The coyotes are rather noisy and active in the spring and summer, but this morning (late! It was 9!) they were very loud and just went on and on. If you haven't heard coyotes they sound like the very demons from Hell's Mouth. The yippingly strangled shrieks and responses echo hauntingly and make them sound very awful indeed although they aren't bad at all. They sound like they could be hyenas, but thank g'al they are not anything like those creatures. I am overjoyed every day of my life not to live near hyenas. I believe* that Mankind's expansion to cover much of the globe happened because people were trying to get well away from hyenas and I would've done precisely the same thing.

*looks around to make sure no hyenas are nearby*

*I was thinking yesterday that I believe nothing/believe everything. I keep experimenting to figure out what I believe in and think positively but it has been draining away this week. I'm reminded of my friend Hel Hel, who believed that once you die that's it. She died - I don't know if that was it. I find the concept of nothing a burden, sadly. However since I believe in all somethings as well as nothing, I'll just wait for the wheel to turn a bit.
