No Ode Coyote is not a real name. Name is a bastardation of Obe Wan Kanobe from Star Wars into Ode Wan Coyote in honor of the coyote who was my main travelng companion for many years and taught me much. The coyote [Eastern style "Coydog"] was given to me as a pup by a Vietnam draft resistor who lived right on the Canadian/Vermont border.
I am familier with Peter Coyote though. ..know 'of' him..don't "know" him. Ken [Ode] At 09:24 AM 9/24/2003 +0900, you wrote: >Are you related to Peter Coyote?
