Doin' It Right

For all the naysayers, here's a new and improved picture of a moose. If that's not sufficient for you, you'll just have to come up here and see them yourselves. Being moose, they're not exactly eager to pose for pictures or let you get too close, so this is about as good as it gets from my camera. I thought it would be fun to go up to Anchorage for the day on Saturday. Partly fun and also partly to take my truck back to the place that put on the new tires and get them to fix the squeak/grind noise I've been hearing. Luckily, that business aspect of my trip was successful, because my goal of having fun was not. Even while going under the speed limit and being passed by other cars, I still lost control of my truck going about 60 as I was coming into the city on a busy divided highway and fishtailed around, finally, by the grace of God, coming to a stop without hitting anything or anyone. I stopped facing the opposite way of trafic. The day just went more downhill from there. The ride home was a nightmare because my headlights weren't working properly. Suffice to say, I'm content to stay in Seward a while and don't really care to visit Anchorage again any time soon. I did see an ECHL hockey game, though, between the Alaska Aces and the Phoenix Roadrunners. Minor league hockey, I learned, is actually pretty fun. Until later...
