Near Moose

The other morning as Mike was driving me to the airport to fly back to the village, a large dark shaped passed between the car in front of us and the truck we were in. At 6:30 in the morning it is still dark out. As we quickly closed in on the figure it became apparent that it was a moose. Mike Swerved into the other land to avoid hitting it. But there was a "Thwack!" What was that, we are still alive so we obviously did not hit the moose, right? I looked out the passenger side window to see that the mirror had been knocked in. No damage, but we must have grazed the read end of the moose with the passenger's side view Mirror! The moose might have had a sore hind end, but a least she lived to see another day, and so did we.
