A coworker got rear-ended while stopped at a stoplight on her way to work today. What made this accident particularly outrageous is that the woman who hit her not only finished the phone call she was in the middle of when the accident happened, but actually made a second call before dealing with the matter at hand. She never even asked my coworker if she was hurt (thankfully she wasn't).

I would have been tempted to grab her little phone and bounce it off the asphalt.

On a brighter note, we saw a coyote during field class today. I'd say about two thirds of the kids got to see it before it disappeared up the hill. I think our group must have awakened it from where it was sleeping in a stand of Redwoods off the side of the trail. It didn't stick around. Some of the kids thought it was a fox. Of course, some of the kids this week have asked if they are likely to get eaten by bears while on a hike.
