Flare for Wulfir!

[wulfir]

I was driving in the middle of the night, along a desolate stetch of road in the north of Sweden - going a bit too fast (thought I could gain a little bit of time - stupid - I could have waited a few hours until daylight).

Then suddenly there were two moose - pretty large animals - ahead of me moving from right to left.

I hit the brakes, but it was clear it wouldnt' help. I knew knew it would go BANG. The last second or so I let go of the steering wheel and covered my face with my hands. Pure instict.

Killed one moose outright, wounded the other badly. It was later finished off by a policeman with his service pistol (normally hunters do this but none could be found that night)...

Chill in the traffic...
