Moose Lands On Car

Holy cow, make that moose, here's a crazy story! A 600-pound bull moose walked onto U.S. 95 Monday morning and collapsed on the trunk of a woman's car after being shot by a tranquilizer dart!

Can you imagine being behind the wheel at a stoplight when that happened? The Coeur d'Alene Press has the story. Ever have something unusual land on your car? Someone threw a bottle out of a hotel room window one time and guess who's car it hit several stories below? Yep, mine. Not nearly as cool as a moose.

Years ago my husband was driving on the freeway behind a pickup truck. As they travelled over bumps, what appears to be a rope kept flying up out of the truck bed then back down. They went over a larger bump and the "rope" flew out of the pick up, back onto my husband's windshield, and then he could see that it was actually a snake! Of course because they were travelling so fast it bounced right off and into the road behind him.

Another time he was driving up South Perry and had to swerve because some very clever person at the top of the hill had released a bowling ball and it was rolling down the street.

WOW! I love your story, Julie!
That is amazing. I would love to roll a bowling ball down Freya and film it ONLY if I could be sure no damage would happen to someone's person or property.

A snake?? Really? If it had remained on MY hood, I would have driven into a pole trying to get it off.
