re: #268 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
I happen to share the wild north country with moose and bears. Never seen one up close and personal myself, but my first week living in the wild north country, an honest-to-God moose was running around on the freeway, lost. And then my brother-in-law on the other side of the Cities had an encounter with a black bear in his driveway.
I once got out of the car to take a pee one the side of the road between Payson and Flagstaff, AZ. Looked up to see a 2,000-pound bull elk staring down at me. Fortunately, there was a fence between us.
