Key Story

When I was riding home from Garland Wednesday, it looked rainy ahead. So when I stopped at a traffic light, I pulled a plastic bag out of my back pocket to protect my cell phone in case I hit a shower  - forgetting that I had stuffed my set of keys in the same pocket. I didn't realize I had dropped them till I got back to McKinney. I went back that way on Friday, and looked around - but there was no sign of the keys at the intersection.
Then, Friday evening I received an email from the McKinney library:


Mr. Horn,
Someone found keys and your library card in the street.  We're holding them for you at the Hall library on Hunt St. in the lost and found.  We'll hold them for one month.  Please let us know if you want them.

This morning, I went by the library and received a small manila envelope containing the keys (somewhat battered and coated with tar), and a note:

This partially restored my hope for humanity...

Coyotes in McKinney

On my way home from Garland today, I spotted a pair of coyotes in a field about a mile from our house.
They were just sitting in the middle of a plowed field, sort of looking around. They were a couple of hundred yards from the road (Hardin Blvd). I circled back and parked my bike and watched them for a few minutes. When a big bunch of traffic came by, they trotted off to some nearby trees.
As usual, I didn't think to try to photograph them. Oh, well - at least I got to see them.
