Hi! How're you doing? I need to know more about the coyote getting married, please. What's it got to do with sunny rain, who officiates, how do the people know about it, i have a lot of questions.
Hi! While waiting in line to give plasma, I had a pretty long talk with the security guard which felt like a much needed "touch grass" moment, so I'm doing pretty well! I had a cool/nice human interaction with a non-relative irl! (It's a small win but I'm taking any I can get these days xD) Apparently different places have different versions of this. Like in the state of Tennessee they say the Devil is kissing his wife when it rains while the sun's out. In the Mexican part where my family is from it's just...a thing to say xD In the same token that every time you see a cow, whenever it rained while the sun was out, someone would say "Se esta casando un coyote."
Morbidly, casar in Spanish means both to marry and to hunt. So the origin of that phrase could have gone through a game of telephone, but the way I heard it with context given(as little as it may have been thinking back on it, plus I was a wee child) I always pictured the animal.
And personally, I pictured a lot of desert like animals gathering on top of a mountain range. Because of the wild animals I saw, again personally, I headcanoned they were married by a snake(because I never saw an eagle but I did see snakes...the animals on the Mexican flag xD) and in attendance were all the farm dogs and scorpions, snails, rollie pollies, cows, donkey's and horses that could make it.
