I’ve been home for a week, hence the posting, but tomorrow, I set off for parts relatively unknown for two weeks.

So, intermittent, hit and miss posting for the next few weeks. Subscribe in a reader. It will save you the trouble of stopping by to see nothing going on.

Some of you are all kinds of psyched about your own trips to BlogHer in SF, which is wicked.

Blackbird is holding BlogHere, at her house. No, I’m not attending that either. I have to work. On the psychic tour.

I expect to be keeping a watchful eye out for moose on the highway. The highway which is foggy. Must be all the swampy moose habitat which lines the road to my venue that creates all the fog.

I was a nervous wreck last time. Those critters are huge. And? They will charge a car, and I’m not talking credit cards here. A car that collides with a moose will hit it about knee level, and the moose will fall forward into the windshield, thrashing its antlers about inside the vehicle in its death throes. People seldom survive these collisions. At least this time, I’m not the driver. I’ve never been so happy to be in the back seat since high school.

Keep my seat warm for me when I’m away?

Kristabella Says:

Moose? Holy crap! I live in the city only because I know that there are no deer running down Lake Shore Drive in Chicago.

If I saw a moose, I’d definitely crap my pants.

You’re welcome for the visual.

Yikes! I will never look at Bullwinkle the same again.

“Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.”
“Oh Bullwinkle, that trick NEVER works.”
“Oh, I got it this time.”
“RRROOOOAAAARRRRRR!!!”
“Oops, wrong hat.”

teeni Says:

Yikes. I didn’t realize all that about the death throes of the moose. That is very scary. I know an old supervisor of mine who had hit a moose. I guess she and her husband were very lucky to have survived.

Loralee Says:

Moose are scary big creatures.

I totally wish I could pack you in a bag and bring you along. You would be all sorts of fun to meet.

Have fun at BlogHere!

Talina Says:

They really do that? Wow, that is scary and a bit foreign to me. Can you snap a photo of a moose for me? I have never seen one, but don’t make them mad. I don’t want them to smash the car you are in…

Marti Says:

Okay so in my part of the world we have deer crossing.
Moose?
That is just some freaky crap.
And the deer are SCARED of us. If I had some big ass moose heading for me then I would officially shart myself.

Safety first (then much alcohol!)

We’ll be waiting for your safe and sound return. Dare I ask who is going to sit in the front?

Krissa Says:

Well, shit. You’re leaving us, huh? I should probably remind you that you’ll be missed and let you know that I will be praying for any moose in the area. Cause, you know, you don’t hurt them, they won’t hurt you…
Hurry back!

Krissas last blog post..So far today…rather uneventful.

The Over-Thinker Says:

I think the unofficial Canadian BlogHer “conference” sounds like one helluva good time. Think BlackBird would ever consider letting a Yank in? Put in a good word for me, will ya?

The Over-Thinkers last blog post..Everytime I post, an Angel gets its’ wings…Poor, poor Angel. My bad.

Jenny Says:

In my hometown people are forever getting attacked by moose. The story always starts like this “He was out walking his dog …” I’m guessing moose don’t like dogs. Whooda thunk?

Old Knudsen Says:

I’ve heard that the Moose suicide rate is very high due to anxiety about being hunted. I once had a moose loose about me hoose, a bit of poison got it, they aren’t that big.

Christy Says:

I am afraid to go to Canada now. Not safe like here in USA.

SARS, mooses (meese?), socialized medicine, cold weather…..

What’s with the crazy mooses? Or is moose already plural?

“I’ve never been so happy to be in the back seat since high school.” Now that is a classic statement!
