I was thinking of just how fast things can happen sometimes and low and behold....
One morning this past July as I was on my way to work I happened to have just such an encounter.
About 15 minutes into my 1 hr and 10 minute daily commute it was a bit foggy at about 5:30 am.
Just crusing along at a buck ten, thinking about the days work task assignments for my crew.
Travelling at 110km/hr we cover ground at a rate of about 100' per second
As I caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye
What decision will it make? Go or no Go?
So go it was...one more second...this isn't going to end well... I hit the brakes...
... and prepared for impact, just at that moment in time, it stumbled...now what? will I go airborne?
As the moose fell, I was able to swerve just enough to get around it without running it over it. As I looked in my rearview, it was trotting back across the road.
Here it is in real time.
