News flash! There are coyotes residing in Landers. The longtime residents of our community are
not surprised by this news or the squealing in the night darkness, out there
among the creosote bushes. As the sun
comes up the coyotes run for their hiding places and the security they
crave. Most coyotes dart away at the
sight of we humans, they run scared, moving as fast as the jackrabbits. Coyotes do not bother anyone for they are
coyotes who fed off the scraps left by others.
Generally, this resident has very little respect for coyotes. Then there is Donald.
This coyote is worthy of a
name. Donald is a coyote who is
different. Donald struts down the middle
of the cart paths we call roads, he does so in broad daylight. His strut is slow and deliberate, it could
even be called a confident swagger telling us all that he is in charge. Constantly looking this way and that, Donald
runs off from no one, not even we humans, he only struts about his business. Donald is to be respected and he earns it
every day as the leader of the pack.
This resident of Landers is not a
Donald for I am prone to hide among the bushes but that dog has my
respect. Would that the voters of America would learn to live out the Donald that resides in all of us.
