Not dogs; or at least I have never heard a dog make that thin, almost whinnying keen before.

Agreed. That definitely sounds like coyote. They're not uncommon in these parts--I'd say that, while I don't hear them every night (and I've never noticed a pattern as to which nights they're vocal and which nights they're not) I do hear them pretty frequently, and every so often I see them crossing the road, looking like skinny grey German shepherds but moving with a purposefulness that's most undoggy.

I will be curious to hear if they return tonight. I expect I will still be awake.

I hope you find some sleep tonight, but I am curious to hear if you might hear them again tonight.

The turkey looks very cute, and, more importantly, sounds delicious. Thank you for preserving a photograph of this obviously endangered species.

Glad you had both impressive brownies and conversation which surpassed even them. I wish you many more.

I should know more obscene Greek verbs.

You know more of them than I do. That said, I hope you can learn some more soon.
