The Town House was packed last night for the coyote presentation, with an impressive array of desserts and some fascinating natural objects on display. As Dorothy Heinrichs noted, the only person missing was the speaker! We're hoping to reschedule.

A not-so-minor clarification: It was already legal to carry pistols and revolvers without government permission. The new law pertains to concealed carry.
