I could have died.

I almost hit a moose tonight. A big one. With full antlers.

I was driving home from Biggar...I was there late b/c my co-op and I were doing report cards. So it was pitch black out and I was cruising down the highway and all of a sudden there was a moose beside my car. He must have come up from out of the ditch on the same side of the highway as me. I couldn't see him until he was level with my car...I didn't even have time to brake. As I saw him I could see his legs were moving so I'm pretty sure he was running. If I had been even one second later I would have hit his whole body at full speed and he would have been laying in my seat.

I don't know if I've ever been so scared in my life. I know that I sometimes tend toward the dramatic, but I really am not exaggerating about how close of a call it was.

I think I'm still in shock.
