Ever hear of the "hyperthymic temperament?" Bang your chest like a gorilla, and read this now: molly.com/?p=146

Earlier I found this, and was most intrigued: θυμός - or, "spiritedness" from the Greek. Hyperthymia morphed into personality disorders.

Klout changed me from "Thought Leader" (which I liked) to "Broadcaster" (which I hate). I do repeat myself, but I have unique thoughts, yes?

Fit is: "I can run faster, harder and longer than you." Adaptive is: "the earth just shifted half a football field. Must fix the algorithm."

Adaptive is being able to be change in a moment. @khaled_ouanes The innate design, agility and progress of living organisms *is* adaptation.

@stefsull @garazi That is crazy, in the afternoon? Only out here in the early a.m. I hear them all night ululating though. SpookyBeautiful.

@japchap When you hear a Coyote laugh, you'll know the answer is just "Yes" - it's both. We took their land, they are scavengers at best.
Coyotes never used to leave the river. Not for over 40 years. Now they are so hungry our leftovers: Dogs, cats, and even small children.

@stefsull I'm in north central Tucson and the coyotes are now up from the river, creeping past at 4:00 a.m. and wanting kitty kibble snacks.
