This story begins with a coyote. I’m not one of those fortunate people who often see interesting things from the car window as I pass by, but on Saturday evening I saw a coyote standing on the side of the road, staring. I wanted it to be a fox, because I’ve yet to see a fox in the wild, but it was not a fox, it was a coyote. I thought immediately of Loki and sent it good wishes for… Read more

0 Comments
