On a recent cold night, I decided to wash some dishes. My wife and I live in a little dry cabin up near Hatcher Pass, which is to say we dont have running water. So I put a big pot on the propane stove to heat, rousted the dogs and took the 5-gallon bucket of dirty dishwater from under the sink to go dump it in the outhouse.

    True life story from the bush. Moose are unpredictable. They can and wil kill you if they feel like it.

    I suspect some moose related tidbits are soon to come.
 Something about a run-in with a sister?

    Much better a moose outside than a 6 ft. snake in the toilet. BTDT.

    Life is tough enough without getting assaulted by large critters when you need to take a dump in the middle of the night.

    Just be happy that the moose didn’t just bunt the outhouse over on its side.
Front door down.

    When I was very young, I was held hostage in an outhouse by a mean leghorn rooster. Granny said he was harmless but when he jumped on her arm and spurred her, she wrung his neck. A happy moment for me.

    It is twenty sixteen.

And the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is still canceled.

     Life is tough enough without getting assaulted by large critters when you need to take a dump in the middle of the night. True, but what you just described is basically what all of life's problems feel like when they first show up.

    Mooses hate indoor plumbing. Their lives are so much duller now.

    When I was very young, I was held hostage in an outhouse by a mean leghorn rooster. I can relate to that. As a lad more than once I was trapped in grandfather's barnyard by his angry "domesticated" goose. It sure was a mean, hissing thing (the goose, not grandfather).
