Fancy News; our Moose has made an appearance!

It may not be widely known, but our little Springfield, Vermont, besides having been elected the Official Home of the Simpsons, has the distinction of hosting a resident moose population, and last evening one of the younger members of that clan made an appearance in the public parking lot off of Mineral Street near the Comptu Falls.
It was a most pleasant visit at first. Now that it is Spring, neighbors are out and about - people and other creatures who haven't seen each other or been outside to enjoy nature at all in months. It was nice to see Moose come down to town and poke around with mild curiosity, at least until for some reason (unknown to man, or beast it turns out) a member of the Springfield police force decided to use the police cruiser as a communications device.
"You shouldn't do that officer!", offered neighbor Bob, but no, the officer proceeded to go through the complete Moose vocabulary offered by a small-town squad car, and when he was done the little moose came over and most deftly crushed the hood to the pavement with one smooth, almost elegant gesture - with an apparent ease and effortless grace that left all breathless with astonishment, and full of admiration for a critic of bad behavior that doesn't mind being forceful in the pursuit of decorum.
