Tomorrow

Should be tonight too but that's ok. The overtime is nice and I've been able to buy a few more things for some collections of mine

 

[SEIndSAM]

Yeah, but I am worried about you. Hope that all of that overtime doesn't wear you out.

Moose are actually really dangerous.

I won't dispute this - but by the same measure a bad guy with a gun is also really dangerous but I wouldn't advance on him before deciding to fire.

If the guy had stopped and sat there when he first spotted it and waited instead of yelling, the moose may have done a full on charge. Bad, bad, bad thing.

No idea - hence armchair quarterbacking - I don't know enough about them.

By closing some of the distance he was protecting himself. The less distance, the less force behind the charge. And I also noticed that when he finally did fire, the first shot missed the moose. The guy was probably firing a shot to see if he could scare it off (I wasn't there so it's just speculation on my part). The moose still approached. Guy did what he had to do. We like to think of moose as these gentle majestic beings. Majestic, yes. Gentle, oh hell no. I would have done the same thing. Those things can be seriously vicious

But I think we can all agree a final shot to put it out of it's misery would have been best?

A final shot would have been best. That's true. But moose are HUGE! One shot may take it out, but depending on placement one shot might just **** it off even more. I'm no moose expert but I know enough about them to know that if they charge and a warning shot (if that's what it was) doesn't scare them off it's either you kill the moose or you end up injured/killed yourself. It does suck and I do hate to see any animal killed unless it's for food, but it is what it is. I probably would have done the same thing if I were in his shoes....maybe without the advancing on it part but it likely would have ended the same way

It's already worn me out

I'll be ok. I'm used to chasing bratty kids all over the place. I can handle this

I am not looking forward to tonight. Usually Thursdays are slow. I hope that's the case today. Last night I totally lost my temper with a customer (that never happens....seriously) and I felt so bad that I ended up giving him free pizza

 

[SEIndSAM]

We already saw a newbie get the ban hammer earlier. Maybe they have filled their quota for the day???

I would show up and try to **** you off just to get free pizza.

That is pretty funny. Glad you're still with us
