I saw a coyote on my way home from work early yesterday morning. It made me think of this site. Those pictures and stories can always make me smile.
I remember one night awhile back, around 4:00 am, I was home alone and heard a pack (or at least a few) of coyotes right outside my window. They don't howl all that often like you'd think. They make a really weird noise that almost sounds like geese or some type of bird. I call it the Wobble-head* mating call. In the daylight it might sound goofy, but in the dead of night it's very eery. I tried to get a glimpse of them outside, but they were already gone by the time I worked up the nerve to pull up the blinds.

*A Wobble-head, for those of you unfamiliar, is a someone or something that lives out in the woods. There is a local forrest preserve in my area, and it's an urban (rural, actually)legend that escaped mental patients live out there. They have huge heads and make a noise that sounds like "wobblewobblewobble". Then they chase you with their giant heads. Kind of retarded if you ask me, it's not even a scary urban legend.
But, once an escaped serial killer took cover in this same forrest. Not even kidding. Now that is scary.
I also got stoned and made out with a guy for the first time in this forrest. Apparently, this place had a great influence on my life. Who knew.
