Today In Slow News: The World's Loneliest Coyotoe

We'll hand it to ABC 7: they've figured out a way to harness the internet for full, blanket news coverage. You wouldn't think the day after Easter would be full with too much news. In fact, between Tiger Woods, Scottie Pippen, and Opening Day, it felt like the focus was all on sports (if not on Blago). So we can't blame the ABC 7 team for sending Chopper 7 to cover the events at Luther North High School this morning where a coyote, obviously in need of a little springtime roadrunner companionship, wandered on to a football field at the school (students have the day off). The little guy has spent most of his time trotting around and staring at the Animal Control vehicles that are on the track surrounding the field though he did scamper a bit across school grounds just for fun. We'll admit, we were riveted for about five minutes but, eventually, just realized that - while they've certainly made plenty of headlines over the last few years - a coyote wandering around a field is still just a coyote wandering around in a field.
