Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Albino Moose

This photo was taken near Marenisco, MI. The only thing rarer than an albino moose is two albino moosies.

Being a cityfied gent grom the great Southwest, I don't get a chance to see much moose, much less white ones. D--n cool! You hunters out there: there's plenty of other critters you can bag and bring home; leave these alone.

Those aren't moose, they're pika with a thyroid problem.

Whoa. That would be something to see. I was just reading a thread on freerepublic about a hoose (horse-moose). It appears to be a probable hoax but the picture is interesting and thread is pretty funny.

Is There a Hoose Loose?

The plural of moose is mice!

The plural of moose is moose. A rarity in itself, but that's how it is. Just like the plural of deer is deer.

The mooses are serendipity, but someone should mention that neat albino stripe, too.

No, these were not moose seen in that area.

And I don't even believe the other web page. Apparently anyone will post anything on the net for some attention.

Ihave seen these elusive animals. The Canadian Ojibway Indians regard these creatures as spiritual and mystical, an actual reincarnation of a tribe member. Once tou have seen one you will never be the same. Similar to what Morrison experienced when he witnessed a Navahoe Indian car crash and had a soul leap into him. This is larger than you and I my friend. BTW great photos. Cheers Dr. Paul.

Says that picture was taken elsewhere. So who is lying and who is telling the truth?

If you go to www.google.com and type in their search area albino moose, you'll see that this photo was taken in either Newfoundland or New Brunswick. Plus you'll see more photos of albino moose....but not where this photos shows.

Some folks have nothing more to do but take phtos and stories and lie about them.
