All Alice Saw Was A White Rabbit

             

 

An albino moose on the loose in Park City, Utah (pix courtesy of my friend Allen Brown, in Heber City).

You've gotta wonder what could cause a moose to turn white. I suspect that it's a congenital condition - I don't care what Freddy Mercury and Queen say, a little silhouette-o of a man will NOT scare a moose, scare a moose, will you do the fandango?...and, even if you COULD scare a moose, I can't imagine that you could scare one that bad.

I don't want to spend too much time talking about this - it's Lent, and I've given up over-whining about my recent geographic change until after Easter (but not all that recent - yesterday was 1000 days since I moved to Arizona). And when I look at this picture, it's easy for me to go into an emotional spiral, smoke streaming out my tail, and wind up augering in, crashing against a hillside of reality. So I'll just avoid reality - as Elwood P. Dowd said, "Doctor, for years I struggled with reality, and I'm glad to say that I finally won out."

(mental note: watch Harvey again. Soon.)

My father-in-law is packing today, getting ready to fly back up to the frozen tundra wasteland Indiana tomorrow. They have snow in Indiana, but not enough, and they do not have moosen (plural of moose (okay, it's just my plural. But adding an -en is a German way of creating plurals of nouns, and if there was ever a word that sounded German, it's "moose" (as Silas quoted somebody as saying, "German isn't a language so much as a head cold" (yes, that was a triply-parenthetical statement - it was, that is, until I added this, making it quadruplicately-parenthetical : ))))

Well, I reckon it's time I shut up now. I've probably generated enough wisdom and mental health in this post to last you folks until tomorrow.

    Interesting that you should mention "Harvey". I ordered a new copy on DVD just last week. The old VHS copy that I had taped off a cable channel many years ago finally gave up the ghost.

    You probably know this, and I'm wrecking the humor by posting it, but the "a little silhouette-o of a man will NOT scare a moose," line is about Scaramouche :)

    I've got Harvey somewhere near the top of my NetFlix queue...might need to bump it up a little further...

    But of course there could be moose in Indiana! Growing up in Iowa I well remember the lost moose which wandered through the central part of the state one year.

    Indiana does have that barrier of Lake Michigan, but moose can swim! Or he could walk down from Sault Ste. Marie. No self-respecting moose would be thwarted by such pitiful barriers... if he really wanted to get to Indiana.

    Hollister California pursues the technique of "walking self-marketing",hollister, where in wearing an item of clothing from HCO results in direct advertising. This is notably achieved through the large embroidery or screenprint of the brand's name,hollister uk,hollister2, initials,Hollister Clothing, fictional date of establishment and the flying seagull logo on the vast majority of their merchandise. The HCO-labeled shopping bag carried out of the store produces a similar effect. As a result, the company has not relied on media marketing to communicate its desired look and appeal. The brand's marketing images are sepia toned and modified in order to look somewhat faded; this is reminiscent of the grayscale marketing images used by the Abercrombie & Fitch brand. The sepia toned images provide HCO's campaigns with a vintage feel that is adequate to their fictional date of establishment,hollister2, and the lifestyle promoted by the brand.
