Another great Michigan football game

This past weekend we went up to Michigan to visit family and to watch Michigan kick Penn State's butt (by two points in the last second). It was a great weekend. Nice weather. Lots of family visiting. And of course, a tight, highly contested game that sent undefeated Penn State home with their first loss of the year.

Julie and Kathy in our tailgating spot. Bill, who is wandering on the street somewhere, managed to get us a nice spot very close to the stadium. It is excellent for watching everyone go by. 

The band walking past our tailgating spot. 

We were sitting near the Penn State fans. I have to admit, they were quite the inspired, rowdy bunch. 

Wow! That's a lot of people 

Michigan kicking off

It is kind of blurry because of the low light, but you can see the final score was Michigan 27, Penn State 25. M Go Blue!

Randy the moose

The other afternoon I saw some motion behind the house. I thought it was the subdivisions head construction guy Randy, who I needed to talk to. I opened the back door to see a moose butt heading aroound the corner. I grabbed my camera and went to the front door. He was standing about 15 feet away but decided he didn't like me or the camera and wandered off. He wasn't as huge as most bull moose so I am guessing that he is one of the two calves we saw here last year.

There was a report in the local paper that a moose had attacked a fiberglass moose about a quarter mile from here. Park City had one of those "paint the animals and sell them for charity" programs a few years ago. (Raleigh had wolves, Chicago had cows, ...) One of the painted moose is in someone's yard and apparently a real moose decided it was a threat. Based on the timing, I am guessing that young Randy the Moose was establishing his territory.
