There's a coyote in my neighbourhood that I've been trying to befriend, solely by sending out good vibes everytime we pass. This coyote is real active in daylight - my mum calls him Braze N. Coyote (his great granddaddy was Wile E.) and my dog mistakenly thinks he'd be a great friend. The other day, I think that coyote and I bonded. So Mister Braze, I hope you're listening - this is me sending you some groovy tunes to enjoy. Please don't eat my dog. Just enjoy some sick sick music, kick back, relax,

Been thinking about woodpeckers a lot. Here, I usually only see Northern Flickers - I don't mind them, but to me, they aren't that classic woodpecker look - the media has convinced me that the true woodpecker is that glossy, black and white with a real sheen of red feathers atop their noble head; who is the most woodiest of woodpeckers, if not somebird who looks like that guy from The Fox and The Hound flick? But y'know what? Northern Flickers are as woodpecker as they come. Just ask the trees
