The format of a My Take is 150 words – no more, no less – to express an opinion on a different topic each week. This week’s topic was the moose.
By Matthew McCully
I have driven across the country three times, and I have never seen a moose in person.
But as much as I’d like to, I’m not about to drive down the road ask the Capelton moose for an autograph.

I know, we shouldn’t interfere with the natural world.
Could you imagine how complicated life would become if we had to set up a roadblock for every Tom, Dick and squirrel that needed to cross the street.
But in this particular case, we’re talking about an animal the size of a horse standing on thin ice, sandwiched between two busy roads.
I’m shocked wildlife protection officers popped by, saw that it was upright and assumed everything’s fine.
That’s like believing a teenager when they say school went great.
