Mooseyard; and the Willie Fire

Phil says Moose rule my neighborhood. We had a family of moose (a mama and two "babies") in the common grounds at our Montana cabin a couple of years ago. Apparently this mama had wandered in to town that spring, and settled down on the lawn of the hospital to birth her twins. And they were back, browsing on the plantings of the park that summer when we were there. Born that spring, the "babies" were already seven-footers in August.

Willie Nelson came to town for a concert the first weekend we were there. Some idiot dropped his bike six miles south of town (on his way up Beartooth Pass) and started a big fire. The firefighters dubbed it "the Willie Fire". When my Irish friend first heard about it, his only comment was "... sounds painful!". The word "Willie" has additional connotations in the U.K. as compared with the U.S.
