First, before the incident that happened yesterday, days or weeks ago, the principal from another school died because a big truck caused big dust to float in the air and she couldn't see, so she sped right under the truck and died.
Just yesterday, a kid from my school was going somewhere, when a moose came right into the windshield and killed him!
Yikes, scary to think.

Eep! That is really tragic. Did the moose die?

Did the moose die? I don't know, but I would say yes.

I don't know, but I would say yes. *GASP!* MOOSE! ;_; So sorry about the kid in your school. It's scary to think about how life could end that quickly (and randomly).

So you have to ask yourself..."If I die, will I look back at my life and be happy? Have I lived my life to the fullest?" and, well, if you haven't...just pretend that every day is your last.

Just yesterday, a kid from my school was going somewhere, when a moose came right into the windshield and killed him! Yikes, scary to think. *blinks* When I went to Alaska last summer, assorted relatives (I've still never quite sorted out how the son of my dad's cousin is related to me) and I went fishing on a lake. Eventually we gave up, and my dad's cousin drove us home. He and my uncle sat in front. All was fine, barring the lack of fish, until a female moose and its calf decided to cross the road at the same time we drove through the stretch. It was lucky that my dad's cousin managed to swerve and hit the calf instead of the adult; the calf was just short enough that it went under the van. The adult would probably have gone up and through the windshield, killing my dad's cousin and my uncle as well as dying itself.... No, the story's not really relevant

But. . . a little baby animal died! *sniffle* Poor, poor little moose calf. . . Wow. . . it's amazing how something that would be so incredibly funny in a cartoon or joke or something can be so incredibly sad and scary when it happens in real life. . .

Between hitting the big moose and the little one, though, hitting the calf was lucky. I'd rather have a moose calf dead than my uncle and cousin. Secondly: How well could a calf survive with its parent dead? Maybe a wildlife group would find it and keep it safe, or maybe it would run off and they wouldn't be able to help it. At least it was limited to one casualty.

Holy crap that's weird... The playgrounds in my county are all closed down, because they found a dead body in the turf-type thingy and so they didn't let us on 'em They took out the turfie today...
