HERCULES EXPLOSIVES - U.S. Air Force explosive ordnance disposalmen detonate explosives attached to the wings of a C-130 Hercules aircraft at Sather Air Base, Iraq, July 7, 2008. The aircraft was disabled after it made an emergency landing last month, and the airmen used a series of controlled detonations to divide the aircraft into smaller pieces so it could be moved. The disposalmen are assigned to the 447th Air Expeditionary Group.U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Jeffrey Allen

Missing Man Setting

Never Forget Those Who Sacrificed All That We Could Live In Freedom!!

A local soccer field....

Not illegal, BUT VERY VERY STUPID!!! This is a yearling.

David Nicolai was at the park watching an adult soccer game around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when the moose meandered onto the field. The referee ended the game, he said.

At first, said Nicolai, the moose was trying to rub his own snout -- against a tree, then unsuccessfully with his gangly back leg. "He was obviously itchy," he said.

That's when Bodnar walked up to the moose with just the netting of a soccer goal between him and it, and reached out his hand. The moose nudged him gently, and Bodnar responded by stroking its snout.

Safe commute home, AZ...watch out for critters!

[MEG33]

:o) Love your moose pictures.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Hope, for today's Pledge. Thanks to you, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your parts in helping keep all of us free and safe.

Down in this neck of the woods we have soccer matches stopped for thunder, but I've never seen one stopped for a moose!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting. We must never forget the sacrifice of those who gave their all for us to be free and safe.

Moose are not big pets! d:o)....that guy is crazy. And they are very unpredictable, and lash out with their front hooves. One stomped a guy to death at the university campus about 10 years ago.

[Kathy in Alaska]

They are interesting....but from not too close.

Moose - another reason we have telephoto lenses.

Good evening, my....computers shutting down here at work. Be back in a bit.
