The Local Wildlife
One of the great things about our location seven miles north of Fairbanks is the opportunity we have to see moose in our yard. They are common all over town, but it seems we see them more here than anywhere else in our previous experience. A couple of days ago the girls and I were able to observe a young bull from our porch, just about 30 feet away.
It’s interesting that he walked by the car, which gives you a sense of his actual size. This male is young and small. Full grown, Alaskan bull moose are the largest in the world and can be as tall as seven feet at the shoulder.

I’d rather look at these awesome pictures than talk about Sweatt and Fundamentalism any day!

Point taken Dave. God knows my heart; the fundamentalism talk is more of sincere concern than simply axe grinding. Although, if we don’t grind the axe once in while we’ll all be running around with dull blades!
