It's a jungle out there

I had a surprise waiting for me in the Herald's parking lot last night: a coyote.

Angry readers are one thing, but a hungry, unfrightened wild thing -- I called for help.

Jim Jones was the late-night editor, and he came out loaded with camera. That apparently was the needed weapon, as the critter went loping out of range -- and out of my harm's way.

Every day's an adventure, right?
