack. He too saunters casually across the road. Traffic now stopped for at least a block in both directions. Moose reach other side of the road and slowly amble along the shoulder, grazing as they move. Cars start cautiously moving again.  Everyone with a cell phone has it out and their windows are down in the rain as they take shots while slowly driving past the moose. The moose are totally oblivious to their adoring public and ignore the cars completely.

Another afternoon drive in Anchorage made special by moose doing nothing more nor less than being moose.
