feelin' the Vibe

So, I have decided to leave tonight after work to Barrie. I figure I'm usually up til 2 or 3am anyways so I might as well use that time to get me somewhere. If I had to get up at 6am, then I figure that would be even more dangerous for me to drive for 4 hours with probably very little to no sleep.

So around 10ish (i'm thinking) tonight, I will be on the open and dark road in my little Vibe. All I am praying for is no run-ins with big wildlife animals. This may sound funny but it is no joke up here on the roads of the North. It is a common occurrence that people die because of hitting moose while on the highway.

Someone once told me, a Country Doughnuts delivery guy hit a moose on the highway and because the moose has such long legs, when you hit them, they just topple inwards onto your windshield. Well, anyways, this story was told to me about this delivery guy and how the moose fell right into the windshield and the guy was in critical condition with glass in his eye and everything....it's a pretty scary thing.

I saw my first moose last weekend actually! I was heading to Sudbury with my mother and grandma and all of a sudden, my mom hit the brakes and grabbed my arm. Taken aback, I look up and there is a momma moose and 2 babies who have stopped dead in their tracks on the road ahead. The momma moose carefully inspected us and made sure that we had come to a complete stop and headed across the road leading her little babies. It was the cutest thing ever!!!

I would never want to hurt any of those creatures, let alone what it might do to me too in the process....thus, I pray for a safe trip tonight!

See you in London!!!
