I was looking out the front window at my childhood home, and I saw that my parents had done something odd. A row of random lawn chairs and other outdoor furniture was arranged in a straight, diagonal line from one corner of the front yard to the other. Stepping out onto the porch, I soon realized that it was meant to be a makeshift wall, to discourage someone or something from crossing through our yard. I assumed it was probably some drunk neighbors that ride their 4-wheelers around the neighborhood. However, then I saw two giant moose run out of the woods. They paced back and forth, chasing each other around, but clearly trapped behind the wall of furniture. I ran out into the yard, trying to shoo them away, “hey! Git!” The larger male moose swiftly changed its course and charged straight at me! It raised on its hind legs, sending its hooves down at me. That’s the last thing I can remember… I guess it didn’t end well for me.
