The bulk of tomorrow will be one of the annual rights of approaching spring, the field day and clinic and scrimmage for umpiring for the just around the corner high school season.
Moose are great. They would come down into town during the winter in Anchorage and you’d see the all the time. Many times I’d see one on a run and have to turn around because it wouldn’t clear the trail.
If I recall correctly, Wossamotta U's mascot is the Moose. I forget if that is why Bullwinkle went there, or if they changed it to a moose because of his accomplishments there.
Petting a porcupine must have been surreal. I can only imagine.
Decades ago I was on a backpacking trip in the Adirondacks. Porcupines were known inhabitants of the region. They like salt, so we were warned to keep our boots in the tent while sleeping lest they chew on the boots.
Also, you can kill a porcupine by hitting it on its nose. Supposedly, if you hit a porcupine on its nose, the bone it's attached to travels upward and into its brain, killing it.
Most recent knock on my door was when I had a furnace repair guy come out for an estimate on my leaking furnace. Been braving 55 degrees inside since I found water leaking from the unit. He eyeballed it and recommended replacing the secondary heat exchanger, though he did not sound particularly sure of his diagnosis.
My upstairs neighbors are still working at Indiana Univ. so are only here during school breaks. Whenever they are heading back I get a knock and they have a bag of food for me they didn’t get around to eating.
It’s time once again for Oski Disciple’s Question of the Day. (Last in a series.)
Whose Axe?
Our Axe!
WHOSE DOMICILE?
Sad to see the series sunset. As much uncertainty as exists in today's word, I can't imagine even an Oski Disciple has no further questions.
I have many other questions but they all contain language that is unsuitable for this forum.
I've read this forum after Cal FB losses. If that language wasn't "unsuitable", I can't imagine the terminology you are thinking of!
WEEKEND PLANS
Having one hour stolen from my life!

YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL THAT LIVES IN THE WILD (BESIDES BEARS)
Elk. A spectacular animal in the wild. And big.
Wild horses are a close second.
Moose. If any team or university adopted moose as their mascot I'd become a fan (certain members of the former Pac 12 excluded).

I'm a huge Wossamotta U fan. BTW Rocky and Bullwinkle were a creation of Jay Ward Productions and Jay Ward was a Cal grad.
... and a Berkeley real estate agent. Ward Realty was in business as recently as 10 years ago, maybe even more recently.
Porcupines (I got to pet one once)
Anteaters
Penguins
If you are ever in the Cape Town area of South Africa, Boulders Beach is a fantastic opportunity to hang out with penguins in the wild.

Yeesh.
I’ve heard that nose killing move also works on people, if you get the right angle.
Not many species are going to survive being hit in the nose hard enough at the right angle that it drives nose bones up into the brain!
Doesn't work on a U$C fan because if you drive the nose upward it just hits empty space.
dcTrojan excepted I assume?
We were told this by a teacher in 7th grade. I don’t remember why the teacher was compelled to tell us this.

Nobody knocks on the door here. They all ring the doorbell.
