The Lovely Ms. Bullwinkle, Taken Before Her Time

This gorgeous young cow moose had the misfortune of wandering onto a mountain highway (the top of Logan Canyon above Garden City, Utah) last night. The small car that hit her and its occupants suffered damage too. Happily, the people will live.

Moose have reputations for being gangly and cantankerous animals. They are also, to me, very beautiful.

Detritus

For the kids who stole this van, it was just something to do; a way of getting a free ride where they could steal beer from convenience stores and not have a vehicle identification matter since they were going to dump it anyway, after trashing it.

For the owner, it may have been loss of work transportation, violation of sacred space, a terrible expense and - understatedly - an inconvenience.

And so I pick up the pieces, largely a spectator. Until it's my turn.

EMT Dress Code

The three people in church clothes are local EMTs from Woodruff at a car crash in the mountains. Okay, so we don't really have a dress code. The reason they're in church clothes is because they were in church when their radio pagers and cell phones went off.

I love our volunteers EMTs.
