And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

This moose looks annoyed, and an annoyed moose is a dangerous moose
I was camping in a north Idaho back-country airstrip. On the edge of a small lake. There were a couple of moose's at the far edge from me. I slept under open sky that night and early the next morning I awoke to something blowing in face. I opened my eyes and there was a moma moose sniffing me. Her snout was no more than 3 inches from my face. I pretended to go back to sleep. Her and her calf wandered off with no more interest in me. It was quite alarming.
She looks yummy to me. Sliced about an inch and a quarter thick, pan fried medium rare in salt pork renderings, and served with roasted carrots and a great big Maine baked potato.
Late winter bull. Antlers have been shed. Moose have notoriously bad eyesight. This one looks curious as to what made the noise. If he was annoyed or felt threatened, his ears would be flat back. THAT's a very bad sign when that happens cause you ain't outrunnin' big, brown & fuzzy.

ReplyDeleteGood thing she is vegetarian, unlike a wolf.
DeleteVegetarian or not, she’ll still tear you a new one...
