AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the vocalizations of local red foxes during their mating season, described as surprisingly similar to human female sounds. Participants express curiosity about these calls, with one suggesting that the sounds can be alarming, especially when heard at night. A YouTube video is referenced as a way to illustrate these unique sounds, although it is noted that the recording does not capture the true essence of the local foxes' calls. The conversation also touches on past experiences with a fox kit found in the backyard, highlighting the close interactions people have with wildlife in their neighborhoods.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
