Moose eat peaches!

While we were away for a few days a moose attacked our four peach trees and a pear tree. We know it was a moose because the pear tree was surrounded by a seven foot fence and the animal reached over the fence to eat the new growth! As my friend Jack Gondela said, a moose eating peaches is a geographic oddity. Now that central Maine is warm enough to be a peach growing area, moose have taken a liking to this new fruit.

I picked a bunch of peaches that had been half eaten by the piggy moose, complete with giant tooth marks. As they ripened I cut away the moose slobber and ate them...there is something thrilling about sharing a peach with a moose.

Gina and I will be leaving after Labor Day on a two month road trip around the US. We'll be driving our minivan equipped with a platform bed and camping out. We will be documenting the trip through this blog.

It's not hard for you to comment on the blog. You need a Google Gmail account...another way to capture people in the Googleplex. This word, coined by Wayne Curley, is defined as the complex of programs, apps, operating systems, email, etc. produced by Google. I remember thinking 20 years ago that Microsoft was attempting the same thing. Somewhere along the way they got lost. So, if you want to comment on the blog, get yourself a Gmail account and the rest should be easy.

See you somewhere on the Googleplex!
