Driving down the hill this morning to work and suddenly the car in front of me stops quickly. I had no idea traffic lights could get so backed up here - we're really far back! Then I notice the other side of the road has stopped too...

Because there was a Moose who wanted to cross the road!!!

She waited very patiently for both sides to stop, then walked across the road to the other side. It was the best way to start the morning! Where else but Alaska is your commute interrupted by a moose?? (Yes, I'm aware other states have moose, just go with me...)

And it was a great reminder how freakishly tall they are compared to my car.

Really, really don't want to hit a moose...
