So I'm on my way to work with all it's darkened glory (I go to work and leave work in the dark most days now). And all of the sudden everybody is braking. I look over and realize everybody was already stopped on the other side of the divider. And then I see it... A moose. A giant moose bigger than the SUV that is directly between it and me. Then the cop next to me turns on his flashy lights and lights up the massive beast with the spotlight so we can all see it. 

Good news, Alaskans are so used to driving on snow/ice and stopping suddenly there was no collision but the moose was last seen in my rear view mirror ambling toward the coffee hut... Maybe he needed his morning cup. Maybe we're kindred spirits. :)
