WILDLIFE WATCHING -- Kathy Johnson's photos and my recent post about moose taking over her backyard kiddie pool is getting quite a ride online.  It's even inspiring @twitmericks:

This week wildlife is not for slaughter
In  Spokane moose are given quarter
They look kind of cool
While sat in the pool
Though making a mess of the water.
