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.
