Since we can't discuss politics, I have little more to say.Except that people can't talk to one another any more. I can't talk to my cousin because her views aren't based on facts. If you point out that her information is incorrect, she doesn't care. Her views are all based on her emotions (read prejudices). I like my cousin. I've always had to avoid politics with her, but I truly question whether we can get through the next few months without it coming up. The discussion of politics is like a giant landmine. How do you sidestep something so big? I fear that many friendships will be damaged.

If there was some way to block the words "Trump," "Hillary," and "Clinton" on Facebook, I'd sure like to know how.
Today on my hike, a coyote howled. Immediately all the others in the area answered. I rarely see coyotes there, but, holy cow, there were LOTS of them around. They weren't very far away, either. And I couldn't see a single one.
