MOOSE!!!!UGH!!!!
For any of you out there who have never seen one...THIS IS A MOOSE, Pretty you may think...trust me...not so pretty at midnight, in the middle of the damned road. I hit one of these lovely creatures Wednesday night at midnight...with my NEW car, in fact the first payment hadn't even been mailed yet. We were lucky, none of us were hurt...my car, however, did not fair as well. We were headed home from the State Fair, about 80 miles away from home, I had by daughter and two of her friends with me, in fact I had ONLY gone (I HATE THE STATE FAIR) so that my baby wouldn't have to drive home after dark alone...thought I could keep her safe...once again I was wrong. I was behind the wheel, had been for about 20 minutes, when one of these beasts appeared in front of me, in fact 2 moose were in the road, if I had tried to avoid the one I hit I would have hit the second straight on and we probably would have gotten hurt. Tourists love to see these fucking things...think they are beautiful, they go in search of them...I HATE THEM!!!!
I do, however, believe that my guardian angle was watching over us and I thank her with all my heart.
