Sandi's Moose

Sandi Pierson has been getting a visitor. (Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized image.) "We were enjoying our second visit very much until he started ripping apart my prize young peach tree with his antlers," she writes.

"Then, like relatives visiting for a week, couldn't wait to see him go." She eventually let her dog, Cuckoo, out to drive the moose away. But "the moose just stared at the barking menace like he was an idiot.

"Thus, as the branches of my little tree went hither and dither, I went out for my own staredown and shot off my rifle into the loam pile a few times.. alas the visitor just stared back at the second idiot and commenced his fun. He finally walked off, and as he did I thought I heard a voice say, 'See y'all tomorrow!'"
