7.26.09I was up at 5, but awake since 4. All the excitement and time change I guess has me up now.

It was a great morning for a walk and we saw alot of downtown that we didn't get to last year. Saw lots of interesting houses, buildings and stores along the way.

That bull moose was huge. We made stops at "Atheist Park" (aka Airport Park) and then down at the coast by the airport. It's just as beautiful as I remember it being...
On the way back we pull over to the side of the road to see another moose and some get out but Jay, Ryan and I do not. A wildlife conservation officer pulls up and Jay says that it would be cool to see him pull out his "sterilizer" gun (meaning of course, tranquilizer gun). Ryan and I are just 
dying laughing because Jay doesn't realize his blunder. Ryan asks him a couple more questions and then finally we fill him in on what he's saying. That was a running joke for the rest of the week. Good times.
