We were driving home from something recently, I forget what, and we cruise past an open area in our neighborhood to find this fascinating sight. It was one of those double-take moments and we just had to back up and look again. At that moment, we did not have a camera; however, we were undeterred in procuring a photograph. We sped home, I ran into the house (not literally) and grabbed the camera, ran back out to the car, and sped back to the oreo moose who was still at her post. We stared at her for quite some time and Pat got out to get a closer view. She seemed preoccupied with what we figured was another moose cow and calf in the area that we had seen taking a sip from an outdoor pool (a moose-bath, as opposed to a birdbath, if you will, or won't, whatever). We are still unsure of why this stripe is down only one side of her, but she was quite a sight for us.
On a "high" note...
Pat installed the ceiling fan that we have had for 6 months or so. I did not envy this job, so I never nagged for it to be completed. I came home the other day to find my fearless man up on a ladder upon the scaffolding of death. I was unwilling to try it out, though the back of my legs felt like they were waking up from being completely asleep: that needle-sting-tingle feeling. Yeah, go ahead and laugh. I can so relate to my mom. I hate heights. And ladders/scaffolding of death. Fortunately, my fabulous husband completed the task and did a perfect job of concealing the wires and it works marvelously. We are looking forward to having a sauna-less loft this winter, and it looks very nice.
Our recent walk on the beach made us feel a bit concerned. We weren't sure if we should alert the authorities, but it seems there is either an effort to bury the trolls or we have a very alien form of flora arriving on our beaches. It would have been one thing if it were a one-time sighting, but there were two such scenes, about 25 yards apart. It made me a little leery. We turned back soon after. We'll keep you updated if we find anything suspicious.

I think I've seen a photo of that scafolding in an e-mail. It was titled "why women live longer than men"!!
Oh my Pat.... I don't have anything to say. That's crazy!!!
awesome! he should have installed a belay hook so that if he needed to dust the fan blades he could just rapel down on a rope.

I think you are trying to give Linda a heart attack with those pictures of the scafolding of death.
