      If you see an elk and you’re like “that’s a big deer” that’s an elk. If you see another elk and you’re like “that’s a monster from the dawn of time” that’s a moose.

      Fr. Moose wouldn’t be the only remaining megafauna in North America if they were the size of our deer.

      I was about the say that thing is tiny. Maybe even a bit less than half. And why are sequin coat guy’s pants so baggy in the legs? They look even crazier in the reflection.

        Almost hit one at a risky speed for daytime summer driving, but in a dark December Banff night. The 1999 pontiac firefly is a very nimble car, even at speed. Restoring it from fishtailing along the snowy highway in the dark of night like it’s a metronome was a welcome surprise because, as it was a white car, they wouldn’t’ve found us until the Spring.

        Why did they ship the moose from Omaha? I can confirm there are some RIGHT OUTSIDE the Banff Fairmont.
